We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and Cisco Linksys 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."The solution has great open architecture."
"With Aruba, I like its stability and lifetime warranty."
"The solution is easy to use and quick to deploy."
"I like the Aruba Central platform. It makes a lot of sense. The switches have a lot of great capabilities. Central can lockdown VLANs and control the apps and protocols. There are several built-in security features that I'm not utilizing. However, those capabilities are part of the reason I'm using enterprise switches in a small office. I like knowing that I can do these things when necessary."
"They provide great service in terms of replacing malfunctioning switches."
"It can scale well."
"The Aruba care support and the lifetime warranty are very valuable aspects."
"The initial installation of Aruba Switches is easy."
"The solution is stable."
"It's stable and we never have to worry about it."
"The most valuable feature is that we can configure the security to suit our needs."
"The product is great for networking."
"It's very easy to configure URLs."
"Administration can be done using the web-based interface."
"I have found their security features the most valuable. These security features are supported on most of the other features. Similarly, the protocols and the standards are supported on other features, such as the stacking feature, the availability feature, internet channel, link application, and protocols. There are so many features on these features."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"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."
"The log viewer should be improved."
"Aruba is still losing out to Cisco, which continues to dominate the space. Aruba needs to continue to improve its product range in order to compete with Cisco's dominance."
"I would prefer it if they reduced the cost of the switches and the access points."
"I would like to see something like a Cisco Prime, an application controlling the entire system, switches, and access points."
"Aruba Switches cover lots of areas and support automated and IOPS and with the central products, but I think when we look at the solutions overall, IOPS devices are not covered so much in Aruba Central. We are in Croatia and it is a small country, I don't know how its situation is in Europe, America, or Asia."
"It would be better and easier for us to buy if the price were reduced."
"From an improvement perspective, I want Aruba Switches to have a longer life since it doesn't work properly after five years of use."
"The solution's price could be better."
"There is a four-month wait list for certified switches and licenses in Libya because they must be shipped from Dubai."
"The pricing for this solution needs to be improved."
"Endpoints need to be improved."
"It's no longer stable, the Wi-Fi on this device is no longer stable."
"It's an old tool that needs to be more competitive with other solutions that are available on the market such as HP, or Dell."
"Its scalability can be better. It is not suitable for enterprises. It is for small and medium businesses. It also needs system improvements. It needs new technology to improve the system."
"Linksys switches are expensive but scalable."
