Aruba Access Points Reviews

The tool's most valuable feature is better connectivity. 

Aruba Access Points should improve its automation. 

I have been using the product for three years. 

I rate Aruba Access Points' stability a nine out of ten. 

The tool's scalability is good. 

Aruba Access Points' support is good. 

Aruba Access Points' deployment is straightforward and completed in one to two days. 

The tool's pricing is not expensive. It is perfect as per the features. 

I rate the tool a ten out of ten. You should go for it. You can get better manageability, support, and stability. 

We use the solution for official purposes.

Aruba is a controller-based solution. We have some multi-story buildings. We only need to maintain one controller, and we can manage it from a single IP address.

The solution’s updates and firmware are complicated to upgrade.

I have been using Aruba Access Points as a customer for five to seven years.

The product is stable.

The solution’s scalability is good. 70-80 users are using this solution in our organization.

The technical support is good, and there is no issue.

Positive

We have used Cisco and D-link. We chose Aruba since they provide a lifetime warranty with zero maintenance and can be managed easily.

The initial setup is easy, and one person is enough to deploy within five hours. It's plug-and-play only. We can buy it on the access phone and install it on our network. It will automatically take an IP address, then we can use it.

The product is costly and comes with a lifetime license. There is neither renewal nor subscription. It is a one-time solution.

The solution is easy to maintain.

We don't have any issues with the network. I recommend this solution if someone asks me what to choose.

Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Our customers are hotels, and the company I worked for provides turnkey solutions for these hotels. Our work starts with infrastructure, implementing passive and copper cabling, followed by active components like switches and controllers. 

On top of that, we provide hospitality solutions, including Opera and Materials Control, primarily focusing on Opera.

We provide a full range of applications that operate the hotel, like front office applications, back office applications, and interfaces between systems.

It is a reliable solution with good coverage. We receive support from Aruba, with assistance from the country manager in providing better quotations and support for projects. 

We did not face any critical problems with the hardware or any of the devices. It is very reliable, and the cost of the hardware is not much compared to Cisco and other products.

Some customers comment that the shape and size of the access point is a little big, especially the one installed in the guest room. Other than that, nothing specific in terms of improvements comes to mind.

I have been working with Aruba Access Points for four or five years, with the most recent experience being six months ago.

It's a very reliable solution. I didn't face any serious issues while handing over projects to customers.

While scaling up to five hundred users, it may cause some performance issues.

Technical support is available through companies in Egypt, providing varying degrees of support. A company called ACT is very good at support. Aruba's country manager is very responsive and supportive.

Positive

I do not have experience working with other wireless LAN products apart from Aruba. I have researched Huawei for a friend, comparing costs with Aruba.

The setup of access points takes minor time in the overall project. Most of the effort is in extending UDP and fiber cables. Configuration is done through a controller, taking about five minutes for each access point.

We manage the project, and I have a technical team that goes into deep technical details.

Here, many owners look at the lump sum figure of the deal, comparing overall costs. Our company contacts Aruba's country manager for extra discounts to secure deals. The pricing is reasonable and lower than competitors.

I researched Huawei to compare with Aruba upon request. The comparison was based on reducing project costs.

Aruba Access Points are reliable and easy to implement. Support from Aruba is quick, unlike Ruckus or Cisco, which take more time.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I use the solution in my company, considering that I deal with retail customers. Nowadays, the tool is connected to a handheld scanner. The tool is mostly used for the scanner and price tag, and being connected to Wi-Fi helps update the price.

Aruba Access Points can configure the virtual controller to manage multiple IPs, so our company doesn't have to set up a physical controller to manage it. Yeah. The tool has virtual controller features.

The product fails to provide better and extended coverage, making it in an area where improvements are required in the tool.

I have been using Aruba Access Points for five years.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

The new firmware is not always stable. Sometimes, Aruba releases new firmware, but they may have some issues.

It is a scalable solution.

More than ten of our company's customers use Aruba Access Points. I think the tool has 1,000 users.

The technical support for the solution has been good so far. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

If I consider the response time of the support team, then I would rate it a seven out of ten.

Positive

I use AP Wizard to help me with the deployment process. The deployment process is straightforward.

The solution is deployed on the cloud and on an on-premises model.

The solution can be deployed in fifteen minutes.

One engineer is required to deploy the product.

The tool's ROI is quite good.

It is a reasonably priced tool.

The solution improved IoT device connectivity and management in my company by providing a wide coverage. Some of the models of Aruba Access Points come with no antennas, and some models cannot operate in a minus degree environment, like for the products kept in the freezer, and I know this because my customer runs a supermarket. Mostly, Aruba Access Points cannot be installed in extreme environments.

The performance of the product is okay.

