Michael-Sugg - PeerSpot reviewer
As a managed service provider, it's important to have a solution that can manage everything from one console
There are some growing pains with Aruba Central. When you first launch the wireless access points or switches, a lot of updates are needed to get Aruba Central ready, especially on the access points, so the initial deployment time could improve. I would hope that I could just turn it on and leave the updates until later on. The switches themselves probably did okay. I'm primarily referring to the wireless access points. There was a lot of back and forth before everything was in sync. It took hours. I can't think of any missing features, but it would be nice if there were a free version of Aruba Central for my small business clients that doesn't have as many features.

Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the lifetime warranty."
"Very easy and quick to setup and provide a nice dashboard providing a view of everything."
"The Aruba care support and the lifetime warranty are very valuable aspects."
"With Aruba, I like its stability and lifetime warranty."
"We have not had any issues with the product and its functions. It has been stable."
"These switches have a good performance, and they are also quickly configurable."
"They provide great service in terms of replacing malfunctioning switches."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
 

Cons

"They should provide training courses for certification, and have it available on the internet."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and the dashboard could be improved."
"It's a little less convenient for more simplified management needs."
"Aruba Switches' price could improve, if they were less expensive it would be beneficial."
"There is room for improvement in the customer service and support team."
"We don't have visibility in Aruba Switches and we are thinking of switching to Fortiswitch because it has visibility."
"The solution must improve the switch models."
"This product could be improved with additional security features."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."
"The pricing was still affordable compared to Cisco, which is usually less affordable for most companies. We are using the solution in a school, we need the price to be affordable."
"The license is annual. If you purchase a switch, you get a one-year free subscription."
"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."
"Aruba switches cost between $500 and $600 more than similar products by Huawei, as well as many other brands."
"I don't know the exact cost of the licensing, but based on what I have heard from my sales team, Aruba is affordable. Aruba switches are cheaper than the switches from Cisco and other vendors."
"The price for Aruba is quite a bit cheaper than it is for similar products by Cisco."
"The cost is very cheap when you compare it to CISCO."
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
