The managed configuration is exceptionally complex and at times genuinely difficult to follow, even for experienced IT staff. The management interface and its underlying logic are not intuitive, and the learning curve is steep. The sheer number of configuration options is extensive to the point where it becomes an obstacle rather than an advantage unless the administrator already has deep Aruba-specific knowledge. Migrating from a another environment adds further friction, as the CLI syntax differs significantly enough to require relearning rather than adapting existing knowledge. Automation is also a notable weak point. The APIs are poorly designed and inconsistent, making it difficult to integrate Aruba into modern infrastructure automation workflows. Tasks that should be straightforward to script or automate frequently require workarounds or simply cannot be done cleanly through the available interfaces. We needed external support from a service provider to get the wireless environment operational, which is not something an internal IT department should have to rely on for a product at this price point.
