"What I like most about Aruba Wireless is its stability, functionality, and performance."

"There are some issues we occasionally have. However, they are easily remedied."
"Aruba doesn't match some competitors in wireless signal strength. It isn't in the same class as Cisco Meraki, so I would use Cisco Meraki in situations where I need to cover a large open space. Meraki has more powerful signals going out."
"Better integration between the controller and the ClearPass portal would be a nice change."
"The price could be better. In the next release, I would like to have more analytics features."
"I wish the APs had the ability to enter in notes about a specific AP."
"The product’s performance got worse with newer releases."
"We're using the Aruba Sensor, but sometimes the sensor isn't talking to AirWave or the AP. If something happens, we need to receive an email directly from the sensor, but the controller doesn't know. If there's something like the high channel utilization from the sensor we send to the controller, the controller can change the channel because they're all in the same environment."
"Fortinet FortiWLC is not simple to configure when compared to other solutions. The design could be better."
"One thing that is lacking is, compared with some other brands, the signal is a bit weaker. Ruckus has much wider signal coverage."
