"The cloud configuration is the most valuable feature of this solution. Watching in the cloud, propagating the actual devices themselves and the management of devices that are remote."
"The most valuable feature is the Aruba Smart Rate Port."
"The solution's stability is really great. We found it very solid."
"It's an excellent product. They're high-quality switches, and nothing has failed in the time that we've had them."
"There is a limited lifetime warranty with the switches, so if we have any problems, the switch is replaced very quickly."
"Very easy and quick to setup and provide a nice dashboard providing a view of everything."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is a stable solution."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is stable."
"My work is able to continue because the switches are reliable."
"The product offers a very professional experience."
"Linksys switches help us manage connected equipment because we can see the historical data on all devices connected to this switch."
"The product is great for networking."
"I am impressed with the tool's features like routing, Layer 2 security, and port security."
"The command-line interface could be easier to use, perhaps having voice control."
"I'm not sure if they have the core switch series as well."
"The element of security always can be improved. If the solution continues to improve its security functionality, it will continue to be a great product."
"In my opinion, Aruba's new features, like the new firmware, need to be improved."
"The main issue we had with the Aruba Switches was that they would heat up easily when placed outside. We have two locations with no cover in the corridor and it's a historical building. We experienced outages on the first batch of Aruba Switches we received, which we never had with the Dell Switches, for example, even though Dell Switches are not as well-known. However, the Dell Switches had been outside for a few years and we never had any issues with them. In contrast, we encountered an issue with the Aruba Switch after only one week of being outside when it shut down in security mode."
"From an improvement perspective, I want Aruba Switches to have a longer life since it doesn't work properly after five years of use."
"I would say that the customization of the switches could be easier to configure."
"If you work for a small business, then Cisco would be best."
"It would be ideal if they could do more configurations and offer more flexibility. Right now, it's not flexible at all."
"Some experts say that the price may be lower or that the ethernet switches are complex to set up and manage, maybe because of limited port density, supports, and quality of service, like capabilities."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches could improve their price, it is high."
"In the next release I would really love to see a list option."
"The installation could be simplified."
"They need to develop better UI. Other products have a nice GUI."
"Scalability is an area that can be improved."
"The problem with installation is not the installation process, but the building. Sometimes our building has a high ceiling, so installation is hard."
