Overall Satisfaction with Aruba Networks Wireless
We use Aruba wireless throughout the organization. We had a very unreliable wireless deployment from SonicWall. I had personally had experience with Aruba hardware from a previous employer. Knowing the reliability of their APs, I made the recommendation to my department to check out Aruba. We've not looked back.
Pros
- Load balancing between APs.
- Deployment of firmware.
- We have the 325 model and can push several devices through them w/o issue.
Cons
- They claimed to only need 20W of power for full functionality, however, we found they need 29W of power. On CISCO PoE switches at least.
- Less downtime
- Ability use several WiFi devices in the environment
- SonicWall
Aruba blew the doors off of the SonicWall/SonicPoint deployment we had previously. The SonicPoints would reboot randomly and were not compatible with many of the Mac devices we had in our environment. SonicWall support was atrocious and since then have been sold several times.
