We performed a comparison between Aruba Airwave and DX Spectrum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Management Applications solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's scalable because it's licensed per device and we bought licenses with each device. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability."
"It can interact with other vendors better than Cisco, which is a good point of AirWave. It is easy to use, and its reporting is good."
"AirWave definitely helps us troubleshoot and get to the root cause of the issues. It gives you an excellent indication of what's going on within your network at different locations. You can get to the area, take a look at the AirWave analysis, and make informed decisions."
"Aruba Airwave provides a robust solution for monitoring and configuring Wi-Fi networks."
"It has improved my organization by increasing troubleshooting opportunities which makes things more efficient."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Airwave is the multivendor support, which enables you to manage and monitor different vendors or products."
"The technical support services are good."
"This solution is definitely stable."
"The most valuable feature is the event correlation mechanism."
"It is easy to navigate."
"The fault management is perfect."
"It does correlation so instead of producing 20 alarms if a site goes down, it only creates one."
"The containerization of different objects was very helpful in building an org structure. Being able to separately manage your MSP clients with separate visibility was also helpful."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"The tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"The product’s stability and robustness are valuable."
"Its pricing and support could be improved."
"I would try to integrate more products from different vendors in future releases. Because that's really good features that Aruba Airway has, but it's so limited."
"The integration with other platforms like Cisco needs to be improved."
"The overall monitoring of this solution could be improved."
"Whenever you get an error it doesn't immediately tell you what the thing is that is causing the error. You have to sit down and research it. If it could say what error is causing the issue, it would make my troubleshooting a lot quicker."
"I would like to see is “AAS”. Not only Aruba APs with central, but NAC/ClearPass, AirWave, and everything licensed as a Service."
"More devices or vendors should be onboarded to Aruba Airwave."
"They should make it cheaper. By doing that, they can replace Cisco, which is also very expensive. If it is equivalent to Cisco in the features, with a reduced price, they can sell it more than Cisco."
"If they could interact with the MIBs of vendors better, and have a lot more pre-loaded ones, that would be amazing for us right now."
"For my use case, incident coordination was an area of improvement. The internal software engine for coordinating outages could use improvement because sometimes, we used to get false alerts for unrelated devices. They did a really good job of trying to make sure that you got one major alert and any of the subsequent devices downstream were just additions to that, but occasionally, the engine wouldn't properly catch the right things, and we used to get a flood of alerts."
"We have a lot of different monitoring tools in the background, so orchestration has been a little bit of a challenge."
"The Spectrum OneClick is a Java-based client, and that's aging. Really, before any new feature integration, I'd love to see a comprehensive rebuild of the UI."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"Needs better integration with all the other products in the Agile suite of tools; anything they could do to make that less complex, would be great."
"Technical support for this product is not so good. It needs improvement."
"DX Spectrum could be improved by them getting rid of the Java console. It would also be better with Turkish language support."
