Overall Satisfaction with Aruba Instant Wi-Fi Access Points

We use the Aruba Instant Wi-Fi Access Points as access points for business customers. First we look at the need for use and capacity. Then a measurement follows, so that we can place the APs in the office or room where wifi is needed. Through these actions we ensure good coverage of the wifi, and this ensures that everyone in the company has a good, safe and reliable connection to the network and/or the internet. Different SSIDs are also created for the wish that is there. Often at least 2 networks, 1 for the company network, and a guest wifi.

Pros

  • Strong wifi connection
  • good wifi coverage
  • Strong security settings
  • Cloud management via Aruba Central

Cons

  • It is an expensive product
  • sometimes certain settings are quite complex
  • The continuity if the virtual controller fails due to, for example, a power failure
  • for some functions you need aruba central
  • It is a scalable solution, so if the company expands or contracts, the Aruba Instant Wi-Fi Access Points can be added or removed.
  • It is an expensive purchase, but you will earn it back because you have less disruptions, which does not cost IT hours. And the wifi users can do their work without interruptions
  • Aruba Instant Wi-Fi Access Points require little maintenance.

It is a good and stable product, and does exactly what it is intended for. It provides a good wifi connection, and ensures that the users on the work floor can do their work well. In addition, there are so many technical possibilities, that you can configure the wifi network completely to the specific wishes of the work floor.
The performance of the Aruba Instant Wi-Fi Access Points works very well when there are many users per access point. The possibilities for security settings and setting up the wifi network according to an extensive company policy are possible. This requires some knowledge, but the possibilities are great. There are good tools available for layer 7 devices and for control and monitoring of the wifi network. This solution fits well in larger environments in particular due to its flexibility and scalability.
