"The main challenge we've faced with Aruba Airwave is its high cost, especially regarding high availability and failover licenses, which can be relatively expensive for customers. As for recommendations for improvement, considering that Aruba is planning to retire Airwave soon and introduce a new solution, it's crucial that the new product meets or exceeds the current Airwave's feature set. Customers expect a seamless transition without losing any functionality, so Aruba needs to ensure that the new solution is ready with all the essential features and capabilities from day one to avoid any gaps or dissatisfaction among users and partners."

"Cost is always a big issue for partners."

"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."

"Its pricing and support could be improved."

"We sometimes have problems with troubleshooting between the GUI and the CLI manipulation."

"This product is not expensive."

"Aruba Airwave's licensing cost is not that expensive."

"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."

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

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

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