Network and Security Engineer at a security firm with 11-50 employees
Exceptionally stable, cost-effective, and offers a user-friendly interface
Deploying Array AG Series isn't exactly simple as it requires expertise in handling SaaS solutions and involves a thorough study of the customer's network and requirements. Skill set and support assistance are crucial during installation. For a single-box, basic configuration, you might pull it off in about five hours, a day at most. However, achieving stability takes longer, as VPN products need time to settle in an organization. Depending on user complaints and day-to-day issues, it could take a while to get everything running smoothly. In our deployment experience with Array AG Series, five engineers, including myself, were involved in executing over twenty VPN projects across India in the last four to five years. These were substantial projects, taking about a week to stabilize the solution. As for maintenance, it is neither simple nor overly complicated. It requires careful attention because any issues can have a global impact on users over the internet. Maintenance for a single site typically requires the attention of one or two individuals.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"What I appreciate most about the Array AG Series, and what our clients value as well, is its exceptional stability."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Remote Access Points is the manageability from the central cloud platform."
"The authentication features are valuable."
"The tool's most valuable features are its ease of configuration and deployment."
"What I like best about Aruba Remote Access Points is that it's pretty easy to set up."
"The Aruba Remote Access Points are simple, not expensive, and very intuitive for management and configuration."
"Overall, I would rate Aruba Remote Access Points nine out of ten. I can definitely recommend them to other users."
"The product is very flexible. So far the stability of the solution has been good."
"There are no bad features in Aruba Remote Access Points. Every feature is customized to meet customer requirements according to their limitations, and we can make use of all features to benefit us as needed."
 

Cons

"The main area for improvement with Array AG Series is its support services."
"The product needs an increased level of security for the end user."
"The device requires reconfiguration if we use a standalone setup because the battery fault leads to all configurations resetting."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"I would rate stability as five out of ten. Sometimes it is stable, and sometimes it is not."
"It would help if the remote APs had some kind of SoHo environment with built-in firewall features. That way it could connect directly in a client-to-site type of environment, or a site-to-site VPN environment. That way users could have a complete office setup without coming to the private cloud."
"In terms of areas for improvement in Aruba Remote Access Points, when planning for the customer's end, you need to highlight the precautions against EMF emissions and environmental emissions, as well as power management limitations."
"They can add more graphical reporting systems so that network admins and system admins get more information about user usage, such as which user, what they use, and when they use it."
"Our difficulty with Aruba is that the product and the license are two different items. So, if we are adding an access point, we have to pay for two items. We have to pay to add the access point in the controller and we have to pay for the license."
