"The product's machine or equipment can cater to around 20 connections and cannot go beyond 50 simultaneous connections, because of which I think the tool's scalability is limited."
"The tool's pricing is not good."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the validation process, especially for customers facing compliance issues when managing access points from the cloud. It would be beneficial if the access points could also be managed from an on-premises controller. Regarding additional features, customers express interest in enhancing the controller, specifically improving the capability to manage a higher number of access points from the same controller. This feature is crucial for better scalability. Another feature that customers would appreciate is the ability to increase the number of access points. However, the current process for obtaining this permission can be time-consuming, and customers would like to see improvements in this regard."
"If there's a way to get a floor map of our office space so we can place the access points on a map to be able to see what's what, where everything is going, where the most traffic is being connected, that would be a nice feature."
"When there are a lot of people connected, especially during video streaming demonstrations, the connection can get a bit choppy."
"It is suitable for smaller organizations, but it may not be the best choice for large enterprises."
"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
"Aruba doesn't match some competitors in wireless signal strength. It isn't in the same class as Cisco Meraki, so I would use Cisco Meraki in situations where I need to cover a large open space. Meraki has more powerful signals going out."
"To enhance the system, more work on integration would be beneficial."
"I would have liked to see more manufacturer driven events and outings to drive brand recognition and familiarity."
"If you want a centralized management system that is able to manage all your networking devices such as the wireless, the switch, the routers, and the firewall, then Aruba may not be the one, because Aruba doesn't do firewalls."
"The network times for protocol synchronization can be improved."
"Aruba needs to be more competitive with newer products. Their legacy makes that more difficult for them."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to be able to customize Captive Portals."
