The solution has multi-vendor support, and it can be used for network management

Aruba Airwave is an on-prem solution, so you have to manage it with your servers to be deployed. You can also deploy it on the cloud if you have your own private cloud. All the configuration guides and the different types of designs you need are available from Aruba Airwave's portal. I would recommend Aruba Airwave to other users. Overall, I rate Aruba Airwave ten out of ten.

Reduces the number of trouble tickets and is easy to deploy and troubleshoot

Deployment is straightforward and quick. This solution uses templates that simplify configuring for many devices simultaneously. If some network devices miscontribute or have a problem in configuration, I can solve this problem without an administrator. It collects many parameters from each device, and after that, we can get good reports about working equipment and the network. With this installation process, you must first prepare configuration templates in the cloud. After that, you can easily add new devices without further configuration. Once the devices connect to the cloud, they automatically receive the configuration. It doesn't take more than one hour, depending on the network. I rate the initial setup a ten out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"This solution is definitely stable."

"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten."

"What I like best about Aruba Airwave is its orchestration feature because it saves configuration time. I also like that it allows you to do ZTP installations for new Aruba equipment."

"This solution gives you a lot of reporting capabilities, and it has a very good interface."

"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."

"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."

"The technical support services are good."

"It contains valuable features for engineers to C-level executives, who want visibility, performance, statistics, and a platform which can take action for them without manual intervention, saving time and money."

More Aruba Airwave pros

"The customer chose this solution because it helped reduce the number of trouble tickets. It’s easy to deploy and troubleshoot, as the solution uses AI to identify root issues."

"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is zero-touch provisioning for query edge switches. You can connect the switch directly to your edge locations and then directly onboard, similar to the Cisco Meraki solutions."

"The product greatly improved our organization in terms of making configuration, deployment, and firmware upgrades easy for multiple automated devices."

Cons

"More devices or vendors should be onboarded to Aruba Airwave."

"I want a management solution to manage and monitor everything from a single dashboard. This is not there with Airwave."

"The tool's expensive nature is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"Cost is always a big issue for partners."

"I would like to see is “AAS”. Not only Aruba APs with central, but NAC/ClearPass, AirWave, and everything licensed as a Service."

"We're looking for more device compatibility. Like compatibility with third-party devices."

"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."

"The solution’s pricing could be improved."

More Aruba Airwave cons

"The configuration aspect of the solutions is relatively new, but I have had positive experiences. However, for more advanced tasks, such as VXLANs on the EX platform, Juniper Mist Wired Assurance may not be the best option due to certain limitations. Nonetheless, it does have a CLI override feature for specialized configurations that cannot be done through the GUI."

"The platform’s monitoring tool is not up to the mark. It is not proactive enough and lacks some capabilities. Additionally, they should work on providing integration with other vendors."

"This cloud solution is built on microservices, and Juniper continuously adds new ones to enhance performance or introduce additional services."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product is not expensive."

"We must buy a new license to connect more devices to scale up the solution."

"Run a 90 day free Proof of Concept (PoC) for each product by implementing and using it fully in your environment. This way you will be educated on its features, functionality, and manageability."

"AirWave is a very expensive solution. If you implement it in a wide range network, it will cost a lot. There is no option to sell it outside that price segment, which is a problem."

"The cost is perfect because the devices have a lifetime warranty, and the licensing is good as well."

"Licensing and pricing are extremely straightforward."

"I rate the product’s pricing a five out of ten."

"Aruba Airwave is an expensive solution."
