We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista and Aruba Airwave based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I really like Visual RAF. I use that a lot and then I use the up and down status reports because it'll send me emails and text messages when access points go up or down. That way, I'm aware of what's going on."
"Network management solution that's very stable and scalable. It has a straightforward installation, fast technical support, and multiple features such as reporting, network health analysis, etc."
"The most valuable feature of Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista is the monitoring of wired and wireless equipment."
"Being able to see the health of the network is most valuable. It is very strong in terms of stability and scalability. Their technical support is also good."
"The reports are good."
"It is a good investment for features."
"The solution is not overly expensive."
"It has improved my organization by increasing troubleshooting opportunities which makes things more efficient."
"AirWave definitely helps us troubleshoot and get to the root cause of the issues. It gives you an excellent indication of what's going on within your network at different locations. You can get to the area, take a look at the AirWave analysis, and make informed decisions."
"It can interact with other vendors better than Cisco, which is a good point of AirWave. It is easy to use, and its reporting is good."
"Aruba Airwave provides a robust solution for monitoring and configuring Wi-Fi networks."
"It's scalable because it's licensed per device and we bought licenses with each device. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability."
"The technical support services are good."
"The Clarity feature makes it easy to use and understand what is going on with your network in a nice dashboard."
"They should add more security features."
"The location of the WiFi connection should be available to all users."
"It needs to be infused with more artificial intelligence and machine learning."
"I would like to see a little better reporting, not reporting features, the report maker to be a little better."
"Adding a reliable and proper heatmap for the access points would make this solution better."
"Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista could improve by adding more cybersecurity features."
"I want a management solution to manage and monitor everything from a single dashboard. This is not there with Airwave."
"They should make it cheaper. By doing that, they can replace Cisco, which is also very expensive. If it is equivalent to Cisco in the features, with a reduced price, they can sell it more than Cisco."
"I would try to integrate more products from different vendors in future releases. Because that's really good features that Aruba Airway has, but it's so limited."
"We're looking for more device compatibility. Like compatibility with third-party devices."
"The integration with other platforms like Cisco needs to be improved."
"Pricing for Aruba Airwave could be cheaper, which is an area for improvement in the solution."
"Whenever you get an error it doesn't immediately tell you what the thing is that is causing the error. You have to sit down and research it. If it could say what error is causing the issue, it would make my troubleshooting a lot quicker."
"I would like to see is “AAS”. Not only Aruba APs with central, but NAC/ClearPass, AirWave, and everything licensed as a Service."
