Fortinet FortiWLM and Aruba Instant On Access Points compete in the wireless market. Aruba appears to have an edge due to its ease of deployment and advanced features, making it more appealing for many users.
Features: Fortinet FortiWLM offers a comprehensive security fabric with seamless integration with other Fortinet products. Its centralized management and scalable options reduce manual intervention across extensive networks. Aruba Instant On Access Points are easy to manage and deploy, with robust mobile management and advanced antenna technology enhancing user experience.
Room for Improvement: Fortinet FortiWLM could improve reporting and support for smaller clients and enhance centralized management to showcase advanced technologies like Virtual Cell. Aruba Instant On Access Points should improve range and documentation, with a more flexible pricing model for additional features.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Fortinet FortiWLM provides exceptional customer service and suits enterprises with local infrastructure needs due to its on-premises deployment. Aruba Instant On Access Points offer cloud-based deployment but have average tech support, although deployment is straightforward for both products.
Pricing and ROI: Fortinet FortiWLM offers reasonable pricing but faces criticism over certain practices like RMA fees, though it integrates security and management well. Aruba Instant On Access Points are license-free and offer clear pricing, ensuring a quick ROI as all necessary features are included in the base price.
