“Disappointment in what used to be a great company before they were acquired”

1.0
Dec 29, 2023
I was a fan of Aruba, but I started to see some issues when they were acquired by HP, but now they terrible. I have used Aruba APs for ten years and when there was an initiative to upgrade to newer technology, there was no question that it would be Aruba. I very much regret this decision now. We replaced a functioning system with AP 635s and they do not work. We have spent two months with Aruba support trying to solve the problems and have made no improvement. Their tech support is now in to delaying tactics because they have no solutions or idea why it doesn't work. This isn't just a small functionality that is not working. They do not allow roaming. They constantly drop clients. What I consider basic for a Wi-Fi network.

Like

Centralized management without an external controller Good security support Lots of versatility

Like

Absolutely the simplicity to manage with Aruba Central e ways to request support.

Dislike

It is not something to dislike about the product but sometimes support is not appropriate by the OEM.

Dislike

Tech support actually knows very little about the product APs do not allow for client roaming APs drop connections and are inconsistent

Dislike

There are no major issues, just some areas where the experience could be slightly improved. Some configuration option in aruba central can feel a bit layered and less intuitive. The licensing structure requires careful review during the procurement process to clearly understand the feature differences between tiers, a more simplified packaging could help accelerate the decision making at the executive level
