This functionality allows us to assign different access privileges to users based on their roles within the organization."

"The support offered by Aruba is slow."
"The tool needs to enhance its security features."
"The Central cloud management (optional) is far behind the competition in features, ease of use, and dependability. I have tried Aruba Central a few times over the years and, in my option, it is not where it needs to be for serious consideration in production environments."
"For on-premises, I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. For on-prem, if I want to integrate two more controls, and I want to extend my network , and add a couple of access points that need to be integrated with my network, I have to do the configurations and all. So that will be each and every time, as and when the users expand, the Wi-Fi solution expands; I need to do the configuration settings on all other controllers."
"The connectivity of the solution can use some improvement."
"I think that the next release should offer IP phone security/firewall."
"Initial integration with the cloud was problematic."
