That's when you start seeing the effectiveness of Aruba.""I can use the solution from my home or any remote office to access printers, servers, etc.""The product is very flexible. So far the stability of the solution has been good."

More Aruba Remote Access Points Pros →

"It has provided a seamless gateway to much-needed platforms.""It connects quickly and stays connected. The user interface is pretty neat too.

Cons
"There must be a more easy-to-use GUI."

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"Its scalability capabilities should be improved.""There is room for improvement in terms of pricing. If they can be more competitive.""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.""The product needs an increased level of security for the end user.""Our difficulty with Aruba is that the product and the license are two different items. So, if we are adding an access point, we have to pay for two items. We have to pay to add the access point in the controller and we have to pay for the license.""The security side of Aruba Remote Access Points could be improved.""The remote access point coverage should be bigger than it is now.""There are some issues, like the VLAN capabilities and support for routing between two VMs."

More Aruba Remote Access Points Cons →

"I would suggest adding more networking and security features that allow more customization within their platform.""There are a few areas where the solution could be improved. For instance, we sometimes encounter connectivity issues, which can be problematic. Recently, I experienced a connectivity issue while trying to move to Azure. Connectivity issues can be quite frustrating.""Currently, I am not able to define a different country or location, which can result in negative experiences as the tool is being recognized by websites and this can make it difficult to access them or force me to disable the program temporarily.""Offering in-app explanations detailing what each feature does, its benefits and potential use cases can help users better understand and utilize the tool to its full potential.""In order to have to bypass the login using the website, a good feature for Perimeter 81 to have is a login instance in the Perimeter 81 application. I'm using a Mac and we don't have that functionality.""The overall UI could be improved and updated to bring a simpler feel to the application.""Perimeter 81 could enhance its reporting and analytics capabilities to provide more detailed insights into network activity.""I'd love to learn more about all of the features. Maybe a monthly spotlight of features or having a banner that explains more ways certain features could be used would be helpful."
