Aruba Wireless Reviews

We have 150 clients who are using this solution.

The solution is deployed on-premises.

The wireless controller and access points are valuable features.

The console is difficult to use. The firewall settings could be improved.

I have been working with Aruba Wireless for two years.

It's a stable solution.

The scalability is okay.

We had some complications with the controllers, so we received help from technical support when we couldn't find any tutorials online.

I would rate technical support as five out of five. They're very fast.

We have also used Cisco. Aruba's database is better compared to Cisco. We chose Aruba because the pricing is better.

Setup is straightforward.

Aruba is less expensive than Cisco.

I would rate this solution as nine out of ten.

I primarily use the solution for wireless connectivity.

I really appreciate the seamless mobility between access points.

The solution is very stable. 

It can scale as needed.

Technical support has been helpful. 

It did take us a while to get used to the setup.

We have had issues with the availability of the equipment. We always have trouble locating equipment, finding suppliers who sell it, or finding someone who has stock.

I've been using the solution for the past three years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

We haven't had issues with scalability. It has met our needs so far. 

Our organization is quite sizeable, and 10,000 people alone are cell phone users. They all use Aruba Wireless. 

I've never dealt with technical support. 

I recall there was an issue that we had to call to contact technical support, and the architect contacted Aruba directly. It took them like three days to resolve the issue. Generally, my understanding is that they are helpful. 

Positive

I also have experience with Cisco Wireless solutions as well. 

The initial setup does take some getting used to. However, once you understand it, it's quite straightforward. 

I'd rate the ease of setup at a four and a half out of five. 

I don't have any insights into the exact cost of the solution. My understanding is that it is a bit more expensive than Cisco. I'd rate the affordability at a three out of five.

I'm not involved in the decision-making process regarding looking at solutions.

We're Aruba partners. 

New users need to understand the technical solution before considering it, especially if they're migrating from Cisco to Aruba. If that's the case, they need to understand Aruba before migrating fully. They shouldn't compare it as it's not apples to apples. 

I'd rate the product eight out of ten. 

At the time when we started implementing it, there wasn't enough experience in the market, so all the engineers and the architects had to learn from scratch. I also have a concern about the cost, which seems, from what I recall, a little bit higher than the one we were replacing. Otherwise, it's a very good, reliable product.

I'm using Aruba Wireless for enterprise deployment that's more centralized.

What I like most about Aruba Wireless is its stability, functionality, and performance.

What needs improvement in Aruba Wireless is its access point, in particular, it should have more flexibility. Aruba Wireless has Campus AP, Instant AP, and Unified AP, but it would be better if the product has a generic access point that you can manage over the cloud, on-premise, etc.

Another area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is scalability.

In terms of what additional features I'd like to see in the product, I'm unsure if it's already on the roadmap, but if possible, it would be good to have an SD-WAN functionality on the AP in Aruba Wireless.

I have years of experience with Aruba Wireless.

Aruba Wireless has great stability, especially because it's from Aruba, a brand known for its stability and performance.

In general, the scalability of Aruba Wireless needs some improvement. The product needs to be more flexible in terms of scalability.

I would rate the technical support for Aruba Wireless as five out of five. It's quite impressive, though it's not perfect.

I compared Aruba Wireless with other solutions, and I found it to be a complete product. It's ahead of the competition, so I chose to work with it.

The initial setup for Aruba Wireless is straightforward. There's nothing complex about it.

The price of Aruba Wireless is higher than other products, but you'll get stability, performance, and functionality out of it.

On a scale of one to five, I'm rating the price of Aruba Wireless a three.

I'm working with Aruba Wireless.

My company has a partnership with Aruba.

My company is a technology provider, so it's not an enterprise user of Aruba Wireless.

I have experience with both the on-premise and cloud versions of the product.

I would recommend Aruba Wireless for enterprise customers. The product applies to multiple verticals.

Overall, my rating for Aruba Wireless is eight out of ten, and it's a product that I would recommend to others.

We operate in the education sector and we use it for our staff and students to access our cloud-based application. This includes our learning management system, Canvas and a few systems. We also use it for our guests on site.

This is the second time I've implemented and installed this solution and I think it is outstanding. The support is excellent and so is the hardware. We don't need much support because nothing really goes wrong.

We have been using this solution for 10 years.

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. We have 3,500 users in our organisation supported by Aruba. 

