We performed a comparison between Cisco Nexus and HPE ProCurve based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two LAN Switching solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is performance."
"It's easy to use."
"The implementation was straightforward and the product is stable."
"This solution has allowed us to better prepare our network for 10-gigabit."
"It is a scalable, reliable, stable and efficient solution."
"This product has improved the way our organization functions in the way that the rack-based design allowed us to eliminate chassis-based designs. The chassis design is more complicated to manage and maintain in field operations."
"This solution provides all of the routing and searching features that we need."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its speed."
"The network management solutions that they have is great."
"It is easy to deploy."
"HPE ProCurve's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly."
"We have found the solution to be entirely stable."
"This is a very reliable solution."
"The user interface is simple to use."
"It's easy to manage and configure. The configurations can be exported and imported to another solution."
"Its easy manageability is most valuable. It's easy to manage."
"They need to understand that when we call them and have an issue, it's our production and sometimes they want us to do repairs that would cause other issues. That's the biggest problem."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required. Cisco Nexus should lower its current prices."
"The software is not as mature as it could be and needs some integration improvements with other orchestrators."
"I would like to see a central management solution in order to have all of the equipment in one place."
"The implementation process could be easier, which is something that should be improved."
"Areas in which the solution have room for improvement are the interface, management, and reporting."
"I would like to see more automation and for it to be easier to use."
"The product lacks options for integration with other market products that would allow us more flexibility."
"The solution doesn't have web-based management, which is why we've moved to a different solution."
"The CLI is a bit confusing. It is not the easiest to manage, especially if you come from a Cisco environment."
"HPE ProCurve could improve by making their command more similar to other solutions, such as the access codes. There should be a standard. Additionally, if the configurations could be done from the cloud would be a benefit and the port uplink speed should improve."
"The dashboards could be improved to be more interesting."
"I would like to see some kind of packet tracer where people can study how the switch is operating."
"The solution should offer different gigabit interfaces. Right now, they have ten gigabits. However, for our needs, we only need one gigabit. We don't need 24 or 48 ports. We only need eight to ten. HPE should introduce into their portfolio some smaller and more compact options."
"The solution's pricing could be made cheaper."
"The pricing model could be improved in HPE ProCurve."
