The security side of Aruba Remote Access Points could be improved.

Since Aruba Remote Access Points is an on-premises tool, my company must deploy the VPN gateway everywhere. It would have been helpful to manage multiple gateways on the solution if Aruba Remote Access Points introduced a cloud or SaaS-based version. The solution's AI capabilities need improvement since many manual things are involved presently. Automation in the solution can happen with more AI capabilities.

The solution's technical support has some shortcomings that need improvement.

There are some issues, like the VLAN capabilities and support for routing between two VMs. These require Layer 3 switching, which Aruba partially covers but not a hundred percent. It can be frustrating for someone who knows about the product and want to implement specific features that are not fully supported by the current software.

Its scalability capabilities should be improved.

The remote access point coverage should be bigger than it is now. The speed of the express network should be higher than now. These days, the 5G network is very fast. If they don't improve their network speed, then they will fade away, fade out. We’d like them to add 5G functionality as soon as possible.

There is room for improvement in terms of pricing. If they can be more competitive.

Our difficulty with Aruba is that the product and the license are two different items. So, if we are adding an access point, we have to pay for two items. We have to pay to add the access point in the controller and we have to pay for the license.

I use the controller when using Aruba Remote Access Points, particularly during configuration. Hence, room for improvement in Aruba Remote Access Points is for its web UI to be easier to control.

The solution is all good for me, except for the web UI, which needs to be more straightforward.

It could have better monitoring features. Not all features are available on the monitoring dashboard.

The product needs an increased level of security for the end user.

It would help if the remote APs had some kind of SoHo environment with built-in firewall features. That way it could connect directly in a client-to-site type of environment, or a site-to-site VPN environment. That way users could have a complete office setup without coming to the private cloud. It could connect to the central site directly from the internet and get logged on to the controller.

I would also like to see a more open security consolidation. And the monitoring part should be in a single controller.
