App is a good start but needs more features
Hardware is working great, but app needs improvements and optimization. It’s sometimes slow to load, needs better sorting options for clients & devices, faster updating of data. Desperately needs dark mode.
Don’t use this app use web version instead
First of all stop deleting my review. You can’t take a little criticism and use it to make the app better???? This app is good for 2 things. Telling you a site is down and setting up a quick wifi. If you need to manage any devices or look into any issues then I suggest using the Aruba website from a PC. This app is missing all the QOL improvements that is needed to do any kind of actual real world troubleshooting. In the website I have the ability to add fields so I can view all device names, mac, ip, os, connection speed and Wi-Fi name all from ONE screen. In this app you have to look in an unnecessary amount of different locations just to view all that info for one device. If you have 50+ devices then good luck using the app. You also need to add a reboot all devices option so I don’t have to reboot 25 APs one at a time….
Acceptable but underwhelming
App works, but is underwhelming. InstantOn APs repeatedly reboot anytime the network gateway is offline making local lan, via Wi-Fi, useless as the wireless is offline while the APs look for the cloud controller. Local management for APs isn’t available. When InstantOn equipment is offline, the cloud controller doesn’t show last known config beyond last known internal AP. Cloud controller has no change log for admin changes. Cloud controller takes away all port control options for any port another instant on device is plugged into. Unable to edit multiple ports at once on switches. Makes me wonder about the quality of their enterprise equipment if the prosumer line is as unimpressive as it is.
Aruba is awesome!!
Aruba has the best bang for the buck it gives you enterprise class networking awesome stuff!
Not Intuitive
Been using it for over a year now, still can’t figure out how to get back to the Home Screen to view all sites without closing out and logging back in. Also needs a port reset check box (reset multiple) without have to deactivate>save, activate,save.
Needs to be able to switch between multiple Instant on accounts
I run AruIO at home and at work and for some friends To troubleshoot issues or keep an eye on things, I have to use two phones/iPads I wish to see a feature that allows one to sign in to multiple Aruba accounts in one app
Fine when it works, but always logs me out
When the app works it’s fine, it offers pretty basic control invisibility of your network. Every second or third time I open the app, I have to sign in with my username and password and do two factor authentication. This makes using it very frustrating. I wish there was an option for local management, but then I guess they couldn’t monitor all of our data in their cloud.
