Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I would rate the stability a nine out of ten.""The solution's initial setup process is straightforward.""The most valuable features are the error log and intrusion log. It also provides an overview of your assets. It gives a good database for wireless coverage.""It has improved my organization by increasing troubleshooting opportunities which makes things more efficient.""The most valuable feature of Aruba Airwave is the multivendor support, which enables you to manage and monitor different vendors or products.""It's scalable because it's licensed per device and we bought licenses with each device. I would rate it a nine out of ten for scalability.""What I like best about Aruba Airwave is its orchestration feature because it saves configuration time. I also like that it allows you to do ZTP installations for new Aruba equipment.""The Clarity feature makes it easy to use and understand what is going on with your network in a nice dashboard.​"

"The most valuable feature of Juniper Mist Wired Assurance is zero-touch provisioning for query edge switches. You can connect the switch directly to your edge locations and then directly onboard, similar to the Cisco Meraki solutions.""The product greatly improved our organization in terms of making configuration, deployment, and firmware upgrades easy for multiple automated devices."

Cons
"Pricing for Aruba Airwave could be cheaper, which is an area for improvement in the solution.""They should make it cheaper. By doing that, they can replace Cisco, which is also very expensive. If it is equivalent to Cisco in the features, with a reduced price, they can sell it more than Cisco.""The overall monitoring of this solution could be improved.""We sometimes have problems with troubleshooting between the GUI and the CLI manipulation.""I would try to integrate more products from different vendors in future releases. Because that's really good features that Aruba Airway has, but it's so limited.""More devices or vendors should be onboarded to Aruba Airwave.""I want a management solution to manage and monitor everything from a single dashboard. This is not there with Airwave.""Its pricing and support could be improved."

More Aruba Airwave Cons →

"The platform’s monitoring tool is not up to the mark. It is not proactive enough and lacks some capabilities. Additionally, they should work on providing integration with other vendors.""The configuration aspect of the solutions is relatively new, but I have had positive experiences. However, for more advanced tasks, such as VXLANs on the EX platform, Juniper Mist Wired Assurance may not be the best option due to certain limitations. Nonetheless, it does have a CLI override feature for specialized configurations that cannot be done through the GUI."

Pricing and Cost Advice

  • "Run a 90 day free Proof of Concept (PoC) for each product by implementing and using it fully in your environment. This way you will be educated on its features, functionality, and manageability."
  • "The cost is perfect because the devices have a lifetime warranty, and the licensing is good as well."
  • "This product is not expensive."
  • "AirWave is a very expensive solution. If you implement it in a wide range network, it will cost a lot. There is no option to sell it outside that price segment, which is a problem."
  • "The licensing cost for Aruba Airwave increased from $72 to $210 within a few months. It would be better if the pricing for the solution were cheaper."
