Aruba Switches Reviews

The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is the command-line interface (CLI). It is similar to Cisco's CLI, making the learning curve very small compared to other solutions.

I have some security issues with Aruba Switches. I need to update the firmware and then the problems might go away.

The integration for Aruba Switches could improve. The solution works well with some solutions, such as Cisco, Ruckus, or Brocade switches. However, nonstandard switches could have better integration in order to comply with the standards of natural communication Aruba Switches need to integrate with the other brands.

I have been using Aruba Switches for approximately two months.

Aruba Switches is scalable.

We have approximately 2,000 people using the solution. We have plans to increase usage in the future.

The technical support from Aruba Switches could improve.

The initial installation of Aruba Switches is easy.

We have one person for the maintenance of the solution. However, we have four people who are managing the solution.

Aruba Switches has a lifetime warranty on the solution and after five years the solution will be at its end of life.

Aruba Switches is a solution that is growing at the moment in my country.

I rate Aruba Switches an eight out of ten.

Aruba Switches are always innovating to bring new solutions to the market.

Aruba Switches cover lots of areas and support automated and IOPS and with the central products, but I think when we look at the solutions overall, IOPS devices are not covered so much in Aruba Central. We are in Croatia and it is a small country, I don't know how its situation is in Europe, America, or Asia.

In a future release, I would like to see old switches have coverage in Aruba Cloud Central.

I have been using Aruba Switches for approximately three years.

The stability of Aruba Switches is very good.

Aruba Switches are scalable.

I rate the scalability of Aruba Switches a five out of five.

I would rate the technical support from Aruba Switches a five out of five.

I have used other solutions such as Cisco. When comparing Cisco and Aruba Switches, Aruba Switches work with open standard protocols, use ZTP configurations, and beneficial support.

Aruba Switches offers a very easy solution to establish and set them up. Series six is created with a cloud solution central, creating lots of automated setup in the cloud.

If you have 100 Aruba Switches you only need one person for the maintenance. However, if you have a mixed environment with different switches then two to three people would be required for the maintenance and support.

I rate Aruba Switches a nine out of ten.

We use this solution for small and middle sized offices across different locations. The switches connect to the remote sites for distribution to the end user. 

We have needed to upgrade software to fix some challenges we experienced. After downloading the latest version of Aruba, these were fixed. 

I have used this solution for three years. 

The initial setup was straightforward. The time to deploy depends on the experience you have and how many switches you are setting up. 

This is an affordable solution. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten. 

We have more than 105 switches with different models including 2930, 5412, and 8300 with 3-tier topology.

The Aruba switching solution is stable. Its credibility is great and the GUI is user-friendly.

The Aruba care support and the lifetime warranty are very valuable aspects. 

The log viewer should be improved. All required features already exist.

I've used the solution for about 2 years and 4 months and I am still using it.

I am working in a solution-based company. Whenever we get the product, we create a template and deploy it on the customer's site.

We deal with different versions of this product based on a customer's requirements. I have deployed three Aruba 320M Series switches. One of our customers is a marketing company, and they used Aruba switches for LAN purposes. They used the 2930 and 3810 series, and we configured them according to their requirements with LAN, lags, trunking port, etc.

These switches have a good performance, and they are also quickly configurable. 

We had an issue with the hardware where one or two interfaces went down after one and a half years. This issue impacted only one or two interfaces, not the whole hardware.

I did not have any issues related to its stability.

It is easy to scale. Our customers are medium-sized companies.

Their support is good. We once faced an issue related to the programming or configuration of a switch, and we had raised a ticket with them. Their support engineer had a look and resolved the issue.

We also use Cisco switches. In terms of configuration, Cisco switches are easier than Aruba switches. The configuration commands of Aruba switches are quite similar to Cisco switches. There is just a little bit of difference in the trunking commands and lab configuration.

In terms of scalability, security, and performance, there is no difference between Cisco and Aruba switches. In terms of features, the VRF feature in Aruba switches is better than the one in Cisco switches. This feature is called stack in Cisco switches.

It is a simple process. It is easy to configure Aruba switches. 

The deployment duration depends on customer requirements and the number of switches. For a small setup, we can do the configuration within one or two days. For a big setup, it will take more time.

We are an integrator. We also do the maintenance.

I don't know the exact cost of the licensing, but based on what I have heard from my sales team, Aruba is affordable. Aruba switches are cheaper than the switches from Cisco and other vendors.

I would recommend this solution depending on the requirements. It is easy to use and affordable. It is cheaper than other solutions.

I would rate Aruba switches an eight out of ten. 

I use Aruba wired and wireless switches as part of my network infrastructure.

The most valuable features are stability, ease of management, and the monitoring tool.

These switches offer high availability and support stacking.

The audit feature gives me the ability to trust Aruba. 

The layer three switches are very scalable and very reliable.

The command-line interface could be easier to use, perhaps having voice control.

I have been working with Aruba Switches for a year and a half.

Our network environment is very stable with these switches, including wireless coverage.

I have approximately 100 switches and serve about 2,000 users.

The support team has a very fast response and they are very useful.

Our old environment was also built from Aruba products, which means that all of the components are compatible with each other.

The initial setup is very straightforward and very easy. In the last project that we deployed, I and one engineer configured about 100 switches in two days.

Our network team includes two people who are responsible for deployment and maintenance.

The pricing is perfect.

Overall, this is a good product that has all of the features I need. I plan on continuing to use these switches and I can recommend them to others.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We use them for our networks as extensions.

The product is user friendly, little to no faults and downtime.

I have been using the product for approximately two years.

We have not had any issues with the product and its functions. It has been stable.

We currently use the solution for approximately 400 employees. We have had no issues with scalability.

The customer service could be a bit quicker and the employees could be more professional.

The install was straightforward, we had no issues.

The product is a bit expensive.

I rate Aruba Switches an eight out of ten.

We are using Aruba switches for our local network infrastructure.

Management-wise, this is a good solution.

This is a very stable switch.

It would be better and easier for us to buy if the price were reduced.

I have been working with Aruba Switches for at least two years.

I've had no issues with problems related to stability. From my perspective, everything is working well.

I have never been in contact with Aruba technical support.

We have worked with other switches from other vendors and I have knowledge about Cisco, HP, and others. With HP, we can get some good discounts.

We had no issues or problems with the initial setup.

We have an internal team for deployment and maintenance.

This is an expensive product, costing about double what most competitors do. I would like to keep Aruba as my infrastructure, but it costs a lot.

From the perspective of IT management, this is a good product, it is working fine and I don't have any issues with it. I can recommend it to others.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
