Using Aruba ClearPass has resulted in less engineering time compared to other products we've used.
The investment is huge for enterprise clients, but Aruba ClearPass makes processes easier.
I would rate their technical support as a nine or ten, as it's quite good.
Angie was very kind and communicated well in both Spanish and English, making it pleasant to connect with her.
Portnox is one level up, as their customer support is outstanding.
We have faced delays in the resolution of production issues after raising tickets, which impacts productivity.
We have local support, so it's much easier.
Aruba Airwave is fully scalable, as we have a large number of tenants using the network with approximately six thousand end users.
I believe the scalability of ClearPass is rated as ten out of ten.
Once the policy is defined, scaling works automatically and is fast.
In our environment, ClearPass handles up to 100,000 users, which is better than some other NAC solutions like Fortinox that scale up to 25,000.
I have found Aruba Airwave to be stable.
There are issues with some versions, especially in integrating with AD and SSL configurations over port sixty-three.
There aren't many stability issues, but sometimes the guest management function occasionally throws errors.
The end-to-end users' messages show some details that are not always up-to-date, and sometimes the information from the GUI is not exactly aligned with what's on the website.
When attempting to copy a floor plan, it does not copy well, so I often have to redraw the walls.
When upgrading hardware, there were technical issues with network interfaces and Red Hat, which required escalation to developers.
The language and policy enforcement mechanisms are not clear, making it difficult to use the product effectively.
A more streamlined menu of licensing options would be helpful.
Additionally, there is occasional trouble integrating with Active Directory (AD) and SSL configurations in some versions.
The pricing for Aruba Airwave is acceptable because compared to Cisco, it's slightly cheaper, but not significantly - maybe 5% or 7% less expensive.
Permanent licenses can also be purchased, making it cost-effective.
We cannot mix in prices, and of course, prices are going higher.
Compared to Cisco and others, the pricing is reasonable.
It provides near real-time monitoring using AIMON and AURO protocols, which is robust with multiple models and brand support.
Aruba Airwave provides good visibility, offering extensive data on network dynamics, such as access point connections, usage, signal strengths, and potential interference from neighboring Wi-Fi networks.
It is more about troubleshooting and checking the coverage problems of wireless.
Aruba ClearPass is a very user-friendly solution compared to Cisco ISE.
The most effective feature for us is the OnGuard feature.
The ClearPass solution has reduced the amount of engineering time compared to previous solutions, making it more efficient for our purposes.
Aruba ClearPass is a network access control (NAC) solution that provides a range of security and access management capabilities for wired, wireless, and VPN networks. ClearPass enables organizations to secure their networks and devices, enforce security policies, and provide secure access to network resources.

Reviews from Real Users
Aruba ClearPass is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are that it’s easy to use, has a valuable Guest Captive Portal and virtual security enforcement, and has a good web dashboard and policy manager.
“It is easy to use and more integrated with the Aruba wireless networks,” says Muhammad N., Network & Information Security Engineer at a healthcare company.
Ammar F., Head of IT at Hubtech, explains, “What I like most about Aruba ClearPass is that it has the best enforcement feature for the network. I also like its Guest Captive Portal and virtual security enforcement features, but the virtual security enforcement feature is still under testing by my company. Aruba ClearPass also has a wonderful UI which I find valuable."
Another PeerSpot reviewer mentions, "The web dashboard and the policy manager are very intuitive and very easy for the engineers to use."
