We performed a comparison between Dell PowerConnect Switches 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."Its throughout and compatibility are the most valuable."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a stable and reliable product covered with good warranties and prices that ensure deep discounts for partners."
"This is a very reliable solution."
"The most valuable features are the jumbo frames and the stacking."
"Dell PowerConnect Switches are easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is simplicity."
"We have these switches installed in an environment with hardware from many other vendors, and so far, so good."
"The technology is good and the interface is simple. We haven't had any bugs, disconnections or delays."
"It's easy to manage and configure. The configurations can be exported and imported to another solution."
"The product's stability is good. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"This is a very reliable solution."
"The solution is fast and inexpensive."
"HPE ProCurve offers a very good value proposition compared to that of other switches and is very energy-efficient."
"We have found the solution to be entirely stable."
"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."
"The user interface is simple to use."
"Accessibility and management could be improved."
"The pricing could always be a bit lower."
"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."
"The IOS software that is used on the switches could be improved."
"Dell is sometimes slow to provide updates to firmware."
"The solution's ROI for generic networking is not extraordinary."
"Their hardware is not reliable, it's faulty."
"The network features are not good."
"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."
"The CLI is a bit confusing. It is not the easiest to manage, especially if you come from a Cisco environment."
"If we're aiming for an improvement, focus on enhancing security features in HPE ProCurve, particularly in terms of filtering."
"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."
"It might be best if it offers better scalability."
"An area for improvement in HPE ProCurve is the web interface not being as robust because you still have to go to the COI to make modifications or look at the exact configuration."
"They should learn from other vendors, such as Cisco. They all have a few specific routing features. HPE doesn't have any cheap BGP solution."
