Provides a lifetime warranty, is reliable, has good technical support, and includes security features
The stability is excellent. It comes with a lifetime warranty. Even if you're going through a difficult patch. If there is a failure in that scenario, it is very minor. We were never encountered that, but If it happens, it's probably due to a web party, such as a power fluctuation. Even our power supply includes a hardware replacement. As a result, there are no issues with the even power supply's lifetime warranty. In the general market, other competitor products, the power supply will not be covered, even though we are covering the power supply with a hardware replacement warranty. Which is where we have an advantage. Security features are included.

Faced deployment successfully but configuration complexity needs to be reduced
I think the layout is a bit complicated. There are so many different layers to set up, and it is very easy to miss out or make configuration mistakes because they are hierarchical. You need to be very careful about which one has been in use. Aruba ClearPass is also complicated as well. If Aruba could combine all of their products together, it would be great to have a single pane of glass. Currently, the Aruba sensor does not work together with other products. There is no single pane of glass for location configuration, so you need to log into different websites to check the user experience.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"When you go on the website, everything is clear and you don't have to ask questions."
"The stability is excellent, it comes with a lifetime warranty, and even our power supply includes a hardware replacement, which gives us an advantage over competitor products where the power supply is not covered."
"The tool can work without distributor architecture or seller access points."
"You can use this solution for enterprise companies ranging from five to 5,000 users, and it is very versatile because you get both a cloud version and an on-premises version, so you can use it for unified communication."
"The stability is excellent."
"It’s very stable and reliable."
"I'd recommend anybody looking at implementing Aruba Wireless to go for it - it's a really, very good product."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is that it is easy to configure. Additionally, with the same configuration with Cisco and Ruckus, we can receive 55 to 60 percent more out of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN."
"It's stable and reliable."
"It integrates with the Aruba portfolio very easily, and it's a vendor-agnostic solution, and that's brilliant."
"The GUI offered by the product is good."
"I rate the stability an eight out of ten."
"Its most valuable feature is the ease of use."
 

Cons

"I would like to see something for remote working."
"The price could be reduced."
"Alcatel-Lucent Teldat needs to reduce its price."
"The solution should be cheaper."
"We'd like to have a bit more artificial intelligence incorporated into existing products."
"The solution has bugs. It really has bugs, and you have to wait until it happens, then you realize it."
"The most significant issue is that there is no monitoring in Mobility Master and the controller."
"They have to work on their Aruba Central cloud platform. There are still some glitches such as not showing proper user details. When we removed the AP from the Aruba Central cloud, it showed up as being connected to Aruba Central. They need to fix these issues."
"Support is not good...The support can be improved, especially in India, since whenever I require support, it takes some time."
"It works. We don't look at it any deeper than that and don't find any features ar missing."
"Something that needs to be improved is the integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's licensing costs are one-time. It is not expensive. I rate its pricing a four out of ten. It provides us with a lifetime warranty."
"There is a one-time licensing fee. There is no need to renew it."
"I don't find this solution expensive but pricing is relative."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest ,and ten is the highest."
"Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is pretty cost-efficient than Cisco ISE when my company did a PO, but for a single-party tender, its pricing was on the higher side, so it depends. I rate the pricing for Aruba Networks Wireless WAN as six out of ten."
"The licenses are available as both perpetual or yearly."
"The pricing of the product is pretty good."
"The price of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is less expensive than Ruckus and Cisco."
"The pricing is cheaper in comparison to similar products."
"With some vendors, the access point is not manageable anymore if you don't maintain the license. It's more or less a doorstop because you can't configure and control it. You can't troubleshoot it unless you maintain the license. That's not true with Aruba."
"The solution is expensive."
