Overall Satisfaction with HPE Aruba Ethernet Switches

In the school district I work for, HPE Aruba Ethernet switches connect various devices including: employee workstations, laptops, servers, printers and wireless Access Points. Some of the business problems the product addresses are: reliable connectivity, low latency, offering security features such as ACLs, provide scalability and offering management tools and interfaces that make network configuration easier.

Pros

  • Management and automation

Cons

  • Complexity in some configurations
  • Not all features are available for all products
  • Web interface capabilities
  • Increased Productivity
  • Enhanced Security
  • Better User Experience
I have not had that many issues with these products. Aruba Central has been really helpful. The Integration Capabilities allows us to use Clearpass . For individuals new to enterprise-grade networking, there can still be a learning curve associated with understanding the concepts and the specifics of the Aruba configuration.