The customer service and support for this solution is excellent. 

Positive

We previously used Cisco. We were contacted by Aruba and had some fantastic demonstrations from them. We talked to other schools that had already implemented the solution. We looked at Gartner reports and where they sat in terms of their support, their product and their reputation in the market. We did extensive research on Aruba before switching.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

We did enlist the help of network consultants to complete the setup for us. Three consultants were involved in the deployment and it took three days. 

What I really like about the company is they stay in touch with us and let us know what their roadmap is and what developments are coming. They are not just a company that sells you their solution and then disappears.

Aruba is a sound business investment because we hardly ever experience any issues. On one occasion when we had a failure, their support team helped us immediately.

I would rate this solution a ten out of ten.

We have many customers in the retail business using Aruba Wireless for their network.

The main features of the Aruba Wireless are universal and effective, covering most uses, a lifetime hardware warranty that sets it apart from the competition and it integrates seamlessly with the network access control solution - Aruba Clearpass

The GUI dashboards should more user-friendly.

I have been using Aruba Wireless for approximately four years.

I found the Aruba Wireless to be a stable solution. It is more stable than competitors especially in roaming.

The solution is scalable and stable 

We have opened a support ticket with technical assistance and I would rate the support from Aruba Wireless a four out of five when comparing it to Cisco or Juniper.

Positive

I have used Juniper and Cisco networking products previously.

The initial setup was simple to do.

My advice to others that want to implement Aruba Wireless is they have to study the solution and have a good understanding. Aruba has a good academy for studying.

I rate Aruba Wireless a nine out of ten.

It's simple to use.

The reliability could be improved.

I have been using this solution for five years.

The stability could be improved. 

The solution is scalable.

One a scale of one to five, I would give their technical support a two. It could be better.

Setup is straightforward.

I would rate this solution 7 out of 10. 

My advice is that if you don't have experience, you should find a partner for support rather than rely on the company.

The product can be used in all verticals. There are different kinds of use cases. Mostly, it is used in corporate settings, however, we also use solutions for distribution centers, et cetera.

We sell the solution and we do due to the fact that we think it's the best solution overall. We usually are researching other solutions also, as you have to know what you're competing against. That said, we've never been disappointed by its capabilities.

Overall, it's a very strong solution.

The solution is stable.

The scalability is great. 

The pricing could always be better.

Technical support needs work. It's hard to reach the right people you need to help you when you come face to face with issues. 

I can't say that they are missing any features at this time. There's nothing I can think of needing in the next release. 

We have been Aruba's partner for the last 16 years.

The stability is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very reliable. 

We've found the solution to be scalable. If a company needs to expand it, it can do so easily.

Technical support needs to be more responsive. It takes time to get to the proper person when you need help. The solution itself is better than the support on offer.

For us, it's easy to set up. I don't know if this is the case for everyone, but for us, it's easy. We have people that are certified in solutions, including Aruba. We know how to handle implementations quite effectively.

The time it takes for the deployment depends on the size, however, usually, the process is one to two weeks.

As integrators, we can implement this product for our clients. 

We'd like Aruba to lower the cost of using the solution. 

While we really like Aruba, we usually are researching other solutions also, as you have to know what you're competing against.

We sell wireless solutions. We are integrators. We also use the solution. We deal with multiple deployment versions.

If a company would like to add Aruba to their organization, they should first get a knowledgeable system integrator that knows the solution. If they do, the deployment will go well and they will be okay.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten overall.

In this University, Wi-Fi is essential to the daily operations, from teaching, learning by staff and students to research by researchers. In recent two years, it contributes to our smart campus objectives, bridging IoT devices in multiple projects. 

With the powerful feature in ClearPass, AirWave, MM and other subsystems, this centrally managed Wi-Fi solution offers the University members and guests a unified user experience, enabling IT staff to administer all component, particularly in search of a technical issue. 

The ClearPass admin console provides an easy operating interface for checking every user's authentication steps, which is pretty useful to identify the root cause of an authentication issue. Also, the self-service portal allows end-users to manage their registered devices. 

Perhaps Aruba should publish some best practices for deploying its solution in different industries. 

Aruba Wi-Fi solution has been a good partner in my University since 2017.

A very powerful Wi-Fi system.

They provide very efficient support.

Aruba solution is not cheap.
