"It is not a very scalable solution."
"Since we transfer from one gigabit to ten gigabits of information, in a future release, it would benefit to have more high-speed ports."
"The user interface (UI) could be better."
"The solution's pricing could be made cheaper."
"There is one proprietary function they lack, and I can't remember what it was called, but it monitors the ports, and then every 10 seconds if the port is down, it can divert the traffic somewhere else."
"I don't have any recommendations for areas of improvement."
"HPE ProCurve could improve by making their command more similar to other solutions, such as the access codes. There should be a standard. Additionally, if the configurations could be done from the cloud would be a benefit and the port uplink speed should improve."
"The pricing model could be improved in HPE ProCurve."
"I would like to see some kind of packet tracer where people can study how the switch is operating."
