Aruba Networks Wireless WAN Other Advice
I rate Aruba Networks Wireless LAN 10 out of 10 for the reasons I stated earlier. It's reliable, scalable, and low-maintenance. Planning is crucial. We insist on a walkthrough site survey with wireless survey equipment to first check the building where we will be implementing the wireless solution.

We use different versions of Aruba.
We are Aruba partners. As a partner, of course, I will try to encourage other people to look at Aruba and implement Aruba. Some of the features are not unique however they are very highly developed, and the solution is highly sophisticated. It's the best of its breed. As a partner with different vendors, however, you have to look at the requirements, and you have to make a decision on the requirements.
I’d rate the solution a ten out of ten.

I rate Aruba Networks Wireless WAN nine out of 10. It's a stable solution with advanced technical capabilities. We never need to worry if it's going to work.

It has an easy-to-understand interface compared to other products. It offers many features for seamless configuration and backup processes.
I rate it a nine out of ten.

On a scale from one to ten, I would rate this solution at nine.

We usually need some sessions for HPE products. When designing it for the customer, I could guarantee their system would not be down 99% of the time. I could also give them some advantages about why I use HP instead of Cisco, Fortinet, or Juniper, and some comparisons to clarify that. But if I give the customer some time for testing, it gives them confidence that I can test and ensure that this product is good.
I rate the product an eight out of ten since the product is from HPE, and they've used telecom before, so it is competitive. Anyone can use the solution without any problems. Likewise, the price and the service are very good.

Network solutions architecture at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
I have experience with Aruba Networks Wireless WAN.
My company has a 7200 series Aruba controller, almost five hundred access points, and Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager.
My company's existing database is deployed on-premises, including the controller, access point, and the Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager.
A team of five people, including myself, deployed Aruba Networks Wireless WAN. It was a process of putting and mounting access points. I also had two members in charge of configuring the switches while I configured the controller and the Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager. Once access points become visible on the controller, my team will proceed to the template configuration deployment for Aruba Networks Wireless WAN.
The deployment team consisted of five L1s, three L2s, and me, so a total of nine. My unit deployed five hundred access points to six thousand end users. My team of eight takes care of administration.
Aruba Networks Wireless WAN requires maintenance, for example, upgrading the controller or the Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager and then posture agent deployment for six thousand users. Any agent upgrade means deployment for the users as well.
I'd tell anyone looking into implementing Aruba Networks Wireless WAN that it's a good solution with many advantages, such as mobility, flexibility, and scalability, so I suggest using Aruba Networks Wireless WAN to enhance user experience.
My rating for Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is seven out of ten.
My role is similar to an integrator of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN.
My company is an Aruba Networks customer.

We are resellers of Aruba. We don't do a lot with the wireless. We consume it. We don't sell it.
The solution works well and it does what we need it to do.
It's a good product. Cloud management works very well. I would recommend cloud management to others any day.
I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.
View full review »The maintenance of the solution is not difficult, I have been doing it for a long time.
Aruba's controller is an integrated system, whereas Cisco has separate devices and services that are not too integrated. Ruckus also has separate devices and services. When customers buy Cisco or Ruckus devices, they are buying all the devices together to get the best service. However, after the sale, nobody calls for support or assistance.
In the case of Aruba, if the controller goes down, the access points can be converted to a version of the software that allows them to work with a virtual controller. However, there are physical issues with Aruba, such as confusion with the access point bracket and console cable. Even if there are multiple console types, it would be fine as long as they are provided in the box.
I prefer Ruckus solutions, but it is expensive for customers.
I rate Aruba Networks Wireless WAN a seven out of ten.

We're not necessarily on the latest version of the solution. We are due for an upgrade.
If someone has a smaller setup, Juniper may be a good option. However, with bigger setups and more unique features, Aruba is a good choice.

I only have experience with the controller-less environment, which is Aruba Central. When I do searches on Google, most of the information regarding that is for a controller-based or controller-less. I think Aruba Central is a newer way of deploying this solution, so because of that, there seems to be less information for it.
I would probably recommend talking to your representatives in order to get as much information about Aruba Central as you can before investing in it. If you can use a controller, it could be better or easier to find out information and learn how to configure it.
On a scale from one to ten, I would give Aruba Central a rating of eight. If they improved their documentation and the other issues I mentioned, then I would give it a rating of ten.

This solution is more than worth considering. I've used Aruba in different organizations. It historically has, to me, been an easier install than Cisco wireless solutions have been. It consistently gives similar services at a lower price point. I have found that their pre-sales teams and support have been better than similarly situated Cisco WiFi and WAN products.
I’d rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Approach HPE for Aruba. Also, stick with a technical team of consultants to design it and then go the market with a solution from HPE and get the value added reseller to do the necessary work.
I would rate Aruba at nine out of 10. There are always things that can be improved. But generally, out of the whole portfolio of solutions, Aruba stands out very much.

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Aruba Network Wireless as an eight. It is not a ten. Nothing can be a ten out of ten or it would have to be the best product or the only product providing a service.
View full review »They need to look at the scalability. How easy it is to set up for them, because there are actual software features that you get with Aruba that you don't get with the other vendors like location aware and guest access management. Those are the kind of things that Aruba does much better than the likes of Meraki. On top of that, Ruckus, as a company, is not that stable because they've been bought and sold about two or three in the last few years.
