The most impactful feature for enhancing network reliability in Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is its exceptional throughput capability, reaching up to 1.3 gigabits per second. It has an easy-to-understand interface compared to other products. It offers many features for seamless configuration and backup processes. I rate it a nine out of ten.

The product has facilitated connectivity in remote locations in a great manner since our company needs to install the solution, set it up, and configure it, after which we use Aruba Central to monitor areas like wireless input/output and throughputs. Speaking about the IoT applications deployed using Aruba Networks Wireless WAN, I would say that the product is majorly used in schools for Google Pixel Tablets and TVs. My company uses WPA3 for network security. The GUI offered by the product is good. There is no need to do any maintenance on the product in my company, but we can opt for hot swap methods if something goes down in the solution, allowing us to pull it out from our system so that we can send it for repairs. I recommend the product to use since it is a solution that is easy to use. I rate the tool a ten out of ten.
Aruba has a very good reputation. Aruba products are very stable, and they give regular updates. Whatever Aruba has mentioned in their literature, regarding their bandwidth, etcetera, is correct. One can rely on what they write in their literature. I would definitely recommend the solution to those planning to use it. In the Wi-Fi space, Aruba is an extremely good product. For Aruba's software and hardware, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

From the performance perspective, I'm happy with the solution. Also, from the technical side, it seems to be pretty good. Considering the market in India, there are a lot of other options from which others can buy other than Aruba. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.
The maintenance of the solution is not difficult, I have been doing it for a long time. Aruba's controller is an integrated system, whereas Cisco has separate devices and services that are not too integrated. Ruckus also has separate devices and services. When customers buy Cisco or Ruckus devices, they are buying all the devices together to get the best service. However, after the sale, nobody calls for support or assistance. In the case of Aruba, if the controller goes down, the access points can be converted to a version of the software that allows them to work with a virtual controller. However, there are physical issues with Aruba, such as confusion with the access point bracket and console cable. Even if there are multiple console types, it would be fine as long as they are provided in the box. I prefer Ruckus solutions, but it is expensive for customers. I rate Aruba Networks Wireless WAN a seven out of ten.

I have experience with Aruba Networks Wireless WAN. My company has a 7200 series Aruba controller, almost five hundred access points, and Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager. My company's existing database is deployed on-premises, including the controller, access point, and the Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager. A team of five people, including myself, deployed Aruba Networks Wireless WAN. It was a process of putting and mounting access points. I also had two members in charge of configuring the switches while I configured the controller and the Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager. Once access points become visible on the controller, my team will proceed to the template configuration deployment for Aruba Networks Wireless WAN. The deployment team consisted of five L1s, three L2s, and me, so a total of nine. My unit deployed five hundred access points to six thousand end users. My team of eight takes care of administration. Aruba Networks Wireless WAN requires maintenance, for example, upgrading the controller or the Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and then posture agent deployment for six thousand users. Any agent upgrade means deployment for the users as well. I'd tell anyone looking into implementing Aruba Networks Wireless WAN that it's a good solution with many advantages, such as mobility, flexibility, and scalability, so I suggest using Aruba Networks Wireless WAN to enhance user experience. My rating for Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is seven out of ten. My role is similar to an integrator of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN. My company is an Aruba Networks customer.

More than ten thousand people, particularly enterprise users, use Aruba Networks Wireless WAN. Two to three people handle the deployment and maintenance of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN. What I'd say to others looking into implementing Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is that it has scalability issues and its support needs improvement. It has many open bugs that could stop you from moving forward. I'm rating Aruba Networks Wireless WAN seven out of ten. My company has a partnership with Aruba, but it's not a reseller.
I'd recommend anybody looking at implementing Aruba Wireless to go for it - it's a really, very good product. I'd rate Aruba Wireless eight out of ten.

I rate Aruba Networks Wireless WAN nine out of 10. It's a stable solution with advanced technical capabilities. We never need to worry if it's going to work. Like any professional solution, you need to do some evaluation before implementing it in a project. The customer must fully understand the project requirements before they buy and implement it.
We use different versions of Aruba. We are Aruba partners. As a partner, of course, I will try to encourage other people to look at Aruba and implement Aruba. Some of the features are not unique however they are very highly developed, and the solution is highly sophisticated. It's the best of its breed. As a partner with different vendors, however, you have to look at the requirements, and you have to make a decision on the requirements. I’d rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I only have experience with the controller-less environment, which is Aruba Central. When I do searches on Google, most of the information regarding that is for a controller-based or controller-less. I think Aruba Central is a newer way of deploying this solution, so because of that, there seems to be less information for it. I would probably recommend talking to your representatives in order to get as much information about Aruba Central as you can before investing in it. If you can use a controller, it could be better or easier to find out information and learn how to configure it. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Aruba Central a rating of eight. If they improved their documentation and the other issues I mentioned, then I would give it a rating of ten.

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Aruba Network Wireless as an eight. It is not a ten. Nothing can be a ten out of ten or it would have to be the best product or the only product providing a service.

Approach HPE for Aruba. Also, stick with a technical team of consultants to design it and then go the market with a solution from HPE and get the value added reseller to do the necessary work. I would rate Aruba at nine out of 10. There are always things that can be improved. But generally, out of the whole portfolio of solutions, Aruba stands out very much.
