Aruba Instant On Access Points Reviews

We use the solution for Wi-Fi solutions.

The solution is stable and easy to manage.

The solution’s scalability and autonomous part could be improved.

I have been using Aruba Instant On Access Points for two years.

The product is stable.

The solution is scalable but up to a limit. It is not for enterprise. Aruba has made the Instant On for a separate range.

10-15 people are using this solution.

We cater the solution to smaller customers, like small hotels, clinics, or hospitals. It is deployed where the customer is budget-constrained.

The initial setup is easy and takes one to two days to complete.

One or two technically qualified would be sufficient for managing Instant On.

We’ve achieved ROI.

One doesn’t need a license to use Instant On. You can install and plug and play. It is an affordable solution.

I recommend the solution because it is stable and easy to manage.

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

Regarding the product's use cases, the solution is good, or else people would have reached out to us complaining about its performance or faulty equipment.

Aruba Instant On Access Points is one of the better types of equipment in terms of entry-level access points though there are not many advanced features that are being used in it. Aruba Instant On Access Points is used in retail, cafeterias, or campus networks to provide access points to provide Wi-Fi.

From an improvement perspective, I hope to see lesser limitations in Aruba Instant On Access Points.

I have been using Aruba Instant On Access Points for less than two years. I use Aruba Instant On AP25 Access Points.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten. We haven't had many complaints coming in from the customers regarding the performance or the equipment, so I think they are a little above average.

Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a four out of ten.

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.

In my company, around 200 users are there for Aruba Instant On Access Points.

Aruba Instant On Access Points is suitable for small businesses.

I haven't specifically used the solution's technical support and have always opted for general HPE support. I rate the technical support an eight out of ten.

The solution is deployed on-premises.

The tool can be deployed in a day.

Two people from my company are needed for deployment.

I rate the product's pricing a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. Solutions from some brands are cheaper than Aruba Instant On Access Points, while others, like Cisco, are expensive.

The product is easy to set up, providing value for time since it is very quick.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven and a half out of ten.

The tool is priced high.

Positive

The solution's initial setup process is easy with Aruba switches. In comparison, it is time-consuming if you use third-party switches.

If you want a reliable and easy-to-implement solution, go for Aruba. I rate it an eight out of ten.

I have installed Aruba Instant On Access Points in a place where the WiFi works better on my site.

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 like to see a feature that blocks, increases, or decreases bandwidth capacity for devices. 

I have been working with Aruba Instant On Access Points for over a year now.

The stability is good.

We have between thirty and forty people currently using it.

Technical support is good and I have not had any issues at all.

I would rate Aruba Instant On Access Points a ten out of ten. It works perfectly and I think it is the best solution.

It is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises or departments.

My clients appreciate how Aruba seamlessly integrates their switches with their phones. 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.

We are looking for an update such as a firewall that consolidates and streamlines the management of multiple elements into a single, simplified interface. It would provide a unified view of our network, covering switches, phones, and financial transactions.  The convenience of controlling everything from your mobile device is a notable advantage, but it's important to note that some advanced features are not available through the mobile application. For more complex network setups, such as data centers, or for greater capabilities and options, you might need to consider other solutions like Cisco or Aruba switches. The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions.

I have been working with it for three years.

We did not have any issues with it. I would rate its stability capabilities ten out of ten.

It is quite efficient, allowing you to handle around seven or eight devices.

We did not have the need to contact customer support.

Previously, we used UniFi, but we switched to Aruba because UniFi required a controller on mobile devices for managing the network. Once the controller was set up, troubleshooting or making changes became challenging. This issue prompted us to make the switch to Aruba, as it provides a more straightforward solution in our area. Aruba devices automatically connect and function without the need for complex controls.

The initial setup is easy and it only involves creating an account.

Deployment is swift, typically taking only six to fifteen minutes for a solution designed for office use. This efficiency is due to the fact that everything operates through the mobile application.

Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

Aruba Instant On Access Points is used to access a network.

The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant On Access Points is they are easy to manage.

I have used Aruba Instant On Access Points within the last 12 months.

Aruba Instant On Access Points is stable. It's using the same radio elements of Omni antennas that most of the enterprise-grade solutions are using, but the intelligence is a little less.

Aruba Instant On Access Points is suitable for small to medium-sized businesses.

It is scalable to a certain degree but not nearly as scalable and robust as your enterprise-grade solutions.

If your initiative is WiFi first or if you have a WiFi first initiative, wouldn't use this solution. I'd choose the tumultuous enterprise-grade solutions.

The implementation of the Aruba Instant On Access Points is simple and flexible for smaller environments.

The price of Aruba Instant On Access Points is reasonable. They are competitively priced. I've even used it in my home at one time because of the low price.

My advice to others looking to purchase Aruba Instant On Access Points is it does not matter what access point you purchase. Most of them are within the specifications and the standards of the IEEE nowadays. Look at your infrastructure first. Make sure layer one of your infrastructure, is in good shape because if not, you can buy a $10,000.00 access point and it's not going to do anything for you. If you don't have sufficient infrastructure with the correct bandwidth and your backend support from your routers and switches. If they're not robust, then spending good money on a robust wireless solution is worthless.

I rate Aruba Instant On Access Points a seven out of ten.

The solution's most valuable features include a simple deployment phase, easy management, and scalability. The scalability of access points is perfect.

I want the product to be made available at a cheaper price point. My company's customers look for the price before purchasing the solution.

I have been using Aruba Instant On Access Points for five years. My company has a partnership with Aruba.

It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

My company deals with around 100 customers of the product.

The product offers very fast support, which is provided by skilled engineers.

After one access point gets deployed, the other access points can be pushed by getting the config part from the first access point that was deployed. Only one default access point after which I don't deploy any other access points work since I just need to connect to a network, after which the config part from the initial access point can be used to deploy the other access points.

The solution can be deployed in five minutes.

I recommend the product to those who plan to use it because it is easy to deploy and has good scalability features.

In terms of ROI, the product offers stability, reliability, good work equipment, an easy deployment process, and the best scalability features and support.

There is a need to make yearly payments towards the standard licensing charges associated with the product. There are some additional costs associated with the product since I have seen customers who purchase three-year or five-year plans.

The solution helped simplify our company's wi-fi network setup and management, specifically for small and big enterprise-sized businesses.

The guest access feature impacted our company's business and customer satisfaction. The tool has a good guess portal, and it is easy to configure.

I have not used the tool's mobile app.

I rate the solution a ten out of ten.
