User-friendly and offers valuable feature for tracking traffic flow, providing insights into latency and exact paths from source to destination
In future releases, I would like to see security features, so Aruba might need some firewalls, like other vendors. For example, Fortinet gives the same feature, but it's gives the feature, that we can use the firewall as well. But, inside the Aruba, I didn't see this feature, secure device, I didn't see the feature. Although it's secure, we established a secure tunnel between all the branches, but still, Aruba might need some security features to be enhanced inside this product. It might be that Aruba doesn't need that one. But the vendor, if they are giving some extra security feature availability, they also give that feature.
