I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

There’s no licensing required to use the tool. We have to renew the maintenance agreement, though.

The pricing is good. If you buy an IAP and later decide to switch to a controller solution, you don't have to discard your existing access points. You can simply convert them and pay for the licensing. It's a convenient option they offer. However, the first generation, they weren't as flexible. So, they have become more flexible.

In my region right now, Aruba Instant comes with a default two-year cloud access license. From the third year, we have to renew the solution.

Aruba Instant is slightly cheaper than other solutions in the same category.

The pricing is reasonable. I'd rate it seven out of ten. Whether it is affordable to other people depends on who is buying it and what they need it to do. It's not like TP-Link or something like that. There are a bit more features. There are also other solutions that are cheaper than this, however, they may not work the same. There are no additional costs. We pay just one price for the device itself. I'm not sure of the exact price. It might have been around $100.

The price is okay. However, it depends on the project. If you have a big project, you can get a good price. Also, you have lifetime support from Aruba, which is great. That can save a lot of money over time.

In terms of costs, Aruba Instant is cheap because it doesn't require a license, but you'll incur charges for the access points. Access point charges could be more affordable.

I'm located in Palestine. I bought it from another person who got it from the main distributor and got it to me. This is how it works. While it depends on the model, compared to other products, it's fairly priced. I'm not sure about pricing worldwide since it could be different. However, it's one of the cheapest solutions here or the more affordable solution. Fortinet is much more expensive, and Unify is even more expensive. If you look at the package as a whole, you're much better off with Aruba. As a business, you always need discounts and cheaper products. If it got even lower, they would get more market share. We pay about $300 per access point. Fortinet is about $500. It's a one-time fee.

The setup cost varies based on each organization's requirements but it is within reason.

It's not easy for me to talk about the cost since I am a technician. I'd rate it a two out of five in terms of affordability. It's more on the expensive side. There might be some extra costs involved depending on the infrastructure.

It's a one time cost, including the upgrades, but you have to pay on a yearly basis if you want support. The price is in the middle in comparison to that of competitors' products.

It is not expensive. Its price is fair. You get many features with the normal licensing. If I look at Cisco, it is very expensive if I need similar things.

I recommend Aruba Instant because it's cheaper for licensing and it's simple for implementation. It's all in the Instant version.
