Remote access has provided secure site connectivity and supports centralized on‑prem operations
We have a solution that is completely Aruba, including the controller, access point, and switch. We deploy ClearPass from Aruba in our company on VMware, which integrates well and works without issues. Aruba Remote Access Points are critical for our construction company because we have many sites…

Remote work has become simpler and cost-saving but reliability still needs consistent improvement
CloudConnexa can be improved, particularly because they have many features, but they do have stability issues. I see many times where the stability is not good, and I have seen a few outages with a huge ETA for those outages. It takes a while for them to give a proper ETA, and they often come up with workarounds that I need to run for a long time to address stability. For the log stream, they have a facility to forward logs, but they do not have a good dashboard to filter those logs in their dashboard itself, which for troubleshooting often contains meaningless information. The support is good, and they respond immediately, but the stability issues and the engineering work need to be improved. Stability and logging are the main areas that need improvement.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Aruba works well in large spaces, especially for manufacturing. That's when you start seeing the effectiveness of Aruba."
"The solution is very stable, I haven’t heard about any failure of the access points, it seems to be reliable and the performance is good, there are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn’t crash or freeze."
"It provides good Spectrum Analysis and troubleshooting."
"It's easy to manage."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Remote Access Points is the manageability from the central cloud platform."
"There are no bad features in Aruba Remote Access Points. Every feature is customized to meet customer requirements according to their limitations, and we can make use of all features to benefit us as needed."
"The tool's most valuable features are its ease of configuration and deployment."
"It’s very light."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is very positive. The pricing is straightforward; it is the most affordable solution available."
"CloudConnexa has positively impacted my organization by providing greater security while accessing sensitive files and enabling a hybrid work culture for our teams so that they can connect and work from their homes while accessing the office."
 

Cons

"One thing that would be beneficial is for the Aruba Central mobile app to work more effectively. Currently, it does not function as expected when I really need it."
"I use the controller when using Aruba Remote Access Points, particularly during configuration. Hence, room for improvement in Aruba Remote Access Points is for its web UI to be easier to control."
"But the hardware needs to be revamped when we compare the Meraki solution."
"It could have better monitoring features. Not all features are available on the monitoring dashboard."
"There are some issues, like the VLAN capabilities and support for routing between two VMs."
"The security side of Aruba Remote Access Points could be improved."
"I don't really have any critiques at this time."
"To make the solution better, the cloud solution should be more integrated as it has too many different menus, and it would be preferable to have it more cohesive in one solution."
"The reason I chose an eight out of ten is that although updates are available, it does not show to auto-update, and I feel that a sensitive application such as this should always be updated to the latest version."
"CloudConnexa can be improved, particularly because they have many features, but they do have stability issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Aruba Remote Access Points' pricing is good and affordable."
"In terms of pricing, we've found Aruba's offerings to be very competitive."
"Price-wise, Aruba Remote Access Points is in the middle, so my rating for its pricing is three out of five."
"Aruba pricing is not very high. They offer competitive pricing for what they provide."
"The price of Aruba Remote Access Points could be better. It is a little expensive."
"There are no other expenses than standard licenses for the product."
"You require no separate licensing to convert an access point to RAP."
