You are good to go once you set up the controller and the policies. You need to connect the access points, and it will automatically provision to the groups, and all the access points will start working on it.

Controller one-time configurations take 45 to 50 minutes or one hour maximum. Then, putting access points to the groups takes another five minutes.

Three in-house engineers implemented the solution with help from an integrator. Deployment took one week to ten days. 

There is no ongoing maintenance because the solution is very, very reliable. 

Aruba provided an implementation partner who helped us on the project. Fewer than 10 people were needed for deployment.

We implement the solution for our customers.

The implementation is completed in-house by our team for our customers.

Two of our engineers had help from the two Aruba Wireless engineers for the implementation of Aruba Wireless.

Deployment was done through a third party.

When it comes to installing access points, especially the IAPs, I've encountered some issues. These access points don't always remain stable, particularly during reboots or configuration changes. Even when I've configured ten access points, there's no guarantee that they will consistently come back online and perform as expected after a reboot or network interruption. This is a concern I'd like to highlight, and I believe the team should work on improving the stability of these access points.

We hired a third party for setup and it took about four months. I rate the setup experience an eight out of ten.

We have a partner who is working on this with us, and they are the ones implementing the solution. They're managing our infrastructure also.

My company pre-staged the equipment and the APs, and then initially, the deployment team had a few issues during the Aruba Wireless installation.

A third-party team deployed the product for my company.

We implemented it in-house.

We implemented via a vendor, and implementation took approximately one week.

Implementation was done by a little bit of both an in-house team and a vendor team. The vendor helped us get the ClearPass set up; otherwise, we set up the AirWave appliance (monitoring solution - similar to a controller).

Maintenance, such as deploying updates, can be done using a single person. I do all of it for our company and we have 147 access points, worldwide.

Doing an upgrade involves two clicks, and it can be done within 15 minutes.

This can be compared to Cisco, where you had to pre-stage everything. It was painful and it took me four hours to complete.

I deploy the solution for our clients. 

The deployment can be done in-house. We can deploy devices from the cloud for remote locations. We need not go there. Aruba has a solution for zero-touch provisioning.

The deployment process can vary significantly based on the number of access points and the controller. When you're dealing with a large number of access points connected to a controller, it's important to monitor the synchronization process, which can take some time. Fortunately, there are features integrated into both the Access Point and the controller to help manage this process more effectively, help streamline the deployment process, and ensure it runs smoothly. It typically takes around two to three days for changes to become fully effective in the live customer environment.

We implemented Aruba Wireless through a consultant. Our experience with the consultant was good. He provided good support without the need for any intervention. The product was implemented well and working per our requirements.

We have a couple of IT specialists, one architect, and a development operations engineer for deploying the updates and maintaining the solution. In total, it is around four or five people who maintain the product. Not everyone needs to be dedicated to it full-time.  

A third party did the implementation. I'm not familiar with the setting. So, I got help from a consultant.

The initial setup does take some getting used to. However, once you understand it, it's quite straightforward. 

I'd rate the ease of setup at a four and a half out of five. 

We did enlist the help of network consultants to complete the setup for us. Three consultants were involved in the deployment and it took three days. 

I'm a systems integrator. I can implement the product for clients. 

We deployed via out in-house team of a couple of engineers.

Our in-house team did the implementation.

Our in-house team is responsible for deployment.

We integrate Aruba Wireless and other devices for our customers.

We are able to handle the implementation process ourselves.

We did not have to use an integrator, reseller, or consultant for our deployment. We could do that ourselves. But we do work with all the integrators in Portugal because we help them to sell the solution so that they can implement it for the clients. We help them sell the product and then they do the deployments.  

We used a vendor team to implement. We used a third party consulting firm to assist with setting up the redundant controller. Both were very good.

We used five technicians for the deployment of the product.

We partnered with a certified specialist for implementation. 

Two in-house engineers handle all maintenance. 

We installed Aruba Wireless by our internal team, as we resell their products.

We just used the cheat sheets we have in our SharePoint, following what the previous engineers did when setting up.

At my previous employer we had a relatively large wireless installation so we worked with a vendor team. The network at my current employer is small enough that I could handle it myself.

We have installed and configured it by ourselves. We did not need the assistance of consultants or integrators. That said, we had the access points, however, we needed some education, some training. The company who sold us the access point really spent two or three days training us and then we configured it ourselves.

We had a very good experience with them. We were satisfied with their level of expertise.

I implemented it myself.

As integrators, we can implement this product for our clients. 

The setup is generally in-house and we support it.

We used an in house team (me).

We got help from a third-party vendor, not Aruba. They were okay. We didn't have any problem.

The support for implementation both from supplier and vendor is great. The installation definitely takes some ground work and preparation in-house but once it’s all sorted as per the design the product can be fully configured in a couple of days’ time.

We did the implementation in-house with a technical person from the manufacturer.

We implemented it with support of vendor and I would rate them as 9/10.

We used a vendor team for implementation.

We used a vendor to the deployment. The deployment went absolutely well. I will have to give the vendor a 10 for their expertise and work they did.

We used a vendor and they were very knowledgeable.

We have a design team and a technical team who take care of the implementation and deployment. Most of the time, they consult with me if there's an issue with the design or they need more details. We provide a consulting service for this.

We used a vendor team and their level of experience was excellent.
