We performed a comparison between HPE Ethernet Switches and Meraki MS 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."The most valuable feature is that they all have PoE. It's one of the most important things that we need in the EdgeSwitch."
"It's stable and performing well."
"The solution is easy to set up and easy to use, unlike, for example, Cisco, which is more complex."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"The solution performs well for its price."
"Switching to HPE Ethernet Switches greatly improved our network. We used to have both Cisco and HPE Ethernet Switches. Our network performance has increased by 300 percent."
"It is a stable product."
"A very robust solution."
"The performance is pretty good."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"The most valuable feature is the dashboard because it makes it easy to manage all of the switches. It's easy to turn them up and get it configured."
"Meraki MS Switches have a very user-friendly dashboard and the policies are straightforward for sending them to the devices and blocking sites."
"The dashboard and the interface, in general, are good features."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to segment my infrastructure between phones, security systems, and other tasks."
"The interface is great. It's easy to understand for the customer."
"This product has QoS, decent visibility of what's going on, and it's a managed switch."
"A lower price would be an improvement because we always want to reduce our costs."
"The installation can be quite complex. However, that may not be the fault of HP and is rather more related to the way our infrastructure is arranged."
"The solution could be more stable."
"VLAN can be improved, but I have to check that with the company expert. I have different switch models, but they don't have all the same interface. I don't know whether lower-level switches don't have the same interface as the better quality ones. I might have two different model types."
"If there is any fluctuation in power then we will face an outage with our POE switches, so this is something that should be improved."
"Installation could be made more secure."
"I would like to see more updates for the solution."
"We have had some rare occasions with glitches, so the stability can be improved."
"They need to work on prioritizing different types of data on the network, whether it's voice, data, video, et cetera. Video needs to be prioritized in a much better way, for example."
"Communication of compliance risk is awkward at best and threatening at worst. It needs to be addressed."
"Clients are very confused by technical support. They seem to have trouble reaching Meraki to get the assistance they need."
"It is not compliant with the requirements of specific industries that want to set it up within a particular region or country."
"The product demonstrates poor price per performance when compared with its competitors."
"The reporting could be improved and could be more granular."
"I don't think that the cost is a problem, but sometimes the price requires convincing the customer of the value."
"Meraki MS Switches could improve the process of installing firmware."
