Stable hotel networking enhances return on investment with valuable modular features
There are issues with the distribution side of Aruba Switches. For instance, the distributor in our country cannot sell to neighboring countries, creating complications in project execution. Improving the distribution network across regions would be beneficial. Also, the SFP modules are significantly more expensive than industry peers, which affects cost-effectiveness.

Rock-solid connectivity and WiFi coverage
It's a hardwired solution so our customers do not have to use a mesh network — I really dislike that. It causes too much delay, etc. As with any product, there is always room for improvement. A good router is not cheap. A good switch is not cheap. Let's say somebody develops a new frequency — 7GHz. Well, in that case, you'd need a special router. I have some customers who request Cat7 for their homes. That's way too much. So I'd say, "What are you going to run over here? Let's just run fiber optics. Then the customer will respond, "Well, I read somewhere and other people have told me that if you're going to wire your house, go with Cat7." I'd say, "Sir, you're not going to even utilize Cat5e." I use Cat5e, and believe it or not, I can pump at 10 gigabits per second with Cat5e. The same was true with ePoE — now we have ePoE+. Some switches with ePoE cannot supply as much juice as the modern ePoE+, which requires much more power. The basic switch doesn't have the capacity to deal with that. The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic. It pretty much just covers some basic IP information, defense, and how to change the administrator password — that's pretty much it. I am a dealer, I shouldn't have to contact support for basic answers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

"The ePoE+ is great."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."

Cons

"Aruba's website should be localized to support the Indonesian language. The content of their website and the help desk should be in the Indonesian language."
"I do not have any significant suggestions for improvement from my use."
"A challenge is the process required to reset the switches, which involves using two pins in tiny holes. An easily accessible button for resets would be a better design."
"The biggest issue right now is the delivery timeline. It takes too long to get the product."
"I am forced to consider changing products because other solutions have a better dashboard and a user-friendly interface."
"The licensing model could be improved."
"The customer service could be a bit quicker and the employees could be more professional."
"The templates to automate our switches need improvement."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price point was a big consideration for us and it is reasonable enough that we're able to standardize on Aruba for the networking pieces in our organization."

"Pricing for this product is reasonable."
"Aruba Switches has a lifetime warranty on the solution and after five years the solution will be at its end of life."
"The price of these switches is high."
"Typically it is a $500 to $600 difference in price."
