"Technical support needs improvement. We use the forum for technical support assistance, but it's not enough. If you're talking with a technician, they're in India. They cannot give you the service that you need. Sometimes have problems with some personal services and technical support is not helpful in this area.""The product's high cost is an area where improvements are required.""The management component is difficult to understand and not very user-friendly which increases deployment time.""The only issue we've had is getting equipment supplies. The availability of the APs that I want to use has been an issue. It took almost two months to get them the first time. I've ordered a few more for another client, and they're still on back order. It has been over a month now.""I think they're missing roadmaps to the partners and the customers. They're releasing the products, but there are no quick updates to the partners and the customers.""The product’s GUI must be improved.""Aruba Instant's visibility, firewalling, L3 functionality, and DHCP services could all be improved.""The product can be improved by adding a clear interface."
