Aruba Central

Aruba Central itself is one of the biggest "bill of false goods" I've ever seen. During the sales process they tout full GUI management of switches and APs all in one single pane of glass. Absolutely not. I've had Central for a year and could have easily set everything up via CLI and saved a TON of time. Central itself is very buggy, missing countless key features, and every action requires you to navigate through 10 pages. This sh!tty app is just the icing on the cake of false promises.

App rarely works. I have to reinstall almost every time I want to give it an opportunity to change my mind, gets stuck at initiating. Barcode scanning worked once, very slowly and definitely wouldn't use for more than mere curiosity. Working for an Aruba Partner and having multiple customers, can't even dream on an option to select the Aruba Central Zone and Client to use for the session if the simplified interface doesn't even work.

Scan of barcodes does not work. I was not able to scan any bar codes, either on shipping box or device itself. We tried various iPhone or Android (Sony Ericsonn) devices, but we were not able to scan code even on direct daylight. I cannot recommend it.

Yeah.. it's pretty horrible. I know 0 coding and could've made a better app with one of those pre-built drag and drop app makers.. it's actually pretty embarrassing that a multi billion dollar company has their name on this.

Just sits on initializing, occasionally it loads, but even then can only scan in ap's. Mostly useless.

Really not useful at all. Using PC and a browser is the only valid tool, and trying to use the app with more than 5-10 AP's is hopeless.

This app is really useful when it is working but without giving any error sometimes it donot load the equioment information. i think it is time to udate the app wirh reported/known problems since last update in Mar 2020.

Doesn't work. It shows we have zero out of zero devices. All groups are empty.

Got it to work once. Then stuck initialising. Just too unreliable to use.

Need to add more features; Insight, network reporting etc.

Stuck on initializing. Never opens.

Unable to scan any bar codes with Nokia 8 phone

Doesn't load APP. It is useless for SDWAN

Keeps initializing for ever and don't allow tô log in

Worst AAP, not opening at all.

This app is completely rubbish.

Stuck at the initializing process

Never would login

Can't login anymore. Just stays on the initializing screen. Before when I could log in, it had a very limited feature set. You won't be convincing any Meraki users to switch to Aruba with this app. Update:Feb2021. Still broken. Useless app.

Waste application

I was stuck at initialize screen until I uninstalled and reinstalled. Features are purely for performance at a glance.

It's very basic. iPad version has much more. Look forward to any upcoming improvements.

I created a new user limited to a specific group but this user can see all devices from Aruba Central android APP. Bar code Scan constantly fails

Low featureset and adding ap with barcodes constantly fails

It will not let me login. Keeps saying "please check your credentials". Those credentials work fine to get me in to the web version.

Easy to use

Great tool
