We performed a comparison between Aruba Networks Wireless WAN and Ubiquiti Wireless based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Wireless WAN solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is reliability."
"An engineer with enough experience can tune the network however they want. It's crucial. It's good to customize our information security how we like it and configure the solution to achieve the level of stability we need."
"I believe their Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) in its current form provides the best automated management of transmit power and channel. It does a really good job of managing proper design and wireless environment."
"Its most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"Aruba Wireless's best feature is that it's very, very robust."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"It works well. It is reliable."
"Aruba Central seems to be a good way to go in cloud management. However, compared to Cisco Meraki, it's still very early days."
"I like the fact that you can set it up like a wireless connection. Previously, we used to connect from one SSID to another. When we started using Ubiquiti, everyone was so happy because even if they moved from one place or another, say from the pantry to a meeting room, they didn't need to connect manually to another SSID. This is one of the features that I really like about it. It is doing a great job. It offers a free controller that you can use to see if the devices are connected or not and if they are up or down."
"Their hardware is very good."
"I like the simplicity, the ease of use."
"Ubiquiti Wireless is extremely easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of setup."
"Very simple, very basic setup for Ubiquiti Wireless. Its performance in a home or small business setting with fewer access points is fantastic."
"The UniFi Controller Software provides excellent statistical and monitoring facilities."
"I have found the most valuable features to be the ability to use the main centralized administration process and the internet."
"The only issues are the configuration problems that impact the stability of the solution."
"The price for the license could be a bit improved since it is the only area with an issue."
"When it comes to configuring rules for file security tests, any issues that arise can be referred to as "glitches". Despite the extensive configurations required, the process itself is not overly complicated."
"Aruba Networks Wireless WAN could improve the solution availability. The selection of mounting hardware for the various radios is limited and poor. Often, you have to create and manufacture your own mounting hardware in certain situations."
"Aruba's technical support has room for improvement."
"It is a little bit cumbersome to configure. If you're designing a WLAN and you want to do and cover certain types of clients, you really have to know different settings and how they interact with one another. If they could automate that so that if you are designing for one type of equipment, you could, in essence, run a wizard. That would certainly save on a lot of calls to tech support."
"They have to work on their Aruba Central cloud platform. There are still some glitches such as not showing proper user details. When we removed the AP from the Aruba Central cloud, it showed up as being connected to Aruba Central. They need to fix these issues."
"The solution has bugs. It really has bugs, and you have to wait until it happens, then you realize it."
"I would prefer if the solution offered more integration capabilities."
"Ubiquiti Wireless could improve by being more user-friendly and easy to use."
"The mesh configuration and WiFi 6 coverage should be improved."
"I would like local support from the parent company."
"Ubiquiti could develop a more elaborate firewall solution. Their firewall solutions at the moment are entry-level. Maybe they don't want to bring those products in because many people prefer putting a third-party firewall into a solution like that. We usually do."
"It's hard to get stuff delivered on time."
"We need an official distributor in Egypt as we don't have one right now."
"There isn't any technical support."
