Aruba Airwave's initial setup is straightforward. You just have to connect, put in your IP address, and the devices will connect.

For me, it's quite easy because I've worked with the portfolio before.

So, I would rate my experience a ten out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy. 

We have implemented both cloud and on-prem solutions. It's typically a hybrid cloud, like Google or Amazon kind of.

The deployment time depends on the number of devices and servers. But for a single server, one day is usually enough.

AirWave is fairly straightforward to set up if you have some experience in wireless networks. It can be fine-tuned. For instance, if you have an environment where students need to use a particular application, you can prioritize that application.

One person is enough to install and effectively troubleshoot it. A single person can manage an entire small college.

The setup is easy. That said, we don't install AirWave every time. It's just a one-time install and after, we make some updates. 

The solution is easy to set up. When deploying the solution, we download the VM or the Airwave software from Aruba software support. We then check the server's prerequisite memory, RAM, hardware, CPU, and so on. After that, we upload the VM as an ISO on the server. After uploading the VM, we perform initial setups such as management ID and gateway and enable the HTTP to enter the server's UI. After that, we can open the Airwave GUI and configure it to version two or three. We then add or collect any devices after configuring the protocol and add switches, wireless controllers, or access points.

The initial setup takes 30 minutes. The time taken to add devices depends on the number of devices. It takes five to ten minutes to configure one device.

The solution's initial setup process is straightforward.

I rate the initial setup process a seven out of ten. We deploy it on-premises and on the cloud as well. It takes a lot of time to build the controller license. The implementation time depends on the complexity of the customer’s environment.

The initial setup for Aruba Airwave is easy because it has a virtual machine template, and Aruba has documentation, including an installation guide that my company follows. Aruba Airwave also has a ZTP setup, making it extremely easy.

Deploying Aruba Airwave took one to two days. You need to download, install, deploy, and configure it, and it'll work.

There are two staff members who maintain everything.

It is easy. All Aruba solutions are easy to set up. Cisco solutions can be complicated in terms of configuration and pre-sales activity. They are becoming a little bit easier, but AirWave is still the easiest one.

Initial setup is straightforward. It is recommended to read the manual before implementation.

Deployment took an hour and a half to two hours.

It was easy to install, not complex.

It took about thirty minutes to deploy.

This solution requires a moderate amount of staff to deploy and maintain.
