"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"With a variety of switches in their setup, they find that Aruba's online monitoring tools and configuration options for applications effectively manage most of their requirements, all while keeping the process straightforward and user-friendly."
"The mobile app is good. We have many things that are connected through mobile. Most users use mobile to connect to the Wi-Fi."
"The configuration is very simple."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The product is scalable. It has 20 users."
"When an error or alert happens, I receive it in the application. I do not have to be there to know if something is wrong."
"I would rate the stability of this solution a ten out of ten."
"The product is easy to set up, providing value for time since it is very quick."
"It's a very stable system."
"The solution is well designed so you can easily integrate it in an infrastructure network."
"Aruba Wireless does not have too many distinguishing feature sets. However, tunneling is more flexible in this solution than other solutions, such as Ruckus."
"The virtual controller has options for updating and remotely restarting any AP from one controller panel."
"Basic initial setup is very easy when it comes to a new user on-premise."
"It provided an easy WiFi solution for our branch offices to deploy. We could usually have them up and running from out-of-the-box in about 10 minutes."
"Good wireless solution that's user-friendly, stable, and scalable, with very good product support, and a limited lifetime warranty."
"The feature I found most valuable to customers in Aruba Wireless is not a technical feature. It's more of its image, trademark, or brand as the product is very well-known in the market, and that's a good point to offer to customers. My customers just ask about the basic features of the product, and usually, when asking about Aruba products, customers don't pay too much attention to any specific feature as long as the product is solid and sure, and that you can change or modify it, as what you can get from Aruba Wireless."
"The price could be better."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"I need a bit more time with it before criticizing the features."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"If there's a way to get a floor map of our office space so we can place the access points on a map to be able to see what's what, where everything is going, where the most traffic is being connected, that would be a nice feature."
"The tool is priced high."
"The product's machine or equipment can cater to around 20 connections and cannot go beyond 50 simultaneous connections, because of which I think the tool's scalability is limited."
"I would like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices."
"If anything, its reporting could be improved."
"It is suitable for smaller organizations, but it may not be the best choice for large enterprises."
"When I first deployed the solution, I couldn't use a tagged VLAN for the management. It might already have been fixed in a recent firmware upgrade."
"When there are a lot of people connected, especially during video streaming demonstrations, the connection can get a bit choppy."
"Aruba needs to be more competitive with newer products. Their legacy makes that more difficult for them."
"The solution could be improved on the security side."
"When we connect to Wi-Fi devices it could be easier because sometimes, it takes a lot of time to complete."
"Additional detailed reporting for client traffic would be a great addition."
"They need to increase the number of routers on the controller."
"Making the setup more simple is an area for improvement in Aruba Wireless. Security-wise, this solution also needs work."
"An area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is creating a DMZ. Without Aruba ClearPass, you need to allow guess access directly via the internet, which means you need to implement the security in between, so this is what I'd like Aruba to improve in the product."
"Aruba is missing some features that are available in other solutions, such as the email notifications. It's a bit complex to configure the notification part. Mainly I'm talking about the rogue WiFi detection. This email notification is crucial for us, but it isn't possible to configure with the built-in software. You need something else, like an external system log collector or another Aruba software. These notifications are essential in hospitality for PCI compliance. My colleagues in famous luxury hotel chains need that report."
