"Aruba One Plane of Glass"
4/5
What do you like best about HPE Aruba Networking Management?

The Aruba system is robust and they are one of the last few fully offering a true Layer 3 Switch/system. The Access Points look good and you can get them in a few different colors to match whatever surface you are mounting them too. Need an all black appliance to match that restaurant cieling on the waterfront, you got it. The airwave device is kind of like HPE, Ubiquiti or others, a physical appliance that sits in a rack and provides monitoring of all the solutions. We've utilized it both per client or one hosted externally and sending devices back to it, so it is versitile in that aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HPE Aruba Networking Management?

Aruba is on the moon with pricing. $6000 for a layer 3 48 port switch and thats the barebones version. The airwave devices are also very expensive. Something to consider they are harder to sell for an MSP with small to Medium size clients. Great for larger clients that have deeper pockets or a larger dataroom needing the additional vlaning and route support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about HPE Aruba Networking Management?

There is not much to dislike about the product. Airwave is a complete package and is also not a buggy product. I do would appreciate if there is an on cloud deployment for the product instead of using central. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
