It fixes so many problems quickly that we don't regret spending more on high-end tools than most companies
It would be nice to have some more training resources for younger techs. We can use them if we need some assistance, but that usually requires one of us who knows what we're doing to calibrate the programs properly. There's one thing our nXG handhelds do that AirMagnet doesn't do out of the box. The nXG devices can analyze the wired and wireless networks simultaneously and map the networks out. We find it handy. However, if I have that plugged into our older OptiView XG tablets or our laptops, I have no way to analyze both the WiFi and the wired network at the same time and build a single picture with all that data. So far, that's something only our nXG handhelds can do. It would be nice if there were a way to integrate all the network discovery, troubleshooting, and mapping of the WiFi and the wired at the same time. There are almost no products that do that currently. If they managed to do that, they'd probably open up their market pretty quickly.

A stable solution that gives wireless network coverage to users without connecting PCs or laptops to the network
Aruba Wireless can be deployed on both cloud and on-premises. Aruba Wireless is a good solution for customers who are looking for a multi-tenancy setup and want to segregate their guest traffic from their employees' traffic. Aruba Wireless is a more secure setup. Overall, I rate Aruba Wireless ten out of ten.
