Thanks, John. Way back when Airwave was its own company, and did fair amount of testing AMP for articles I wrote for Network Computing. I think I may have touched it once after Aruba bought Airwave (man, oh man I was hoping Cisco would buy them as an early WCS customer). So… I feel like I have at least a conversational familiarity with the UI, etc. and you’re hitting on my concerns- like how often does it get updated and are there any gaps in its ability to config controllers/APs. And.. scalability, VM capabilities, etc.

Reporting is much better than PI (at least, the last time I looked, which has been awhile). Management of Cisco WLC & AP configs is good, but not great. Mainly, this is due to them not keeping up with the latest WLC code changes. But, it is still quite manageable. will be glad to talk more off line about it or give a quick demo. The last I heard, the University of Texas (Austin) is also using the Airwave product.
