    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    If the business proves to be a larger enterprise, you need to change to a more complex device. It is suitable for small to medium businesses.

    I rate the solution’s scalability a seven to eight out of ten.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is straightforward and takes 15-30 minutes to complete.

    You can bring it directly to the customer and plug it into any RSTP network. You can remotely set it up from anywhere.

    What other advice do I have?

    It's not necessary to use a complex network setup. You can use RSTP to work with Aruba On, and it will directly connect to the call portal for setup.

    I recommend the solution for small to medium businesses since it is stable. It is not suitable for enterprise.

    Overall, I rate the solution as seven to eight out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises

    Outstanding reliability and seamless connectivity well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises
    Pros and Cons
    • "With a variety of switches in their setup, they find that Aruba's online monitoring tools and configuration options for applications effectively manage most of their requirements, all while keeping the process straightforward and user-friendly."
    • "The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions."

    What is our primary use case?

    It is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises or departments.

    What is most valuable?

    My clients appreciate how Aruba seamlessly integrates their switches with their phones. With a variety of switches in their setup, they find that Aruba's online monitoring tools and configuration options for applications effectively manage most of their requirements, all while keeping the process straightforward and user-friendly.

    What needs improvement?

    We are looking for an update such as a firewall that consolidates and streamlines the management of multiple elements into a single, simplified interface. It would provide a unified view of our network, covering switches, phones, and financial transactions.  The convenience of controlling everything from your mobile device is a notable advantage, but it's important to note that some advanced features are not available through the mobile application. For more complex network setups, such as data centers, or for greater capabilities and options, you might need to consider other solutions like Cisco or Aruba switches. The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been working with it for three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    We did not have any issues with it. I would rate its stability capabilities ten out of ten.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    It is quite efficient, allowing you to handle around seven or eight devices.

    How are customer service and support?

    We did not have the need to contact customer support.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    Previously, we used UniFi, but we switched to Aruba because UniFi required a controller on mobile devices for managing the network. Once the controller was set up, troubleshooting or making changes became challenging. This issue prompted us to make the switch to Aruba, as it provides a more straightforward solution in our area. Aruba devices automatically connect and function without the need for complex controls.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is easy and it only involves creating an account.

    What about the implementation team?

    Deployment is swift, typically taking only six to fifteen minutes for a solution designed for office use. This efficiency is due to the fact that everything operates through the mobile application.

    What other advice do I have?

    Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    On-premises
