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."We use Aruba Instant On Switches for general communication, sending files, and going to the internet."
"Setup is easy."
"It is quite easy to maintain from the software point of view."
"It is easy for deployment and configuration."
"The solution is suitable for small businesses and small offices."
"The solution has a simple deployment and zero border."
"The stability is fine. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. Almost a ten on a ten."
"Instant On Switches' best feature is the 1930, which is stackable."
"The most valuable features of HPE ProCurve are the reports, lifetime warranty, and CLI."
"It has an excellent menu system where you can use both the CLI and a menu system and the GUI version. They have three options for manipulating, updating, and changing the switch, which we like."
"The GUI makes it easy to configure, manage, and work with."
"It has a lifetime warranty, that includes lifetime updates."
"The user interface is simple to use."
"The product's stability is good. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We have found the solution to be entirely stable."
"This is a very reliable solution."
"The product's startup speed is very bad, as it is very slow."
"In the next version, they should add a firewall from a single source."
"It could have an MSP portal version."
"In general, mostly in Instant On series, if we could have much more control on the switches, at least. We'd like a CLI access so that, when we want to do some advanced configurations we could."
"They should extend the marketing and talk about Aruba's success stories throughout the region."
"We are interested in acquiring a firewall that provides a comprehensive solution. In other words, we're seeking a firewall that encompasses multiple aspects, such as exceptional switches and active phone functionalities."
"The solution does not have any console access. For example, if you do not have internet access on your side and you need to configure anything, you should at least have CLI access to do something or manage the solution to put to some IP. It will only work if we have a TSCT on the network."
"We would like to see more documentation."
"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."
"The pricing model could be improved in HPE ProCurve."
"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."
"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."
"The interface we have could be better."
"The dashboards could be improved to be more interesting."
"We do occasionally have issues with the solution and need to change out the switches sometimes. This can be due to the fan, but, in most cases, it's because the power supply was broken."
"I would like to see integration with HPE OneView."
