I need to replace a bunch of ancient Cisco stuff. Also looking at other brands like Dell, Juniper and Extreme

    Yep. I replaced a bunch of ancient HP switches in a SMB with all Aruba. Works like a charm, and (at the time) used ones were dirt cheap.

    I’ve used them for years, I don’t use the cloud features just as stand alone. I’ve treated them very poorly in high temp and dirty environments and found them to be extremely reliable.

    I’ve used their switches and access points extensively. Great stuff IMO. As someone else said, they’re similar to Cisco in syntax.

    They also have all the high end features you’d need if you’re comparing to cicso and juniper.

    I have an old Aruba and it works great. The GUI is a bit meh, but considering ive only had to use it once the past like 2 years, owell.

    We did Fortiswitches rather then Aruba because we aren’t fond of HP. And with HP in the works to buy Juniper I don’t know how long we will keep our MX.

    Only used Unifi and their stuff is pretty solid. Better than Meraki where you never truly own your hardware.
