We performed a comparison between HPE ProCurve and Juniper QFabric 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."Inter-VLAN is a great feature."
"It has a lifetime warranty, that includes lifetime updates."
"The user interface is simple to use."
"We don't mind the cost in general."
"The GUI makes it easy to configure, manage, and work with."
"The solution is fast and inexpensive."
"HPE ProCurve is used to connect servers and storage in the data center."
"Its easy manageability is most valuable. It's easy to manage."
"The 40 gig backbone InterConneX was valuable for our use case. It is even faster now. QFabric has spine-leaf technology or topology, which basically makes every single hop only one hop away in terms of connecting from one device to another. It is a pretty good and robust solution. It works pretty well in terms of scalability, and their technical support is amazing."
"It is known for being agile, flexible, and cost-effective when working with various vendors."
"Juniper QFabric has various advantages including scalability, simplicity, performance, and flexibility."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the fabric backplane having upwards of 160 GB of communication. It is a top-of-the-rack solution where you have your directors sitting in the main area and then you have your nodes expanded out to your multiple cabinets. It has a very good design and could be your server backbone."
"The vendor maintains the product well."
"QFabric supports redundancy and includes all of the enterprise and service provider features that customers would want in data center or service provider network."
"It's user-friendly."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"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."
"If we're aiming for an improvement, focus on enhancing security features in HPE ProCurve, particularly in terms of filtering."
"It might be best if it offers better scalability."
"Since we transfer from one gigabit to ten gigabits of information, in a future release, it would benefit to have more high-speed ports."
"The pricing model could be improved in HPE ProCurve."
"Procurve would work better if it had more options like the web environment."
"The product must provide something similar to Cisco’s command-line interface."
"There is one proprietary function they lack, and I can't remember what it was called, but it monitors the ports, and then every 10 seconds if the port is down, it can divert the traffic somewhere else."
"It would be nice if Juniper provided the system integrator with training, similar to that of Cisco."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"The disruptive upgrade was an issue for us."
"Having support for all OpenFlow versions would be beneficial."
"It works too much on rebooting and there is some memory leakage."
"I do not use GUI's very much for switch stacks. I am always in the CLI. However, I do know that Juniper in the past has lacked on their GUI's, but they have been working on it."
"Improvements could be made to QFabric's life cycle management, particularly in maintaining stable versions and extending product support."
"The pricing structure could be more budget-friendly."
