Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."The technical support is good."
"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."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"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."
"The most valuable product is the unmanaged HP switch."
"The technical support for this solution has improved from what it was."
"The initial setup of this solution is easy."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The HPE Ethernet switches have very low latency."
"I have found the most valuable feature is stability."

"There are a lot of features to control permitting or stopping packets in the network."
"It is easy to set up."
"I like that it's quite flexible and addresses different issues. It's quite easy to use, and the pricing is great. We find them to be very capable switches."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"The beauty of MikroTik is that you have flexibility with the routing parts."
"This solution is very similar to the on-premises version making it easy to use for those who know the architect."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"The solution could be more secure."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"No graphical interface."
