What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Aruba Instant?

At the end of the day, that is obviously a big thing in the industry where, for some people, price is a concern. That's where you have Aruba Instant On, but there are different factors to consider with certain things. So, it is a little bit more on the pricey side. But in terms of what you're getting, I personally would rather pay that little bit more and get what I need because I know what I'm getting, as opposed to going for something cheaper that's not as manageable and doesn't give as much. So I'm one hundred percent satisfied with this tool.

I would rate the pricing a six out of ten.

I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten. The product is competitively priced with other OEM solutions.

The tool's pricing is neither cheap nor expensive.

Aruba is a little bit costlier than Cambium Networks. The product is costly since I have to purchase the hardware and the warranties separately. I need to pay the license cost to Aruba Central if I want to be able to manage the product. Aruba Central keeps increasing the prices. I purchased the license for five years. Two years ago, I paid INR 12,000 for Aruba Central AP Foundation, but now, I will have to pay double the amount, which comes up to INR 24,000, making it a costly product. The product's partners are not very supportive of the pricing part of the tool.

The product has increased its pricing by at least 30 percent.

I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

I rate the product’s pricing a two out of ten.

The product is reasonably priced.

Aruba Instant is affordable.

There’s no licensing required to use the tool. We have to renew the maintenance agreement, though.

The solution's pricing is reasonable.

The pricing is good. If you buy an IAP and later decide to switch to a controller solution, you don't have to discard your existing access points. You can simply convert them and pay for the licensing. It's a convenient option they offer. However, the first generation, they weren't as flexible. So, they have become more flexible.

In my region right now, Aruba Instant comes with a default two-year cloud access license. From the third year, we have to renew the solution.

Aruba Instant is slightly cheaper than other solutions in the same category.

The pricing is reasonable. I'd rate it seven out of ten. Whether it is affordable to other people depends on who is buying it and what they need it to do. It's not like TP-Link or something like that. There are a bit more features. There are also other solutions that are cheaper than this, however, they may not work the same. There are no additional costs. We pay just one price for the device itself. I'm not sure of the exact price. It might have been around $100.

The price is okay. However, it depends on the project. If you have a big project, you can get a good price. Also, you have lifetime support from Aruba, which is great. That can save a lot of money over time.

In terms of costs, Aruba Instant is cheap because it doesn't require a license, but you'll incur charges for the access points. Access point charges could be more affordable.

I'm located in Palestine. I bought it from another person who got it from the main distributor and got it to me. This is how it works. While it depends on the model, compared to other products, it's fairly priced. I'm not sure about pricing worldwide since it could be different. However, it's one of the cheapest solutions here or the more affordable solution. Fortinet is much more expensive, and Unify is even more expensive. If you look at the package as a whole, you're much better off with Aruba. As a business, you always need discounts and cheaper products. If it got even lower, they would get more market share. We pay about $300 per access point. Fortinet is about $500. It's a one-time fee.

The setup cost varies based on each organization's requirements but it is within reason.

It's not easy for me to talk about the cost since I am a technician. I'd rate it a two out of five in terms of affordability. It's more on the expensive side. There might be some extra costs involved depending on the infrastructure.

It's a one time cost, including the upgrades, but you have to pay on a yearly basis if you want support. The price is in the middle in comparison to that of competitors' products.

The cost was affordable.

It is not expensive. Its price is fair. You get many features with the normal licensing. If I look at Cisco, it is very expensive if I need similar things.

The licensing cost is somewhere around $20,000.

The price is very well situated.

The price is fairly reasonable. It may be a bit expensive for some companies, but for us, it's worth every penny.

I recommend Aruba Instant because it's cheaper for licensing and it's simple for implementation. It's all in the Instant version.

I purchased the hardware and there are no monthly or yearly licenses to buy.

We only pay for the support and the contract licenses from Aruba Instant.
