    The performance of the Aruba Instant Wi-Fi Access Points works very well when there are many users per access point. The possibilities for security settings and setting up the wifi network according to an extensive company policy are possible. This requires some knowledge, but …

    Less AI integration than Juniper Access Points but the Aruba Instant Wi-Fi Access Points are less expensive than the Juniper Access Points. Ubiquiti is considerably less expensive, but don't scale as well as the Aruba Instant Wi-Fi Access Points. We're hoping that the AI tools …

    When comparing Aruba Instant Wi-Fi Access Points to Cisco Meraki MR the most significant factors are pricing and license fees. At the current cost of one Meraki MR AP, we can deploy three Aruba Instant Wi-Fi Access Points, providing equivalent functionality, coverage, and …

    Much better performance and easer configuration then Ruckus. We had many issues with that deployment and Aruba solve it. Also they look much better than other AP which we had.

    Aruba is the clear winner. I am curious to try out Mist and possibly Meraki to see how they stack up. We are up for hardware renewal next year, so it should be interesting.

    Cisco Aironet did not even compare to Aruba, Aruba was so far advanced from Cisco back when we used them. Aruba solved several business problems all in one ecosystem, all Cisco did was acted as somewhat intelligent Access Points. Aruba enabled us to leverage VoIP, use APs as …

    For our company, Aruba was cheaper than Cisco, which is what we replaced. Also, I feel Aruba was more stable and we had fewer issues overall. We were always having issues with our captive portal with Cisco but with Aruba we have had no issues. As far as features, both have …

    Comparing the Aruba wireless solutions to the big dog of the networking industry is not easy. The Cisco offering has great depth of features and capabilities, but when it comes to the major determining factor it starts to even out more. Pricing is where the rubber hits the …

    Aruba blew the doors off of the SonicWall/SonicPoint deployment we had previously. The SonicPoints would reboot randomly and were not compatible with many of the Mac devices we had in our environment. SonicWall support was atrocious and since then have been sold several times.

    In the past we used Cisco APs. As many may agree, Cisco is not known for their management software and interfaces. Aruba makes this much more user friendly. The cost is also a major factor. The hardware seems to be equal in quality to Cisco, but at a reduced price.
