We had three to four staff members handling the configuration and the deployment.

It took a few months to deploy the solution. I was the main technician involved in the deployment.

We utilized technical support for our implementation. 

We had a partner who sold Aruba to us. However, we work for other products, so we just sat down for a couple of days and that's it. That is all the time you need to set it up.

I do the implementation and configuration of the solution for customers.

We did the deployment of the solution in-house.

The deployment for Aruba ClearPass was done in-house. I took training classes from the Aruba training center. It was on-demand training.

I implemented ClearPass myself.

Implementation was done through a third party. We outsourced the deployment to our network vendor.

Maintenance is also outsourced. For the application itself, maintenance takes about four hours a month. For the actual usage of the applications on a day-to-day basis, we do that ourselves.

I didn't set it up myself. I'm involved in operating the system.

We used a third-party company for deploying Aruba ClearPass.

We have a dedicated engineer for Aruba ClearPass when it comes to deploying and support of the solution. One engineer is enough for my client's environment.

We have one person that is needed to use to support Aruba ClearPass.

We handle aspects of the implementation for our clients.

A local vendor was used.

We do the implementation of the solution, and the time it takes for us to do the deployment depends on the customer's size.

I am the consultant who installs this for end-users.

We did need a third party to come in and help us do the implementation. We had some initial help from an HP engineer on the Aruba side who spent some time with us, showing us an evaluation version of it, but when we went into production we had to get a third party to help us.

I am the system integrator if it would be done in-house. If the person that is deploying ClearPass has experience with radius servers, deploying it would take three to six times longer than to hire a system integrator. Unless the in-house IT team has the time and resources to learn to deploy and troubleshoot ClearPass out of the box, then I definitely recommend getting a systems integrator. They would know how the system works, what questions to ask and troubleshooting techniques.

The implementation was done in-house. We used three people for the process.

We used an integrator. They were very good. Most of the shortcomings were technology based, not implementation based.

We implemented it in-house.

But if you do use a vendor, make sure your implementation partner is aware of all CleaPass features. Otherwise, it will be tough. Since ClearPass is a mix of AAA, NAC, Guest Module, Onguard, Profiling, and On-Boarding, make sure your partner is an expert in ClearPass.

It was a mixed team working together.

It was through a vendor team, and I would advise anyone going to implement this solution to enable all features during the initial setup and try to get some reference from the vendor in order to contact them and ask them about their experience.

The implementation was done in-house. It is the corporative authentication solution and the Guest Portal for the customer.

We had a vendor team on site which helped accelerate the process.

We have qualified and certified engineers who implement and deploy this solution.

I implemented it in-house. My advice is to first set up the pilot for a small environment and then go all out.

We purchased this solution together with the Professional Services, so the vendor set it up for us.

It was originally put in with a vendor team and was only set up for access to the appliances.

I started with an in-house implementation and consulted the vendor team when it’s required.
