A reliable and simple solution that has content filtering feature but improvement is needed in stability and scalability

Pros

"I find network management features related to monitoring Wi-Fi usage and visited sites particularly valuable. Content filtering is also important to prevent access to malicious or inappropriate websites. It is reliable and simple. "

Cons

"I believe there's room for improvement in monitoring, especially when troubleshooting issues. Currently, there's limited intelligence around monitoring. It needs to improve stability and scalability. "

With an easy setup phase, it is also easy to use and manage

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that the tool offers a ZTP feature."

Cons

"The product's high cost is an area where improvements are required."

A fast and efficient solution for small businesses

Pros

"If you don't need heavy-duty filtering and things like that, it's a cheap solution. And, you have central management, and it works. "

Cons

"In a corporate environment or a larger network, where more advanced filtering or MAC-based filtering is needed, I don't think the IAPs would be sufficient."

Useful as access points but improvement is needed in support

Pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is Captive Portal, which we employ for our guest network. It enables us to create a separate virtual subnet for guests, ensuring their network traffic remains isolated from our office network. Another valuable feature is its role-based access control. This functionality allows us to assign different access privileges to users based on their roles within the organization. "

Cons

"The tool's support quality has changed since HPE acquired it. It is also impossible to tell the log dates. "

Comes at a good price and has a good cloud console

Pros

"The most beneficial features for network management are the price and the cloud console."

Cons

"An important missing feature is the console port, which allows direct management without the cloud. "

Provides good seamless connectivity, user experience, performance, and reliability

Pros

"Aruba Instant is a cloud-managed solution that can be managed from the cloud."

Cons

"Embedding a heatmap tool within the product would make it easier to conduct a wireless survey."
