I am not in a position to fully address what can be improved for HPE Wireless WAN currently. However, there are some areas that need improvement, such as connectivity issues and additional features that other products have. For example, Meraki is more comfortable compared to HPE in terms of adding and managing devices.

Stability is an issue, as the access point becomes overloaded with more than twenty connections. Additionally, the current product uses two antennas. Increasing to four antennas could benefit us.
Integration might be improved, particularly with a single sign-on for Active Directory. Currently, our Windows users log in with different credentials, although many of our other applications integrate with Active Directory. If it's possible to integrate the HP access points with Active Directory, it would be beneficial. We also have guest users, and it would be useful to have time-restricted passwords for them, limiting their access to only the Internet.
HP has wired the product range. The sales sync should connect with and sync up with the customers. They have to introduce new technologies and their road map, and only then can a customer collaborate with them. It will hardly take fifteen to twenty minutes. It depends on the site and where you are going to mount it.

Aruba has taken over HPE, and my institution is still evaluating HPE Wireless WAN. The license cost of the product is an area where the prices are neither expensive nor cheap, leaving a scope for the prices to be lowered further.

HPE OfficeConnect 1420 4G Switch is the most popular here. It is one of the OE and management switches from HP. HPE should improve performance and stability.

I would say that the integration with other vendors in areas such as management or the visibility of other vendors in the management tools could be improved. Overall, I'm good with what is on offer right now.

It's very old-fashioned, which is why we have made the decision to replace it. They should have some security features to protect our network. The access points should have the newest algorithms in security, and the controller should be stable.

Mostly, I face problems with client connectivity and some devices, like Android. They need to focus on client devices to improve customer experience.

The tool must warn the management about unwanted traffic.

The HPE Wireless dashboard could be more user-friendly.
Sometimes it can be difficult to find the right sizing. It would be ideal if they developed more industrial synergies on the market.
In the next release of the solution, there should be better integration with other platforms.
The initial setup could be simplified. The integration with Microsoft could be improved. The scalability and the support could be better.
HPE Wireless WAN could provide better access points and better pricing.
Technical support could be improved. They could respond a bit faster. Right now, they are slow.
I would like for it to be faster. It should be a faster device.
