Reasonably priced and offers a good GUI
The product is very scalable. When it comes to some schools, they start with the solution's proof of concept in certain sections. My company aims to improve the throughputs in the schools where the product is installed. If the rest of the School wants the product, it is easy to set up the solution. My company uses Aruba Networks Wireless WAN for schools and warehouses but not in the retail sector. The product offers reliability and uptime twenty-four hours and seven days a week. My company gets notified if the reliability offered by the product goes down. My company also gets notified if we are getting hacked.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is less expensive than Ruckus and Cisco."
"It is more affordable than Cisco."
"The product's price is within range since it has a lower price."
"I rate the product's price an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest ,and ten is the highest."
"I rate the pricing a seven or eight on a scale of one to ten, where ten is the highest and one is the cheapest."
"Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is pretty cost-efficient than Cisco ISE when my company did a PO, but for a single-party tender, its pricing was on the higher side, so it depends. I rate the pricing for Aruba Networks Wireless WAN as six out of ten."
"The price of this solution is better than some other vendors."
"That's really subject to the type of environment you're deploying. If you're doing a full controller model with 200 APs, the initial deployment could be 150 grand. Maintaining that or maintaining support for that per year could be something like 10 to 15 grand per year. In the cloud sense, the cloud is by the number of APs. So, everything is readily available."
"We have been satisfied with the price."
"If you are concerned with your budget, then you can go for the cheaper model."
"Price wise, it is on the medium end of the scale. It could be lower."
"There is a license for this solution and the license is normally paid annually but this depends on the contract."
