Room for Improvement: Aruba Airwave could improve by enhancing support for additional non-Aruba devices, expanding data analytics, and simplifying its training process. NetMaster Network Intelligence may benefit from reducing initial setup complexity, optimizing reporting dashboards, and providing more intuitive user interfaces for novice users.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Aruba Airwave offers an easy deployment process with strong customer support, emphasizing user-friendly management. In contrast, NetMaster offers flexible deployment with robust service, although it involves more configuration efforts initially due to its extensive capabilities.
