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 solution’s technical support is good."
"This is a very reliable solution."
"The product is reliable."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"The features I've found most valuable are that the product is very easy to configure and inexpensive."
"The product is cheap."
"We have these switches installed in an environment with hardware from many other vendors, and so far, so good."
"The most valuable feature of Dell PowerConnect Switches for me is the throughput. I also like that the product has more compatibility with Dell infrastructure, especially with EMC and new generation Dell servers. Dell PowerConnect Switches can also easily integrate with Dell servers, and this is another pro."
"The web page interface is very convenient and easy to use for setting up your feedback loops."
"ProCurve is easy to configure and to know how to create each connection and configuration."
"The GUI makes it easy to configure, manage, and work with."
"Inter-VLAN is a great feature."
"One of the biggest things in HPE ProCurve that I like, though not necessarily a feature, is the HPE warranty because it's probably better than any of the other vendors that we deal with, as it has a lifetime replacement. Feature-wise, the web interface of HPE ProCurve is typically pretty good and I like that as well."
"Its easy manageability is most valuable. It's easy to manage."
"HPE ProCurve has plenty of features."
"HPE ProCurve is used to connect servers and storage in the data center."
"The one issue you face in the industry there is always some planned obsolescence in these switches."
"The configuration should be improved."
"Because of the stackings you lose some boards and switches."
"Scalability, especially with the power connect series is something that you have to take into account before starting the project because any changes to an ongoing project can be difficult."
"When it comes to the configuration, there should be documentation and interactive help available to assist people who have experience with products from other vendors."
"We've only been using the solution for half a year. We haven't run into any issues, but maybe over time, that may change. It's too soon to tell. Offhand, there aren't any features that are lacking."
"The solution's ROI for generic networking is not extraordinary."
"The pricing could always be a bit lower."
"I don't have any recommendations for areas of improvement."
"The interface we have could be better."
"The pricing model could be improved in HPE ProCurve."
"Since we transfer from one gigabit to ten gigabits of information, in a future release, it would benefit to have more high-speed ports."
"One of the weakest points of this solution is its on-premise. We are not able to do all we need to with the CLI."
"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 solution doesn't have web-based management, which is why we've moved to a different solution."
"There should be faster interfaces on the switch, such as 25 gigabits."
