Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We didn't experience any stability or scalability issues until now with Aruba Switches"
"The most valuable aspect for our organization is the CX. It's wonderful."
"The most valuable feature is that it's very easy to configure."
"The initial installation of Aruba Switches is easy."
"I like the Aruba Central platform. It makes a lot of sense. The switches have a lot of great capabilities. Central can lockdown VLANs and control the apps and protocols. There are several built-in security features that I'm not utilizing. However, those capabilities are part of the reason I'm using enterprise switches in a small office. I like knowing that I can do these things when necessary."
"They provide great service in terms of replacing malfunctioning switches."
"The most valuable Aruba switch feature is the lifetime warranty. It is a plus point in the budget."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is its performance."
"To date, it has proven to be highly reliable. We have encountered no issues or challenges with it thus far."
"The best feature of H3C Ethernet Switches is their reliability."
"H3C Ethernet Switches is a cheap solution."
"A good high-performance solution."
"Offering a five-year warranty, compared to competitors' one-year warranties, is a unique advantage of H3C switches."
"H3C Ethernet Switches have a fast delivery time."
"We can configure the switch stack on the internet. Other vendors do not offer this facility. It is fast and easy to manage."
"The need to come up with a bit more flexibility in their range of models."
"My experience with Aruba's account manager hasn't been the greatest."
"We had an integration team do the setup of the solution."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and the dashboard could be improved."
"We had an issue with the hardware where one or two interfaces went down after one and a half years. This issue impacted only one or two interfaces, not the whole hardware."
"Aruba Switches cover lots of areas and support automated and IOPS and with the central products, but I think when we look at the solutions overall, IOPS devices are not covered so much in Aruba Central. We are in Croatia and it is a small country, I don't know how its situation is in Europe, America, or Asia."
"The biggest issue right now is the delivery timeline. It takes too long to get the product."
"It's a little less convenient for more simplified management needs."
"GUI needs to merge with CLI."
"H3C Ethernet Switches could improve by widening their product range."
"The only improvement needed is the significantly better lead time for delivery compared to other American products. In terms of technology, there isn't much difference, especially since X3 is a subsidiary of XP, and they use the same technology. However, the delivery time is notably better."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Lacks decent cloud management."
"To enhance H3C switches for the next release, improving the user interface is crucial."
"There should be more public tools for configuration and comparing products."
