Find out what your peers are saying about Ubiquiti Networks, Ruckus, Cambium Networks and others in Wireless WAN."It’s very stable and reliable."
"Aruba Wireless's best feature is that it's very, very robust."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is centralized management. It has features like other solutions, but it's easier to manage. Aruba Networks Wireless WAN also has a tax asset benefit which is good."
"I believe their Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) in its current form provides the best automated management of transmit power and channel. It does a really good job of managing proper design and wireless environment."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The installation process was easy."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The product keeps up with leading-edge technology so we have dependability and scalability."
"Meraki WLAN is easy to deploy, includes a cloud controller, and updates continuously. It also offers high visibility."
"The interface makes it easy to manage."
"The stability of the Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is very good."
"Meraki is a decent solution for a small company, and we use it in a pretty typical way. We need Teams and Zoom to work, and we need a high level of security because we want our business to remain confidential."
"It is very handy to have a support number to call."
"We're able to automate as well as manually control as necessary."
"The most valuable feature is that the solution is friendly to manage."
"It's easy to manage and provides a clear network view, allowing efficient navigation down to the network details."
"This solution needs different models that are more specialized for certain customers."
"Aruba's technical support has room for improvement."
"It is a little bit cumbersome to configure. If you're designing a WLAN and you want to do and cover certain types of clients, you really have to know different settings and how they interact with one another. If they could automate that so that if you are designing for one type of equipment, you could, in essence, run a wizard. That would certainly save on a lot of calls to tech support."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing, it's quite a premium."
"It works. We don't look at it any deeper than that and don't find any features ar missing."
"The issue is that we are unable to update it because we lack the necessary permissions. We set up the website, but we don't have permission to download the software."
"We do not have direct access to Aruba’s Mesh portal."
"If they provided more updates that would be ideal."
"In a future release, they should offer a next-generation UTM, where you can manage all items and the network, and have it include a lot of security features like fingerprinting functionality."
"I would like to see more cybersecurity. I would like the ability to go in and enhance security. Because WPA2 is becoming obsolete, many devices are now WPA3, but the challenge is that a lot of devices are not yet there. I would like to be able to go in and do monitoring, similar to ASPM. ASPM has the ability to monitor who's joining and who's active. It supports two-step monitoring. The stability of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN can also be improved."
"The integration options with third-party applications need enhancement."
"It would be good to integrate with ISE in the future."
"The ease of use is average. It could be more user-friendly."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Our only concern at this stage is how it's licensed."
"Currently, with Meraki, a controller is required to direct guest and user traffic to the internet. Improvement is needed in the portal for enhanced visibility into activities. Additionally, addressing multiple bugs, especially those arising with new releases, is crucial to ensure system stability."
