We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches and Aruba Switches 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 fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is its performance."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is security."
"The most valuable Aruba switch feature is the lifetime warranty. It is a plus point in the budget."
"It's a reliable product that you can depend on."
"It is very easy to set up."
"Aruba Switches are always innovating to bring new solutions to the market."
"This solution is really easy to use. It is much easier to use than Cisco. It's got a nice web interface for stepping up and an added warranty."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"The network connection should be improved."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"The port flexibility on the 54 series, specifically the 5406 for core usage, could be improved. When I want to upgrade to 10G, I don't have many options to choose from."
"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 say that the customization of the switches could be easier to configure."
"I would like to see them integrate a monitoring solution."
"Aruba Switches' price could improve, if they were less expensive it would be beneficial."
"The initial setup is relatively complex."
"I am forced to consider changing products because other solutions have a better dashboard and a user-friendly interface."
"The command-line interface could be easier to use, perhaps having voice control."
