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."From the performance perspective, I'm happy with the solution. Also, from the technical side, it seems to be pretty good."
"All the features are available, even including the security. The access point enables the matching of any connectivity."
"There is a clustering feature, so the APs immediately switch back to the next available controller. The users will not notice any impact and will feel connected to the network. They will not notice any disconnection."
"The initial setup of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN can be done quickly, and everything functions smoothly."
"It works well. It is reliable."
"It's quite stable."
"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 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."
"Ubiquiti wireless proves especially helpful in scenarios requiring mobility."
"Their hardware is very good."
"Ubiquiti is easier to install than Mikrotik."
"The ease of the setup is one of its most valuable aspects."
"Easy to use and flexible."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"Easy to set up and maintain and simple to configure."
"Having dual-band is important. Having compatibility with very old equipment on certain frequencies, for example on 2.4 and 5.8."
"In the next release, the security should be improved by including support for WPA3."
"From the commercial-side the pricing side is fine but in other aspects, it could be lowered."
"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."
"The product should improve Aruba Central."
"We do not have direct access to Aruba’s Mesh portal."
"This solution needs different models that are more specialized for certain customers."
"Sometimes, the configuration part of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN can be complex, and if you fail to understand the product at once, you may not even know about some features that you can apply to your network, and they may go unused."
"We'd like to have a bit more artificial intelligence incorporated into existing products."
"The mesh configuration and WiFi 6 coverage should be improved."
"The external devices, the outdoor devices, are not so rugged. For example, for the weather that we have here in Florida, it doesn't hold up well even though it is supposed to be designed for outdoor use."
"There's one feature missing and that is automatic channel assignment."
"Better security is important because we need to have some degree of control over who is connected and how we can restrict the level of connectivity."
"Everything needs to be professionally done."
"It's hard to get stuff delivered on time."
"Central monitoring is the main functionality that should be included in the product."
"Could be more secure and the controller more user-friendly."
