For the time-value the tech loses, that business could pay for an enterprise-grade switch. It gets worse each time a switch needs to be reconfigured, too.
They don't even have to rush out a GUI. Just re-enabling the command line option would save a tech hours of imbecilic repetition over 288 ports.
This product is, for sure, not ready to be sold for the market the hardware could serve. An 8-port home switch, sure. 48 ports with that web interface is...impracticable, to be polite.
They really, really need to compel the marketing department to allow them to re-enable the CLI. It's pretty clear somebody said, "That's too much value for the dollar! It'll eat our enterprise sales!" and the development team had to back off. It's a shame, because I would gladly replace five smaller Cisco SMB switches with two of these, and there's no chance of that happening while they are crippled by this under-developed interface.

Subject: Instant on cloud interface misses many essential functions
We sold 8 aruba 1930 switches to a client and tried to configure and manage them with Instant on cloud managment.
This management portal is missing the most basic configuration options and is use less for a good switch configuration.
Example: vlan taging only possible one port at a time!!! We have 6 48 port switches to configure!!!
STP configuration is hidden in the interface and it is not possible to set a root switch
We went back to the local web interface.
Please release a product when it is ready
