@JohnGibbs These are just my two cents, for what it is worth. I am not a rep, partner, or employee of either company. I am not quite sure where the Cisco catching up to Aruba WiFi comes from. I have a lot of experience with both, and IMO think it is the opposite when it comes to enterprise grade, dense deployments of WiFi. Both perform well, but we cannot forget that it wasn't until last year the Aruba added centralized RF management via their Mobility Master portfolio. Until then, all RF decisions were being done locally at each AP (ARM), with each AP thinking of channel selection and power levels from a "what's best for me as a single AP"method. The vast majority of Aruba deployments are still not on that 8.x code with MM intelligence, so they are still working to put the issues related to waves of APs jumping channel to channel behind them. Yes, I know, we can do static channels under the assumption that nothing will change to ruin our channel plans after we leave a site. But, we have to be ok with a cell going down and staying down until local interference leaves on its own or we go manually retune a site.... This, static channeling, works well in a venue with free WiFi, take it as it is, but not in enterprise, where workers going offline in that cell stops enterprise productivity or drops the c-suites ability to continue a video conference. That being said, there are somethings at the client management side, i.e. AirGrouping and captive access for guests, that Aruba still may do better, but without reliable RF delivery and client connectivity, does it really matter.... Here's another example of them playing catch-up; Aruba published videos and openly talked about how much a waste of time dual-5GHz radios were when Cisco announced, and how they could never really get you the benefits Cisco advertised. Then this year Aruba comes out with their 350 series. Now, all the sudden it makes sense to dual-5GHz radio designed APs. Again, this is just my two cents and my comments are not representative of the beliefs or views of any associations I have.
