How different are the pricing and costs of Aruba Wireless and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN?

Hi,

I'm researching the pricing and costs of these two products: Aruba Wireless and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN. 

Can anyone help me to understand what is the cost difference between the two of them (while assuming we compare very similar product specs)?

Thanks a lot!

Pricing is different based on region; it depends on Aruba's and Cisco's strategy in the region. You must contact the respective partners to get an accurate price for comparison.


That being said, in MENA where I live, as of a few months ago (21H1), Aruba pricing was cheaper than Cisco.

Aruba licensing for the AP's is much cheaper compared to Meraki. 


You can get a 1/3/5-year cloud license per AP.

Had so many problems with Meraki in the past 5 years. I wouldn't recommend them to anybody. The last problem was intermittent problems connecting to an SSID, the helpdesk answer was: "make the password less complex". It was passw0rd. Roaming always seems to break whenever they do an update. One time it took more than a year to fix the issues, couldn't upgrade the firmware for more than a year. Every time I reported a problem, they wanted to upgrade our firmware, but they hadn't fixed the roaming problem. Wifi works so much better now when we moved away from Meraki. Plus, we don't have to pay the license fee anymore.
