We performed a comparison between Brocade Ethernet Switches, D-Link Ethernet Switches, and HPE Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The technical support is good."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"These switches are very easy to install because there is no configuration."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"There are many good points about this product. Number one, they are very stable, and easy to configure and manage."
"It is a stable solution."
"Its integration is the most valuable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"D-Link has a graphical interface that is easy to use. It is simple enough that our junior technicians can configure the switches."
"We use the solution for the network and ethernet connection."
"HPE Ethernet Switches have a lifetime warranty. I am using an old version of the solution, but I have heard the new models have incorporated a lot of new features, such as remote setup."
"Stable and scalable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the interface and configuration. It's very easy to use."
"We use HPE Ethernet Switches to provide solutions for the hotel, their guests, and IPTV."
"HPE Ethernet Switches are easy to configure."
"The speed is very fast."
"I'm a power user, so reliability is crucial. The HPE equipment hasn't failed on me, unlike some other brands like Huawei, which I find more sensitive."
"The product's stacking technology is stable and works well."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"There are some performance issues."
"No graphical interface."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"They need to have some more high-end switches."
"In a future release, the solution could improve by being more secure and allowing the configuration of each port."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"We have issues with the stability."
"The D-Link Ethernet Switches have to be replaced because they are difficult to manage and security is poor. They should add centralized manageability to make the solution better, it will allow administrators to better know what is happening on the network."
"I would like an option to create different networks within the switch."
"I'd like to see a central management system included as part of their license, not as a separate purchase. Currently, we have to manage switches independently. A central portal for managing all switches and providing visibility would be great."
"Its security features need improvement."
"The tool should be more stable."
"The pricing could be lowered."
"The solution is very comparable to Huawei, however, it could be more scalable. Huawei is easier to scale."
"When we have a lot of clients on the system, we lose signal and have to restart our antenna."
"Installation could be made more secure."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The ability to stack, as well as a unified operating system, would be extremely beneficial."
"Sometimes, we encounter the need for new technologies, especially when we require higher bandwidth. If we can't find what we need with HPE Ethernet Switches, we explore options from other vendors like Cisco."
