We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and H3C 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."This solution is really easy to use. It is much easier to use than Cisco. It's got a nice web interface for stepping up and an added warranty."
"When it comes to basic L2 switching, we've found that Aruba switches are very user-friendly in terms of configuration and management. I haven't had the opportunity to utilize Aruba Central for managing the switches yet, so I can't speak to that aspect. However, overall, we've found the deployment process for Aruba switches to be very straightforward."
"The cloud configuration is the most valuable feature of this solution. Watching in the cloud, propagating the actual devices themselves and the management of devices that are remote."
"It is pretty easy to implement the product."
"The most valuable feature is that it's very easy to configure."
"With Aruba, I like its stability and lifetime warranty."
"It is a very good device for our company. It is stable and very scalable."
"This is a very stable product with good performance."
"To date, it has proven to be highly reliable. We have encountered no issues or challenges with it thus far."
"Offering a five-year warranty, compared to competitors' one-year warranties, is a unique advantage of H3C switches."
"A good high-performance solution."
"We can configure the switch stack on the internet. Other vendors do not offer this facility. It is fast and easy to manage."
"The best feature of H3C Ethernet Switches is their reliability."
"H3C Ethernet Switches is a cheap solution."
"H3C Ethernet Switches have a fast delivery time."
"In my opinion, Aruba's new features, like the new firmware, need to be improved."
"The templates to automate our switches need improvement."
"There is an issue with Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), but it is escaping me. We aren't using this feature yet, but it is something we are considering."
"I would like to see easier learning and configuration from previous switch deployments."
"I would like to see something like a Cisco Prime, an application controlling the entire system, switches, and access points."
"Aruba Switches could improve the monitoring and increase the scope of their online portal to cover cloud and on-premise deployments."
"I would say that the customization of the switches could be easier to configure."
"I am forced to consider changing products because other solutions have a better dashboard and a user-friendly interface."
"The only improvement needed is the significantly better lead time for delivery compared to other American products. In terms of technology, there isn't much difference, especially since X3 is a subsidiary of XP, and they use the same technology. However, the delivery time is notably better."
"H3C Ethernet Switches could improve by widening their product range."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Lacks decent cloud management."
"There should be more public tools for configuration and comparing products."
"To enhance H3C switches for the next release, improving the user interface is crucial."
"GUI needs to merge with CLI."
