We performed a comparison between HPE Ethernet Switches and Mellanox 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."HPE Ethernet Switches are easy to configure."
"The simplicity of the commands is most valuable. The commands are the same for several devices."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"What I like the most is the management system integrated with the HP system."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the interface and configuration. It's very easy to use."
"It is a stable product."
"The most valuable feature is the IRF."
"We use HPE Ethernet Switches to provide solutions for the hotel, their guests, and IPTV."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the powerful hardware and the software is open. They're using Linux operating system. You can do and install many things, and it performs well."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its functionality."
"The tool is very configurable because it runs on a Linux operating system."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the size, power consumption, and the vast amount of features."
"From what I've been told, a valuable feature of Mellanox switches is they're quite user-friendly."
"It is a very easy-to-use product."
"There is some improvement needed for the power supply of the solution."
"It is not very stable."
"It's gone up in price in the last 12 months."
"Configuration can be complex."
"The solution's throughput should be increased because we often get stuck when it comes to IPTV streaming."
"When we have a lot of clients on the system, we lose signal and have to restart our antenna."
"Sometimes, we encounter the need for new technologies, especially when we require higher bandwidth. If we can't find what we need with HPE Ethernet Switches, we explore options from other vendors like Cisco."
". There is room for improvement in pricing. One box shouldn't require additional installations. We need a package deal with licenses that are usable for different tasks. Right now, we need a license for every additional feature, which adds up."
"The scalability is working fine at the moment, but there's always room for improvement. As of right now, I don't know of any improvements to suggest."
"The configuration is a bit different from Cisco, and therefore, for me at least, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"Mellanox Switches were easier before Nvidia bought Mellanox and then their new version of the operating system changed. They started with Ennui, and now they only use Linux. If they returned to their previous CLI it would be a good option for starters. The new CLI is more difficult to use but more powerful than the older one. It has its advantages."
"Mellanox Switches could improve by adding some features that can make it easier for integrating the switches in some managing and monitoring platforms, such as Elastic or similar software for monitoring data with the data center in a more holistic way."
"If you compare this solution with Cisco, utilization in Cisco is more popular and it is more friendly."
