Find out in this report how the two LAN Switching solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool's best part is the commercials. Its pricing is lower compared to other enterprise products. We pitch the product to customers who have budget constraints. Its implementation is plug-and-play."
"The dashboard for clients is very nice."
"The initial setup is simple."
"The stability is fine. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. Almost a ten on a ten."
"Setup is easy."
"It is straightforward to set up."
"The solution is plug-and-play and auto-configured."
"The cost and simplicity of the product are its most valuable features."
"For a customer, it is easy to configure and to add ports through the LAN the GUI."
"Port density and port speed performance are both suitable. It has some appealing intangibles."
"They could provide additional uplink ports, such as eight instead of four. It will be beneficial for our use case."
"The product must be integrated with Aruba Central for better management."
"Its scalability needs improvement."
"We are interested in acquiring a firewall that provides a comprehensive solution. In other words, we're seeking a firewall that encompasses multiple aspects, such as exceptional switches and active phone functionalities."
"It is not a very scalable solution."
"You cannot use many VLANs, like VLAN 10, VLAN 20, VLAN 30, and VLAN 100 on Aruba Instant On AP."
"The solution does not have any console access. For example, if you do not have internet access on your side and you need to configure anything, you should at least have CLI access to do something or manage the solution to put to some IP. It will only work if we have a TSCT on the network."
"The support needs improvement."
"Customers do not prefer this to connect to multiple cities."
"Instead of competing at the enterprise level with that product, they should probably scale it. With all of the ports, they should develop a good mid-level business to truly scale it and gain adoption before attempting to go after the enterprise."
