I can recommend the use of this software, the objective points that we had as an organization for months could be met. I am not saying that it is free of problems but it gives peace of mind and confidence that it is backed by a large company in the technology industry.

• An intricate system of connections that make it seem like your outside sites are all on one single LAN
• Well priced in their category as others are a bit pricier for the same services
• Aruba is backed by a well staffed support team that can get you through your issues

• The right support team for your product can be difficult to get ahold of
• Integration with Cisco is not as super tight as integration with Aruba devices
• Some of the advanced features are difficult to use

• There are certain tools that need training to be able to use them. One of them is SASE which requires reading long documentation and the support of qualified engineers is needed. I think this is difficult and does not allow you to explore all areas of the Nuage environment.
• There is intermittence in the afternoon hours. I mean by this that in the afternoon hours from 6 to 10 pm the platform does not load in the way it should, filling options are slowed down and the same thing happens in the early morning hours, the support team has not yet determined the exact reason for this.
• Volume discount could not be negotiated. That in this case a really extensive investment was requested for first-time use of the product.

Incentivized

• Changed the way we manage remote sites
• Saved us funds in the LAN budget
• Created new opportunities to roll out functions at these sites

• It has allowed us to unite different computer methodologies for the control of breakdowns in the cloud.
• This supports commitment and meets business objectives in less time. This is simpler and the benefit is obvious.
• Improving incorrect procedures in this sense allows us to anticipate correcting errors by giving us alerts and avoiding wasting too much time solving specific problems in the future.
• Meet business objectives in months and it has been surprising. A specific business objective was to improve our facilities to be able to deliver faster service to our customers and achieve higher profit income.
