"The LAN features give us exactly what we need."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We don't mind the cost in general."
"One of the biggest things in HPE ProCurve that I like, though not necessarily a feature, is the HPE warranty because it's probably better than any of the other vendors that we deal with, as it has a lifetime replacement. Feature-wise, the web interface of HPE ProCurve is typically pretty good and I like that as well."
"We have found the solution to be entirely stable."
"This is a very reliable solution."
"The network management solutions that they have is great."
"The web page interface is very convenient and easy to use for setting up your feedback loops."
"There are some issues with the network firmware being deleted from the switches."
"I would like to see better third-party integration with third-party systems."
"A customer expressed dissatisfaction with the color of the switches, preferring black over the current color, which is close to white. While the color is not a personal concern, my earlier preference was for all products to be extendable in one large stack since some equipment limits stacking to four elements instead of eight."
"n general, the way the product is put together is not well done."
"There is no OEM support in India so RMAs need to be sent to France, which takes a long time if the hardware is faulty."
"HPE ProCurve's web interface is old, and I have to log in on each device separately, making them the product's shortcomings that need improvement."
"The solution's pricing could be made cheaper."
"An area for improvement in HPE ProCurve is the web interface not being as robust because you still have to go to the COI to make modifications or look at the exact configuration."
"There is one proprietary function they lack, and I can't remember what it was called, but it monitors the ports, and then every 10 seconds if the port is down, it can divert the traffic somewhere else."
"Procurve would work better if it had more options like the web environment."
"I don't have any recommendations for areas of improvement."
"The product must provide something similar to Cisco’s command-line interface."
"The solution doesn't have web-based management, which is why we've moved to a different solution."
