Aruba products support the latest technologies available in the market along with great after-sales services. The warranty and replacement features are very good. It is cost effective in its class and segment. Manufacturing quality is robust which gives the customers peace of mind against any surprise damages . It looks and feels very good also.

Dislike

1.The server farm series switches have fewer stacking models. 2.There are fewer core layer switches that support SFP28 models. 3. The Type-c console sometimes does not respond.

Dislike

They should be more focused on their Professional Services part along with the implementation Activities.

Dislike

Product needs to be more rugged for some specific outdoor environment , which can handle more heat and dust like few OEMs offer. The solution documents needs to be more organised . Price is a bit on the higher side hence Aruba should look into it.
