You can find drilldowns and reports of utilization, configuration states, security groups, literally anything you want to see. > > **Cons**: I am against the whole pay rent for license model that is pure company arbitrage that Aruba uses simply because it can. The learning curve exists especially for advanced configurations such as different CSfC deployments. This is because Aruba has its own names that are not standard in the community for different sorts of groups and settings, so it is something you will have to become familiar with. > > I recommend this of you have an enterprise deployment of Aruba APs. Probably not worthwhile using if you are using other OEM APs. ----- ### "My Experience With Aruba AirWave" — 5.0/5 > **Rosaria** | *1 May 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has handled IT management very well has been very smooth > > **Cons**: No flaws and Aruba AirWave has been smooth ----- ### "Wired and wireless network management system at scale" — 4.0/5 > **Łukasz** | *14 October 2022* | Consumer Electronics | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very good monitoring of WiFi infrastructure, VisualRF module for better understanding of the wireless network > > **Cons**: Difficult to manage AP configuration templates in text mode > > Very good for monitoring WiFi infrastructure with connected clients, but managing access points and switches needs some fine-tuning ----- ### "Aruba AirWave - Easy Network Monitoring and Mangement" — 5.0/5 > **Shawn** | *26 September 2023* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: For several years we used the older HP IMC to monitor and manage our wired network but it was not very user friendly and it also did not adapt well to our VM network or our wireless network which is a completely separate network from the wired. A few years ago we were able to get AirWave as part of a Mibs package and it was a game changer. We were able to monitor and manage our entire network from a single console now. > > **Cons**: The cost is the most prohibitive factor for AirWave and many other platforms similar to it as well. Which was our biggest hold up on getting the product in the first place. ----- ### "Excellent management platfrom" — 5.0/5 > **Matt** | *22 July 2021* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Airwave helps you manage, update and back up all devices that are compatible. It makes managing APs without the need for a controller and the over all feel is easy to use. > > **Cons**: Not all Aruba branded products are fully compatible with the airwave, which means you can't utilise all features that it has to offer, which can be a bit frustrating. > > Overall it's a great product and makes day to day work a lot easier, brings better visibility and deals with mundane tasks for you, which is a great help. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/425098/aruba-airwave?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/425098/aruba-airwave) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
