"It's stable."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its monitoring capabilities."
"The most valuable features are the stability and compatibility with other products."
"The most valuable aspect for our organization is the CX. It's wonderful."
"They provide great service in terms of replacing malfunctioning switches."
"I have found some of the key features of the solution are it can be configured similar to Cisco, it is secure, easy to use, and the dashboard works well."
"The product could be a little more competitive price-wise."
"I would say that the customization of the switches could be easier to configure."
"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."
"There are some growing pains with Aruba Central. When you first launch the wireless access points or switches, a lot of updates are needed to get Aruba Central ready, especially on the access points, so the initial deployment time could improve. I would hope that I could just turn it on and leave the updates until later on. The switches themselves probably did okay. I'm primarily referring to the wireless access points. There was a lot of back and forth before everything was in sync. It took hours."
"The command-line interface could be easier to use, perhaps having voice control."
"The written documentation, all the available documentation, is often a little bit hard to find. The solution lacks documentation, especially on recent features. We have access directly to Aruba, Germany, so they are always helpful, but if you start, for instance, with something a little bit more complex like zero-touch provisioning, that would require a more comprehensive written piece."
"We have had problems with the cooling fans on these switches."
"We had an integration team do the setup of the solution."
"In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems."
