"What needs improvement in Aruba Wireless is its access point, in particular, it should have more flexibility. Aruba Wireless has Campus AP, Instant AP, and Unified AP, but it would be better if the product has a generic access point that you can manage over the cloud, on-premise, etc. Another area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is scalability. In terms of what additional features I'd like to see in the product, I'm unsure if it's already on the roadmap, but if possible, it would be good to have an SD-WAN functionality on the AP in Aruba Wireless."
"The latest design of their APs removes the console port and requires purchasing an expensive proprietary cable just to access the console."
"Aruba Wireless has room to improve the connection from one AP to another."
"There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights. It's not easy to bring up the upgrades."
"We would prefer it if the solution could be less expensive."
"The solution could offer more integration with other products."
"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."
"The solution should create configuration documentation."
"There could be a high level of security."
"The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution."
