Aruba Instant On Switches Reviews

We work with various types of switches, including the Aruba 8000 series, 6000 series, 2000 series, and 3000 series, depending on the specific requirements of our customers. We adapt our solutions to meet each customer's unique needs rather than focusing on a single model or type. Customers can easily manage, control, and monitor the solution via Aruba GUI.

The solution provides GUI control, making it particularly suitable for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and small office/home office (SOHO) networks. However, for larger enterprise-level organizations, it is recommended to consider Aruba's industrial-grade products.

The solution’s GUI should be improved a bit. Nowadays, nobody wants to use CLI (command-line interface). Nobody wants to type a command because they don't have the time to remember it. Hence, they prefer to use GUI products.

I have been using Aruba Instant On Switches for the past six months.

There was only one instance with a stability issue. Aruba Instant On Switches have limitations and aren't suitable for enterprise-level needs. This can result in functionality issues, power-related problems, and other challenges. We tried to tackle the challenge. However, when we required help, our service engineers contacted customer support.

Before Aruba Instant On Switches, I worked with other products. Since I love technology, I learn about all types of technological products, including all types of switches.

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

Our team of engineers are responsible for the installation of the solution.

With respect to GUI, Aruba Instant On Switches has competitors in Cisco, D-Link, and NETGEAR.

Overall, I rate Aruba Instant On Switches a nine out of ten.

We primarily use Instant On Switches for basic networking.

Instant On Switches' best feature is the 1930, which is stackable.

Instant On Switches' layer 3 and visibility could be improved. In the next release, Instant On Switches should include a bulk configuration feature for selecting multiple interfaces at the same time.

I've been working with Instant On Switches for over two years.

Aruba's technical support is good and responsive.

The initial setup is seamless, and deployment takes between ten and fifteen minutes.

The license for Instant On Switches is free.

Instant On Switches is a cost-effective solution with reasonable features and visibility. I would rate it eight out of ten.

I am using Aruba switches primarily for security, more than one site, stability, and reliability.

The most valuable features I find in Aruba Instant On switches include the access list and VLANs, along with other features such as security and cloud capabilities. The creation of multi-VLANs, access list between VLANs, control, management, and the easy monitoring of switches make it a reliable choice for my organization.

Some models need enhancement of the web interface to make management and monitoring easier. I would appreciate a single interface to manage all network switches from one dashboard.

I have been working with Aruba switches for more than two or three years.

The product is very stable to use and very reliable.

Scalability is a concern. We need to change the model if we want scalability since some models cannot cover all needs in future plans.

HP's technical support is very good in terms of response time and quality. However, the support can depend on the company partner. I deal with a big partner in Egypt, which affects the support quality.

We previously used HP switches and moved to Aruba switches since we changed our infrastructure to HCI.

The initial setup for Aruba switches was simple compared to Cisco and other vendors.

I compared Aruba with Cisco, Juniper, and Fortinet. For Fortinet, I considered the FortiSwitch.

I rate Aruba Instant On switches an eight out of ten.

Regarding the product, I have dealt with a few use cases involving the replacement of the hardware parts. I don't remember the use cases, but they were linked to software bugs.

The solution's most valuable feature revolves around the fact that we use remote access points for remote work in our company. Aruba's access points can be used to build IPsec tunnels with the main office. The tool has some general features for remote work.

Improvements are required in the product's price. I want it to be cheaper.

I have been using Aruba Instant On Switches for five years. My company has a partnership with Aruba.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

It is a scalable solution.

I have used the solution's technical support. The customer support is very friendly and has skilled engineers.

The product's initial setup phase is very simple.

In terms of the product's deployment phase, if we are talking about an access point, I would say that we set up only one access point, and the other access points are connected to our network. The first access point works as a virtual controller for the setup of other access points.

The value derived from the use of the product revolves around the development area as it is very easy to run it in our environment.

I recommended that our company's customers use switches and access points from Aruba.

We don't use the tool's mobile application.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it because it offers stability and scalability.

Security features for applications in the form of a firewall for access points are good. Other vendors or access points don't offer a firewall.

I rate the tool a ten out of ten.

It is used for small and medium-sized businesses. 

It is easy for deployment and configuration.

Tracking with instant switches needs improvement.

I have been using Aruba Instant On Switches for eight years.

The product must be integrated with Aruba Central for better management.

I have been using the solution for two years.

The tool is very stable.

The tool is scalable. We work with small offices and businesses that do not need high-capacity switches and do not have a lot of data traffic. The customer provides the switches and access points. Our implementation team takes not more than two days.

The setup is very easy. The management is also easy. The deployment takes a few seconds. We just need the internet and the serial number of the device to deploy the product. The devices are on-premise, and the service is on the cloud.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
