"The most valuable features of Aruba Instant are management and performance."
"You can handle all of the access points at once virtually instead of manually handling each one. You're able to populate all of the information to all of the access points through the virtual controller as well. It transforms everything it a single access point, which simplifies things."
"The most valuable feature is that it provides a redundant wireless connection for a client."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Instant is its cloud capability, which allows us to manage it through the cloud."

"The solution is easily managed compared to other wireless solutions."
"It can scale."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"Installation is easy."
"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."

"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"For on-premises, I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. For on-prem, if I want to integrate two more controls, and I want to extend my network , and add a couple of access points that need to be integrated with my network, I have to do the configurations and all. So that will be each and every time, as and when the users expand, the Wi-Fi solution expands; I need to do the configuration settings on all other controllers."
"Aruba Instant's visibility, firewalling, L3 functionality, and DHCP services could all be improved."
"My biggest problem with Aruba Instant was the DHCP implementation. The DHCP server needs to ping an IP address to connect to the internet. In some cases, we don't have a DHCP server in the network, and it was really a problem."
"The product’s GUI must be improved."
"The tool needs to enhance its security features."
"It would be better if Aruba Instant could provide more security for customers."
"The product can be improved by adding a clear interface."
"I believe there's room for improvement in monitoring, especially when troubleshooting issues. Currently, there's limited intelligence around monitoring. It needs to improve stability and scalability."
"Cloud integration needs to be improved."
"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."
"The manageability could be improved."
"The stability could be improved."
"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."
"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive."
"The speed could be a bit better."
"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."