The product has simplified my company's network administration tasks because it has a centralized management feature, so through a single platform, the management team can manage multiple IPs.

The product is easy to deploy and manage. The price is also reasonable. You can also get support for the product on time.

I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

Aruba is a very popular brand, running from Access, and they have very competitive pricing. When compared to Cisco, they have a very good range. Most of the clients also prefer Aruba in India. It's the working environment.

The interest funds are valuable. 

The pricing can be improved. 

I have been using Aruba Access Points for a year and a half.

It is a scalable solution. We have ten users.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. 

The product's most valuable feature is the warranty. It offers a robust warranty and exceptional performance compared to other brands.

They should reduce the prices as an advanced marketing tool. It will enhance the competitiveness as other brands, like Ubiquiti, offer customers a similar deal.

We have been using Aruba Access Points for five years.

The product is stable but more costly than Cisco. I rate the stability a ten out of ten.

Aruba Access Points is suitable for medium and enterprise-level companies. I rate the scalability a ten out of ten.

The technical support services are good in terms of response time.

Positive

I rate the initial setup process a ten out of ten.

The product's licensing cost is low. However, hardware is costly. Thus, it is overall expensive. I rate the pricing a ten out of ten.

The product provides good support services. It has high pricing but is much better in quality and features than other solutions with similar functionality.

I rate it a nine out of ten.

We use the solution to present the data sheet and explain product offers. We offer multiple modules as per the requirement.

Aruba has multiple IP ranges. There are sections also available in Aruba where you can distribute different subnets. Also, the configuration is very simple.

The solution’s pricing could be improved.

I have been using Aruba Access Points as a partner for one and a half years.

The product is moderately stable.

I rate the solution’s stability a seven or eight out of ten.

We cater the solution to medium-sized businesses.

I rate the solution’s scalability a seven or eight out of ten.

We had a very great experience with the technical team.

Neutral

The initial setup is easy. It depends on the kind of project it is. If it has a very large deployment, then it would take days. If the project is small, then it would take hours.

I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

We achieved ROI.

The solution’s pricing is not so cheap, not so expensive.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We have an academic focus. We are a medical technology company—MedTech, specifically. All of our academic programs operate on the Aruba platform. In addition to our internal systems, all users, whether an enterprise or any other category, use Aruba wireless technology.

We have an open space with no disturbances. Aruba is the right product because additional costs may arise if you opt for alternatives. From a security standpoint, we have adopted it, and each part of the network is secure. Currently, it is comfortable for us.

We have additional security. We are using fabric technology for Extreme switches.

Since we manufacture medical devices, we must adhere to pharmaceutical guidelines. According to these guidelines, our rooms are categorized as 'head type' and thus require network connectivity. However, installing high-end APs in every room may not be feasible. Alternatives such as Cisco Meraki or Ruckus may be suitable for lower-end EPE or in areas where high-end APs aren't necessary. These brands offer smaller, in-system devices that can be installed to cover areas effectively. Installing one to two users per AP is acceptable for administrative purposes.

I have been using Aruba Access Points since 2010.

Technical support is excellent. I need to email them since it is a mandatory requirement. Under the contract, we are entitled to support. First, we need to log a call. Then, within a four-hour timeframe, they will provide a set time for addressing and resolving the issue. We are satisfied with the support.

Positive

We have used Cisco since 2006. We were initially a small company. Now, we have a global presence in software, and every investment in software is connected to a central location via a controller. Everything works fine for remote installations. During 2010-2011, we considered opting for a better product. Therefore, we switched to Aruba Access Points.

The product’s pricing is sustainable.

Ethernet throughput is much better. From a security standpoint, it is good. We face a challenge in wireless connectivity, but we can resolve it by ensuring that every device, including routers, is configured correctly for wireless connectivity. We need to ensure these features are installed everywhere. Additionally, we should review the RRP and other performance metrics for further improvement.

Aruba is easy to manage. UI is good. Endpoints present a bottleneck. We need to be concerned about the AP. We need to insert it into my network and ensure it is updated.

Regarding policy enforcement, we may only need to control the controller. From an operational and maintenance standpoint, we require local support from OEMs. Whether a sensor is connected to a switch or not, it's a one-time setup. We have a mobility controller for centralized management, and the compression provides a really good experience.

Aruba Access points easily integrate with existing network infrastructure.

I recommend the solution.

In India, we're operating on the 5 Ghz band. Additionally, we're looking to use the 6 GHz band as part of a trial bundle. We're confident in our ability to support 2.5 and 5 gigahertz frequencies, but we're closely monitoring the situation. We are a robot manufacturing company whose operations rely on the six gigahertz spectrum. While the Indian government hasn't yet opened up the 6 GHz band, it may change within the next two to three months.

Overall, I rate the solution a 9 out of 10.
