"These switches are very easy to install because there is no configuration."
"The main selling point for me was the pricing. Moreover, the performance is good. I haven't had any issues so far."
"Aruba's website should be localized to support the Indonesian language. The content of their website and the help desk should be in the Indonesian language."
"The main issue we had with the Aruba Switches was that they would heat up easily when placed outside. We have two locations with no cover in the corridor and it's a historical building. We experienced outages on the first batch of Aruba Switches we received, which we never had with the Dell Switches, for example, even though Dell Switches are not as well-known. However, the Dell Switches had been outside for a few years and we never had any issues with them. In contrast, we encountered an issue with the Aruba Switch after only one week of being outside when it shut down in security mode."
"They have limited CLI options in the UI and this is something that needs improvement."
"My experience with Aruba's account manager hasn't been the greatest."
"I think that the performance is getting better but they need to have more powerful switches on the market so that they can capture medium and large businesses."

"Aruba does not have local support in our region of Kerala."
"The endpoint capabilities could be improved."
"Its security features need improvement."
"I'd like to see a central management system included as part of their license, not as a separate purchase. Currently, we have to manage switches independently. A central portal for managing all switches and providing visibility would be great."
"The availability could be improved."
"The solution needs better local support."
"They need to have some more high-end switches."
"In a future release, the solution could improve by being more secure and allowing the configuration of each port."
"We have issues with the stability."
"I would like an option to create different networks within the switch."
