We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and Huawei 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."These switches have a good performance, and they are also quickly configurable."
"I like the number of available throughputs and its ability to have different speeds of ethernet cards or fiber-optic SFPs. It's a core switch, and you can configure it as per your requirements. All the configuration details are well documented on the HP website or Aruba website, and one can easily refer to those and find all the relevant commands from the documentation itself. It's also easy to maintain this solution. It's also cheaper than competing products."
"Aruba is very easy to use, the GUI is very good and the command line is quite similar to Cisco, so it is very easy to configure."
"Scalable and reliable solution for your network connectivity needs, with a straightforward setup."
"It's stable."
"Management-wise, this is a good solution."
"We use this solution for small and middle sized offices across different locations. The switches connect to the remote sites for distribution to the end user."
"The most valuable features are the access point, fire control for clients, majority control, platform control in SSIGF, WiFi networking, and area monitoring."
"Huawei Ethernet switches are easy to use and can be managed using either the GUI or via the command-line."
"The required functionalities align with telecom requirements and have improved from a capacity perspective."
"One scenario where Huawei Ethernet Switches improved network efficiency was last year when a customer needed switches with 10 gigabits, which are not very common in the market. Huawei provided this kind of switch, enabling the customer to upgrade their network from 1 gigabit to 10 gigabit speeds across all devices."
"In terms of the most valuable features, LAN switching is more comfortable and valuable in the network. It is easy to configure and easy to deploy. It is helpful for the installation and it is easy to troubleshoot issues. It's an easy product to understand. It's a good solution."
"The most valuable features are that it is easy to use, easy to configure, it's priced well, and the operating system is easy to understand."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches are both scalable and stable."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches also have effective network switching features."
"This product is competitive technically with the best products in the class."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing because the Aruba Central licenses add a high cost."
"I would like to see a lower price on the device."
"From an improvement perspective, I want Aruba Switches to have a longer life since it doesn't work properly after five years of use."
"There is a long delay in receiving Aruba Switches when ordered. There should not be a long delay in receiving the solution. Additionally, there should be a lifetime warranty to compete with other solutions."
"We've had issues with availability."
"We don't have visibility in Aruba Switches and we are thinking of switching to Fortiswitch because it has visibility."
"The command-line interface could be easier to use, perhaps having voice control."
"This product could be improved with additional security features."
"I didn't like the Huawei Switches because of the different versions resetting the configuration issue. Huawei doesn't support Layer 3 modes while TOE and ARP have some issues."
"I have issues with the support's communication language. The tool's UI can be better."
"The performance has been slow at times."
"The GUI could be improved. It could be much more adaptable."
"I would like to see some improvements in the access layer switch that is available in Aruba."
"Huawei has a lot of issues; it's not in sync properly. For instance, if the ONT is down, there's another problem with another ONT that is not functioning correctly. Even after configuring the siding, I cannot reach some other side, and I don't know why it's happening."
"The product’s pricing needs improvement. It could be more stable as well."
"I would like the tool to improve its operational efficiency, speed, security features, and functionalities."
