We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches and HPE 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."We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"The product is stable. It does have only one power supply. They don't have a redundant power supply."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"It is a stable product."
"HPE is very reliable because it has a lifetime warranty, so the switches didn't give us any problems."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable product is the unmanaged HP switch."
"The solution is easy to set up and easy to use, unlike, for example, Cisco, which is more complex."
"Stable and scalable."
"We use HPE Ethernet Switches to provide solutions for the hotel, their guests, and IPTV."
"I like that HPE's management functions are GUI-based, so it doesn't rely on command lines."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"The network connection should be improved."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"The next release would benefit from adding a central management that could be deployable on premise and allow you to see the layout of topology."
"The pricing could be better."
"The solution would be easier to set up if its GUI could improve or if it had a wizard."
"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."
"It would be better if they improve the implementation of SD-WAN."
"The solution could improve by having more integration options."
"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."
"Some users might look for high-speed switching like Cisco or Nexus switches, which can handle larger volumes. HPE's current offerings aren't as robust in that area, but they could improve."
