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

"It works well. It is reliable."
"The installation process was easy."
"The solution is easy to use."
"We haven't experienced any glitches so far, so it is a very stable program."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the streaming of screen sharing."
"The GUI offered by the product is good."
"Aruba Wireless's best feature is that it's very, very robust."
"Its most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The reliability has to do with how often an RF link will go down, and this almost never happens in my experience with Motorola outdoor wireless."
 

Cons

"The customization options could be improved."
"The product needs some simplification of the configuration for their security tools or for SD-WAN, specifically."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing, it's quite a premium."
"The integration, pricing, and configuration could always be improved upon."
"The licensing scheme and price could be improved. The price is a little bit expensive."
"Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is expensive."
"Aruba's technical support has room for improvement."
"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."
"The documentation is lacking and they need to work on it. Motorola seems to have less documentation than competitors and less of it readily available online."
