Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."The most valuable feature is that it's very easy to configure."
"I like the number of available throughputs and its ability to have different speeds of ethernet cards or fiber-optic SFPs. It's a core switch, and you can configure it as per your requirements. All the configuration details are well documented on the HP website or Aruba website, and one can easily refer to those and find all the relevant commands from the documentation itself. It's also easy to maintain this solution. It's also cheaper than competing products."
"There is a feature where you can use Bluetooth. You can set up a Bluetooth pairing connection and do the configuration through your phone."
"The most valuable features are the stability and compatibility with other products."
"Licensing costs are competitive with other solutions on the market."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is its performance."
"We use this solution for small and middle sized offices across different locations. The switches connect to the remote sites for distribution to the end user."
"It's an excellent product. They're high-quality switches, and nothing has failed in the time that we've had them."
"The initial setup was straightforward. I installed it myself."
"This solution is very reliable and works well under harsh environmental circumstances."
"This solution could be improved if it offered long term support on a specific model or product."
"The customer service could be a bit quicker and the employees could be more professional."
"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."
"We have had problems with the cooling fans on these switches."
"My experience with Aruba's account manager hasn't been the greatest."
"Technical support response time could be better."
"The migration from older to newer products could be improved."
"Aruba is still losing out to Cisco, which continues to dominate the space. Aruba needs to continue to improve its product range in order to compete with Cisco's dominance."
"I think there is a need for more support of new generation technologies."
"The CLI syntax for this solution is different from other switches such as Cisco and Juniper, and it takes us a long time to integrate a new device and get it working properly."
