It sends me notifications when things are down, and it tells me how everything is doing."

"The most useful feature of this product is the configuration that allows us to have several areas covered with one unit."
"Although there are other solutions available and some with a lower initial cost, they don't offer the same level of integration with IoT as this solution without having to add additional hardware, which ends up costing more."
"Scalability has been one of the easiest aspects of the Aruba Instant product line. As long as the models are compatible, you can simply connect it to your network and it will learn the settings from the other APs on the network and join the AP network."
"Aruba allowed for the detailed control and management of an entire WiFi network from a single screen backed by a support team with local SEs who work with business partners to ensure the product's success."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."

"While it is mostly scalable, there are some limitations."
"If anything, its reporting could be improved."
"Software-wise, I would like to have a way of moving APs from site to site and wish there would be a way to add more APs to one site. I know the limit is 25 APs per site and I wish there were more."
"The tool is priced high."
"I believe there's room for improvement in the validation process, especially for customers facing compliance issues when managing access points from the cloud. It would be beneficial if the access points could also be managed from an on-premises controller. Regarding additional features, customers express interest in enhancing the controller, specifically improving the capability to manage a higher number of access points from the same controller. This feature is crucial for better scalability. Another feature that customers would appreciate is the ability to increase the number of access points. However, the current process for obtaining this permission can be time-consuming, and customers would like to see improvements in this regard."
"The solution's range could be better."
"The limited functionality of the mobile app restricts its use primarily to small and medium-sized setups, making it less suitable for enterprise-level solutions."
"The new 8400 failed at Lab, plus its integration with Aruba Central."
"Better integration with equipment from other vendors would ease the deployment process in some cases."
"I would like to see a faster web interface in the controller and more troubleshooting tools, including real-time troubleshooting tools."
"The urgent areas of improvement would be customer support, better tuned default settings, and documentation."
"Aruba Wireless is a good product, but it still has some issues, especially at the beginning, where there's inconsistent syncing between the cloud and the APs. Sometimes, there's also a little lag when accessing the query."
"Initial setup was complex."
"Better integration between the controller and the ClearPass portal would be a nice change."
"There is a lot of information for users about the product, but it needs to be better organized so that solutions are easier to find."
