"I have found the Access Point (AP) group profile feature extremely useful. It makes deployments look easy."
"The user interface is great."
"This is the second time I've implemented and installed this solution and I think it is outstanding. The support is excellent and so is the hardware. We don't need much support because nothing really goes wrong."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Configure one IAP and all the rest self-configure to that one."
"The solution provides a clear path to instant wireless."
"The product improved overall scalability and simplicity in configuring and replacing. The use of an Aruba Controller to configure multiple APs was game-changing."
"One advantage is the built-in Zigbee-based IoT functionality. You don't need an additional dongle to enable that option."
"Aruba Wireless does not have too many distinguishing feature sets. However, tunneling is more flexible in this solution than other solutions, such as Ruckus."
"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to provide cloud access to configure and manage devices."
"Unlike the Cisco solution that needs a dedicated wireless controller outside of a firewall, SonicWall has everything in one box. Fortinet is close to it."
"A good management tool that can be managed through the cloud or firewall."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."

"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"Because it's cloud-based, it takes time for the floor maps and the heat map to load."
"The Help option within the GUI needs to be improved."
"Some additional reporting features about the clients would be nice when not combined with the AirWave management package."
"Access point mounting options could be better."
"The solution could be improved on the security side."
"The product’s performance got worse with newer releases."
"Aruba Wireless can improve the assigning of access points. We have times that the nearest access point is not assigned but one far away. The integration between access points could improve."
"Making the setup more simple is an area for improvement in Aruba Wireless. Security-wise, this solution also needs work."
"We have a lot of overlapping wireless networks with a lot of cheap equipment that does not run on any rules or regulations. The best way to improve the wireless network, like in SonicWaves, is to defeat these networks by isolating, preventing them, or overcoming their wireless signal. We try to do that, but I live near an airport, and the AirPortRadar glitches my wireless network every nine seconds."
"Integrating with the firewall and management console was a little complex."
"The product's pricing is high and could be improved."
