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."The most valuable feature is the switches are reliable and replaced for free if anything goes wrong."
"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."
"Aruba offers better options when it comes to the area of scalability compared to what Cisco offers. Aruba has a better graphical user interface that helps users with the configuration part."
"It's an excellent product. They're high-quality switches, and nothing has failed in the time that we've had them."
"It is slightly more price effective than Juniper and it has a slightly larger range."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its monitoring capabilities."
"Scalable and reliable solution for your network connectivity needs, with a straightforward setup."
"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."
"The best feature of H3C Ethernet Switches is their reliability."
"To date, it has proven to be highly reliable. We have encountered no issues or challenges with it thus far."
"A good high-performance solution."
"H3C Ethernet Switches have a fast delivery time."
"H3C Ethernet Switches is a cheap solution."
"We can configure the switch stack on the internet. Other vendors do not offer this facility. It is fast and easy to manage."
"Aruba's management suite has some room for improvement."
"The firmware in this solution has a lot of bugs that become noticeable when you have complex implementations."
"I would prefer it if they reduced the cost of the switches and the access points."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and the dashboard could be improved."
"I would like to see a lower price on the device."
"We would like to see centralized, cloud-based management."
"We have needed to upgrade software to fix some challenges we experienced. After downloading the latest version of Aruba, these were fixed."
"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."
"There should be more public tools for configuration and comparing products."
"H3C Ethernet Switches could improve by widening their product range."
"GUI needs to merge with CLI."
"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."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"Lacks decent cloud management."
