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."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."
"The solution is very stable."
"Licensing costs are competitive with other solutions on the market."
"There is a feature where you can use Bluetooth. You can set up a Bluetooth pairing connection and do the configuration through your phone."
"It's an excellent product. They're high-quality switches, and nothing has failed in the time that we've had them."
"It is pretty easy to implement the product."
"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."
"The technical support is fantastic!"
"The product is simple to manage."
"It is a stable solution."
"There are many good points about this product. Number one, they are very stable, and easy to configure and manage."

"They should provide training courses for certification, and have it available on the internet."
"The biggest issue right now is the delivery timeline. It takes too long to get the product."
"The firmware in this solution has a lot of bugs that become noticeable when you have complex implementations."
"In the next release, I would like to see network access control on the switches themselves. I would like to see security functionalities when it comes to monitoring the bit of the wireless section of the switches."
"I would like to see them integrate a monitoring solution."
"We have had problems with the cooling fans on these switches."
"It would be good if I could get a 24-port, 10 gig module."
"I would like to see something like a Cisco Prime, an application controlling the entire system, switches, and access points."
"It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud."
"The solution needs to improve layer 2 switches."
"We have issues with the stability."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"The availability could be improved."
"Its security features need improvement."
