Network and Security Engineer at a security firm with 11-50 employees
Exceptionally stable, cost-effective, and offers a user-friendly interface
Deploying Array AG Series isn't exactly simple as it requires expertise in handling SaaS solutions and involves a thorough study of the customer's network and requirements. Skill set and support assistance are crucial during installation. For a single-box, basic configuration, you might pull it off in about five hours, a day at most. However, achieving stability takes longer, as VPN products need time to settle in an organization. Depending on user complaints and day-to-day issues, it could take a while to get everything running smoothly. In our deployment experience with Array AG Series, five engineers, including myself, were involved in executing over twenty VPN projects across India in the last four to five years. These were substantial projects, taking about a week to stabilize the solution. As for maintenance, it is neither simple nor overly complicated. It requires careful attention because any issues can have a global impact on users over the internet. Maintenance for a single site typically requires the attention of one or two individuals.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I appreciate most about the Array AG Series, and what our clients value as well, is its exceptional stability."
"Aruba works well in large spaces, especially for manufacturing. That's when you start seeing the effectiveness of Aruba."
"The stability and performance of Aruba Remote Access Points with minimal issues in an IT environment are worth a recommendation."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is experienced by those working at home since they get a secure Wi-Fi connection."
"The product is very flexible."
"It provides good Spectrum Analysis and troubleshooting."
"The authentication features are valuable."
"The tool's most valuable features are its ease of configuration and deployment."
"What I like best about Aruba Remote Access Points is that it's pretty easy to set up."
 

Cons

"The main area for improvement with Array AG Series is its support services."
"But the hardware needs to be revamped when we compare the Meraki solution."
"Our difficulty with Aruba is that the product and the license are two different items. So, if we are adding an access point, we have to pay for two items. We have to pay to add the access point in the controller and we have to pay for the license."
"I use the controller when using Aruba Remote Access Points, particularly during configuration. Hence, room for improvement in Aruba Remote Access Points is for its web UI to be easier to control."
"It would help if the remote APs had some kind of SoHo environment with built-in firewall features. That way it could connect directly in a client-to-site type of environment, or a site-to-site VPN environment. That way users could have a complete office setup without coming to the private cloud."
"In terms of areas for improvement in Aruba Remote Access Points, when planning for the customer's end, you need to highlight the precautions against EMF emissions and environmental emissions, as well as power management limitations."
"I would rate stability as five out of ten. Sometimes it is stable, and sometimes it is not."
"It could have better monitoring features. Not all features are available on the monitoring dashboard."
"Its scalability capabilities should be improved."
