We don't have to pay subscription fees for the cloud solution, which is a major advantage. I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

One doesn’t need a license to use Instant On. You can install and plug and play. It is an affordable solution.

I rate the product's pricing a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. Solutions from some brands are cheaper than Aruba Instant On Access Points, while others, like Cisco, are expensive.

It's a cost-effective solution, similar to Cisco, for supporting small deployments. If I compare it to other vendors, I would say the pricing is low. You can rate it as a six out of ten, with one being expensive and ten being cheap. Moreover, there are no additional costs apart from the standard license fees.

The pricing can be a bit high and we'd like it to be lower.

The cost of the solution can be a bit high. There are options from China that you can get for a lower cost. I'd rate the affordability a two out of five.

It is competitively priced. It was at a price point that made sense for me to put in my home, and that says something. The cost of the solution includes everything we need to manage and upgrade our Wi-Fi network, including the mobile management app. Having the licensing and all the functionality built into the base price of the product is really important for me. There are no extra costs for the security feature or automatic software/firmware updates, which is really important to me. In enterprise-type environments, the biggest thing that's always pushed down is the recurring cost in terms of support licensing, etc. In a small office or home office solution, a lot of times, those recurring costs don't fit the budget. So, being able to drop a solution and have it all baked in really sells the product.

There is no licensing fee. There is a one-time purchase. There is no support after a certain amount of time, however, you could probably buy more support. The price is $165 an AP. Even if something goes wrong, another $165 for a replacement wouldn't be a pain. It was a win in that sense. Plus, we don't need a license to make it work. The cost of the solution includes everything we need to manage and upgrade our WIFI network, including the mobile management app. The cost weighed a lot on the decision to go with this solution. It was nice not to worry about the need for a license in order for the units to work, as we had with Cisco. If you didn't have a license, then they were just a paperweight. Pricing and licensing were really big factors, and Aruba pretty much hit it out of the park.

The price of Aruba Instant On Access Points is reasonable. They are competitively priced. I've even used it in my home at one time because of the low price.

Its price is fair. It is not really cheap, and it is also not expensive. It is in the middle.

It's not expensive and it comes with everything included. There's no need to buy extra stuff on both, like hardware and software support. It's very well priced. I can't see that anyone could be cheaper or better. It is important to us that there are no extra costs for the solution's security features. You buy the product with all the features. Security-wise and manageability, you don't have any extra costs out of pocket. You pay below $200 for an access point. It's a very good price and everything's included, there's nothing extra.

Ingredients for success. Fast 802.11ac Wave 2, secure employee and guest access, easy-to-use web, and mobile app management. Say yes to secure Wi-Fi access. Pre-built access control lists (ACLs) and built-in firewall in the access points prevent malicious traffic from entering your network – we call it “hassle-free” security. Never drop an important call. With Instant On, voice and video business applications are automatically prioritized, so you stay connected with your peers.
