We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and Huawei Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Management-wise, this is a good solution."
"The solution is very stable."
"Aruba Switches are definitely stable."
"It is slightly more price effective than Juniper and it has a slightly larger range."
"It's a reliable product that you can depend on."
"It's stable."
"We can scale as needed."
"We like that it is very easy to manage the product through the cloud."
"Pricing-wise, Huawei is quite good."
"Huawei Ethernet switches are easy to use and can be managed using either the GUI or via the command-line."
"The most valuable feature is the audit systems. I also like that it can synchronize on the alternate configuration of products together at the same time."
"The HTTP features for security are very good. We use all of the regular features."
"One scenario where Huawei Ethernet Switches improved network efficiency was last year when a customer needed switches with 10 gigabits, which are not very common in the market. Huawei provided this kind of switch, enabling the customer to upgrade their network from 1 gigabit to 10 gigabit speeds across all devices."
"It integrates well."
"We have not encountered any issues in the locations where the product has been deployed. I am impressed with its performance and pricing."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches also have effective network switching features."
"I would like to see something like a Cisco Prime, an application controlling the entire system, switches, and access points."
"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."
"In my opinion, Aruba's new features, like the new firmware, need to be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see network access control on the switches themselves. I would like to see security functionalities when it comes to monitoring the bit of the wireless section of the switches."
"I don't think there is much to improve. I have seen that Aruba releases the patches on time, and it keeps upgrading the firmware. I have configured this device on an active basis. I don't think I have any bad reviews about the device's overall performance. In the next release, I would like Aruba to incorporate wireless controllers and build them into the chassis.If we can integrate a wireless module, we can have a segment dedicated to wireless infrastructure."
"The firmware in this solution has a lot of bugs that become noticeable when you have complex implementations."
"Aruba's operating system changes with every version."
"Aruba Switches could improve the monitoring and increase the scope of their online portal to cover cloud and on-premise deployments."
"The availability and the speed of the firmware updates are the only things wrong with Huawei. There are some vulnerabilities on the hardware."
"The configuration could be improved and deployment should be easier."
"Certain regulatory issues in a lot of countries cause limitations ."
"Devices should have the ability to configure more easily."
"One of the problems with Huawei is that when you receive a product quote from one of the vendors, you cannot get prices from the other ones because they register your request with Huawei."
"I have issues with the support's communication language. The tool's UI can be better."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement. It could be more stable as well."
"Huawei Switch can make further advancements, as the current CLI lacks functionality. The majority of tasks are performed through the CLI, making it difficult for those without technical expertise to work with. They should enhance the CLI of the access switches to make them more user-friendly. The GUI of the Ethernet Switches should also be improved to allow non-technical users to perform technical tasks with ease. Additionally, the documentation of the solution could improve."
