    Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is less expensive and has a better warranty than Cisco. The setup for both systems is about the same. The only drawback is Cisco products are supported more by third parties monitor systems.

    Aruba Networks Wireless WAN is an excellent solution for small to medium-sized implementation, especially on-premise. The ability to centrally manage all policy-based access requirements for both registered users as well as guests using the portal is effortless. This is backed up by good documentation which is available and excellent vendor support (HP).

    The unified network cloud webpage offers many visibilities for the entire network. From routers, SDWAN and SDWAN edges to check and monitor each interface for failover. Aruba usually provide credit for learning, and this will help give the admin more visibility to use and manage the entire network from the single point of cloud based web Gui

    We used Xirrus wifi before we moved to Aruba. Xirrus is a great niche brand that has been sold to other companies a few times in the life we used the products. This negatively impacted the product availability in our country, local support, and amount of implementation partners. Due to Aruba their broad product range, availability in the market, and knowledge with implementation partners we feel that we can build upon their products not only for a product cycle but for the decade to come.
