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

More Netgate TNSR Cons →

"The remote access point coverage should be bigger than it is now.""The security side of Aruba Remote Access Points could be improved.""It would help if the remote APs had some kind of SoHo environment with built-in firewall features. That way it could connect directly in a client-to-site type of environment, or a site-to-site VPN environment. That way users could have a complete office setup without coming to the private cloud.""The solution's technical support has some shortcomings that need improvement.""There is room for improvement in terms of pricing. If they can be more competitive.""The product needs an increased level of security for the end user.""Its scalability capabilities should be improved.""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."

More Aruba Remote Access Points Cons →

"No solution is perfect, so there is room for improvement.""I think Sangfor can provide a web-based SSL VPN version.""The technical support team takes around two months to respond to queries. It is very time-consuming.""Sangfor SSL VPN should provide advanced protection against ransomware and better data analysis.""In redundancy mode, when the firewall goes off, the VPN should be able to connect to the secondary firewall automatically."
