Overall, it's a fair pricing and good in terms of cost-effectiveness or ROI.
I managed to support and deploy ExtremeCloud IQ and handle network management without requiring external staffing, thus saving on external hiring costs.
I rate Aruba TAC as a 9 out of 10.
The technical support from Aruba is of high quality, and I would rate it a ten.
GTAC receives a score of ten out of ten.
I experienced effective help mainly remotely, though for some issues, a technical person had to assist on-site.
I find Aruba Instant to be highly scalable.
Aruba is a known name in the market providing sufficient support for all these products.
It requires some time to update, which affects real-time management.
Some features are not listed in the cloud management platform and still require offline access, so enhancing the cloud management features would be better for us.
An important missing feature is the console port, which allows direct management without the cloud.
Improving documentation with more detailed videos and resources would be beneficial.
This integration aids in resolving problems and issues found in the network and enhances support with the GTAC team of Extreme Networks.
We do not sell very expensive devices as we move to other products.
However, when compared to entry-level market segments, the price is higher.
The licensing was a challenge due to budget constraints, and I used ExtremeCloud IQ without a license for a period.
I highly value Aruba Instant for its ClearPass feature, which is an exceptional product for network access control and works as a NAC solution.
Aruba Instant's intrusion detection feature stands for application visibility and includes their latest technology such as Wi-Fi 6E and remote monitoring capability.
The most beneficial features for network management are the price and the cloud console.
For networking and access points, it acts as a controller in a cloud environment, eliminating the need for an appliance controller or wireless LAN controller, thus saving on investment and reducing TCO costs.
The automation and information provided by ExtremeCloud IQ, such as connection status and logs, were very beneficial.
