Ruckus and Aruba are not as good as Cisco.

We're currently a Cisco shop, and we were thinking about possibly looking into different firewall vendors next year to get an opinion on the different technologies on their next-generation firewalls, just to see what made the most sense as far as comparing different vendors.

We looked at one point, at Fortinet. It is a good platform. I would definitely try to switch to Fortinet if I can. The whole platform pricing standpoint from Fortinet is good. It's a possibility that on our end, we might be switching over to them. Apples to apples, Cisco and Fortinet are very similar and both are quite good. 

We were migrating from the on-prem to the cloud version. We made a comparison analysis b/w different technologies.

I evaluated D-Link and TP-Link prior to choosing Cisco Wireless WAN.

I'm currently looking into Aruba. 

We compared it to Aruba Wireless. Aruba has its own strength in the latest technology, their architects are very different, and they are more advanced. So I think Cisco is one step behind Aruba.

We are also using a solution by Aruba. Some of the features are better with Cisco, whereas different features are better in Aruba.

We also evaluated Nokia and we found it more difficult to integrate.

I prefer the solution offered by Fortinet better.

We evaluated the Cisco Meraki solution before we made the decision to choose the on-premise solution. One reason we choose the on-premise solution is we were already using one. When choosing which one is better, it is difficult because I did not use Cisco Meraki extensively to determine which one is best.

I wasn't involved in the decision-making process about alternative options before we went with the Wireless WAN.

We are evaluating other solutions that are most cost-effective. Cisco is more expensive than either Aruba or SonicWall.

Between Cisco and Aruba, I would say that the features are similar. Each of them is better at different features.
