"The support offered by Aruba is slow."
"Aruba Instant should not have a limit on users for future releases."

"The solution should be able to support more users on the access points."
"The restart time should be improved."
"Switching devices requires reconfiguration from scratch."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."

"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."

"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
