"It's stable and reliable."
"We don't know this product very well yet, but what we have used so far and what we like are user control, bandwidth, and access."
"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 like the solution's ability to add multiple SSIDs on different levels such as enterprise and guest networks."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the streaming of screen sharing."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is centralized management capability. You don't have to have wireless LAN controllers at every location."
"The initial setup is easy to handle. It's quite simple."
"It is highly scalable. I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable features of Cambium Networks Wireless WAN are cloud management and links."

"It is easy to deploy and has many specialists to help us handle complicated processes."
"The most valuable features for network performance in the solution are reliability and centralized management through a single controller."
"It excels in challenging environments and adverse weather conditions, maintaining high performance without any impact on the link quality."
"Its technical support service could be better."
"We do not have direct access to Aruba’s Mesh portal."
"The only issues are the configuration problems that impact the stability of the solution."
"What needs to improve in Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is the support because it takes quite a long time for the support team to resolve issues. Whenever a new version or update is released, my company sees many bugs and issues, so that is another area for improvement as well."
"The issue is that we are unable to update it because we lack the necessary permissions. We set up the website, but we don't have permission to download the software."
"The initial setup has a lot of options, which makes it very versatile yet very complicated to install. There should be two modes: a basic mode and then a more advanced mode to help make implementation easier. Most of the time, if it's a small installation, you don't need the complexity. You shouldn't need higher expertise in order to install a couple of access points in a single place."
"It works. We don't look at it any deeper than that and don't find any features ar missing."
"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."
"If someone wants to go to the location-based portal of the product, like the one available in Meraki, it would not be possible, and it is an area that needs improvement."
"The range of the product is disappointing so far."
"Pricing tends to be higher than its competitors."
"I think this product could be improved if It were SMS based. If I have a visitor in my office, I'd like to be able to send them the wireless password as a message via SMS, so I don't have to give it out."
"There is room for improvement in the support."
"The solution needs to add an LTE solution and/or something in 3.5GHz."
"It has voucher generation. These vouchers are provided to the customers. It would be great if there is a possibility to integrate these vouchers with the system that vendors use to print the receipts. For example, if you go to Starbucks, they provide you a receipt, and in that receipt, you have the code for the Wi-Fi network. I would like some kind of integration or API that can be integrated into any other system for generating such receipts. It would be a really nice feature. It has the cnMaestro portal that normally an integrator sets up. When you deploy this solution to a user, rather than generating a Cambium account, I would like to share this console with the users so that they can at least see the stability of the network and not necessarily trust what I said. It also allows the customers in visualizing the way that they are connecting and the way the network is behaving. I have been in touch with the Cambium team for these features, but they don't yet have the final answer. It is kind of hard to get these solutions immediately. It is a bit challenging to bring these devices to Lima, Peru, or to get Cambium from the distributors. They need to import these devices."
"The installation and configuration are a bit complex."
