Aruba Instant Pricing
The customers do not have to pay for licensing.
The pricing is good. If you buy an IAP and later decide to switch to a controller solution, you don't have to discard your existing access points. You can simply convert them and pay for the licensing. It's a convenient option they offer.
However, the first generation, they weren't as flexible. So, they have become more flexible.

Aruba is a little bit costlier than Cambium Networks.
The product is costly since I have to purchase the hardware and the warranties separately. I need to pay the license cost to Aruba Central if I want to be able to manage the product. Aruba Central keeps increasing the prices. I purchased the license for five years. Two years ago, I paid INR 12,000 for Aruba Central AP Foundation, but now, I will have to pay double the amount, which comes up to INR 24,000, making it a costly product. The product's partners are not very supportive of the pricing part of the tool.

It's not too expensive. It is somewhere between the middle, the expensive, and the cheap.
The pricing is reasonable.

I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive. It offers good relations between functionality, compatibility, reasonable price, and a range of nice products.
The pricing is reasonable. I'd rate it seven out of ten.
Whether it is affordable to other people depends on who is buying it and what they need it to do. It's not like TP-Link or something like that. There are a bit more features.
There are also other solutions that are cheaper than this, however, they may not work the same.
There are no additional costs. We pay just one price for the device itself. I'm not sure of the exact price. It might have been around $100.

The price is okay. However, it depends on the project. If you have a big project, you can get a good price. Also, you have lifetime support from Aruba, which is great. That can save a lot of money over time.

I'm located in Palestine. I bought it from another person who got it from the main distributor and got it to me. This is how it works. While it depends on the model, compared to other products, it's fairly priced.
I'm not sure about pricing worldwide since it could be different. However, it's one of the cheapest solutions here or the more affordable solution. Fortinet is much more expensive, and Unify is even more expensive. If you look at the package as a whole, you're much better off with Aruba. As a business, you always need discounts and cheaper products. If it got even lower, they would get more market share.
We pay about $300 per access point. Fortinet is about $500. It's a one-time fee.

It is not expensive. Its price is fair. You get many features with the normal licensing. If I look at Cisco, it is very expensive if I need similar things.

There’s no licensing required to use the tool. We have to renew the maintenance agreement, though.
View full review »It's not easy for me to talk about the cost since I am a technician. I'd rate it a two out of five in terms of affordability. It's more on the expensive side. There might be some extra costs involved depending on the infrastructure.
I purchased the hardware and there are no monthly or yearly licenses to buy.

In terms of costs, Aruba Instant is cheap because it doesn't require a license, but you'll incur charges for the access points. Access point charges could be more affordable.
