Find out in this report how the two Wireless WAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The installation process was easy."
"I like the way that it integrates with the ClearPass security system on-site."
"Aruba makes use of "Direct Tunnel" as its best security feature."
"It integrates with the Aruba portfolio very easily, and it's a vendor-agnostic solution, and that's brilliant."
"The most valuable features are price, quality, and performance."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is centralized management capability. You don't have to have wireless LAN controllers at every location."
"It’s very stable and reliable."
"Having dual-band is important. Having compatibility with very old equipment on certain frequencies, for example on 2.4 and 5.8."
"Their hardware is very good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a simple and useful tool that offers good performance."
"Overall, it's a straightforward solution."
"The 3x3 MIMO antenna provides excellent coverage and the product is well supported by Ubiquiti in terms of firmware updates."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti Wireless is the ease of configuration."
"The range is usually pretty good, which is the most important thing to use because more or less, all wireless access points are the same."
"The setup is easy and user friendly."
"Aruba Networks Wireless WAN could improve the solution availability. The selection of mounting hardware for the various radios is limited and poor. Often, you have to create and manufacture your own mounting hardware in certain situations."
"The product should improve Aruba Central."
"What needs to improve in Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is the support because it takes quite a long time for the support team to resolve issues. Whenever a new version or update is released, my company sees many bugs and issues, so that is another area for improvement as well."
"It is a little bit cumbersome to configure. If you're designing a WLAN and you want to do and cover certain types of clients, you really have to know different settings and how they interact with one another. If they could automate that so that if you are designing for one type of equipment, you could, in essence, run a wizard. That would certainly save on a lot of calls to tech support."
"Sometimes, the configuration part of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN can be complex, and if you fail to understand the product at once, you may not even know about some features that you can apply to your network, and they may go unused."
"Support is a little expensive. It's also a little tricky to configure Aruba sometimes. For example, if we want to whitelist a device, it works in unexpected ways. I want to allow this device to connect somewhere, and it lets it connect to any device in the network. Let's say I want to allow my phone to connect to the network printer, but if I add my phone to the white list, I automatically allow my phone to connect to any other devices, and it's not secure."
"The product offers a feature that pinpoints where the devices are to help users find them easily if they want to know where a laptop or tablet is, but it is a feature that needs improvements due to some shortcomings."
"When it comes to configuring rules for file security tests, any issues that arise can be referred to as "glitches". Despite the extensive configurations required, the process itself is not overly complicated."
"Sometimes we have some micro breaks we do not know what causes them."
"I would like a better explanation or better documentation on how to use the onboard spectrum analyzer."
"My company has to wait for a response from the product's support team. From an improvement perspective, the product's support team should be quicker to respond."
"There isn't any technical support."
"This solution should be more robust when it comes to connectivity and improve wireless technology."
"Central monitoring is the main functionality that should be included in the product."
"One of the Ubiquiti access points broke down, and it can't be used. It's still down now, so overall Ubiquiti hasn't been a good experience for me."
"t does not have traffic shaping or traffic policies in its wireless requirements."
