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 Aruba care support and the lifetime warranty are very valuable aspects."
"The most valuable features of Aruba Switches are the routing protocol and the basic functionality."
"The most valuable features are stability, ease of management, and the monitoring tool."
"These switches have a good performance, and they are also quickly configurable."
"Aruba Switches are always innovating to bring new solutions to the market."
"Scalable and reliable solution for your network connectivity needs, with a straightforward setup."
"The most valuable features of Aruba Switches are the use of use and user-friendliness."
"Aruba's SameNet platform allows for a seamless transition from the data center to access switches, unlike Cisco, which has different operating systems for each."
"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"The tool has impacted our company's network costs and productivity in a perfect manner and percentage-wise, I can say it is 120 percent."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"It is easy to set up."
"The wiki page that describes the scripting and other features is very good."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"The performance has been good."
"The written documentation, all the available documentation, is often a little bit hard to find. The solution lacks documentation, especially on recent features. We have access directly to Aruba, Germany, so they are always helpful, but if you start, for instance, with something a little bit more complex like zero-touch provisioning, that would require a more comprehensive written piece."
"I would like to see something like a Cisco Prime, an application controlling the entire system, switches, and access points."
"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."
"Aruba's website should be localized to support the Indonesian language. The content of their website and the help desk should be in the Indonesian language."
"If we compare Aruba and Cisco at the data center layer, Cisco has its Nexus switch. Aruba provides the new 10000 series, but it does not compare with the Nexus switch."
"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."
"There are some growing pains with Aruba Central. When you first launch the wireless access points or switches, a lot of updates are needed to get Aruba Central ready, especially on the access points, so the initial deployment time could improve. I would hope that I could just turn it on and leave the updates until later on. The switches themselves probably did okay. I'm primarily referring to the wireless access points. There was a lot of back and forth before everything was in sync. It took hours."
"This solution could be improved if it offered long term support on a specific model or product."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"Technical support could be better."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
"It happens that you may find your network is down, if you reboot the switch, they come up. However, sometimes, they reset themselves. That's a big issue."
"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."
"In medium to large sectors, there's a necessity for managing aspects like proxy firewalls."
