What customers say
Customers highly value the HPE Aruba 9004 Gateway for its robust performance and enterprise-grade reliability, especially within the Aruba Central ecosystem. Its high throughput and integrated security features are consistently praised for demanding branch and SD-WAN needs. The primary drawback centers on cost and complexity. Initial setup requires specialized expertise, and the total cost of ownership, driven by complex licensing for ongoing management, presents a significant concern for budget-conscious users. This gateway is best suited for large organizations prioritizing top-tier performance and centralized control over simplicity and lower initial investment.
