We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and Broadcom StrataDNX 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 Aruba switch feature is the lifetime warranty. It is a plus point in the budget."
"Aruba is very easy to use, the GUI is very good and the command line is quite similar to Cisco, so it is very easy to configure."
"Management-wise, this is a good solution."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its monitoring capabilities."
"Aruba's SameNet platform allows for a seamless transition from the data center to access switches, unlike Cisco, which has different operating systems for each."
"Licensing costs are competitive with other solutions on the market."
"The initial setup is quite easy."
"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."
"The good thing about the StrataDNX is that the Broadcom family is very interchangeable, so they work well with different optical transceivers."
"Easy to integrate with any of the other hardware platforms."
"There is an issue with Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), but it is escaping me. We aren't using this feature yet, but it is something we are considering."
"I would like to see a lower price on the device."
"We have needed to upgrade software to fix some challenges we experienced. After downloading the latest version of Aruba, these were fixed."
"There are some growing pains with Aruba Central. When you first launch the wireless access points or switches, a lot of updates are needed to get Aruba Central ready, especially on the access points, so the initial deployment time could improve. I would hope that I could just turn it on and leave the updates until later on. The switches themselves probably did okay. I'm primarily referring to the wireless access points. There was a lot of back and forth before everything was in sync. It took hours."
"I would prefer it if they reduced the cost of the switches and the access points."
"They should provide training courses for certification, and have it available on the internet."
"In my opinion, Aruba's new features, like the new firmware, need to be improved."
"There is room for improvement in the customer service and support team."
"The number of surfaces that can be handled by the chipset could be increased."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
