HPE-Aruba

Strengths: Gartner said clients report ’a high degree of satisfaction’ with Aruba's ClearPass offerings, which provide guest access, device profiling, posture assessment and on-boarding. A wide variety of HPE switches come with hardware lifetime warranty and the company also offers free technical support for three years on most Aruba switches, HPE FlexNetwork and OfficeConnect.

Weaknesses: Aruba's AirWave and ClearPass offerings are supported on Aruba switches, but not at the same level of support and functionality available on legacy HPE switches. Aruba Central lacks the same functionality as its ClearPass and AirWave offerings.
