We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and H3C Ethernet 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."a value-for-money product and comparatively a very reasonable price compared to competitors like SAP or IBM."
"It's stable."
"This is a very stable product with good performance."
"Scalable and reliable solution for your network connectivity needs, with a straightforward setup."
"Aruba Switches are definitely stable."
"The most valuable features are stability, ease of management, and the monitoring tool."
"When it comes to basic L2 switching, we've found that Aruba switches are very user-friendly in terms of configuration and management. I haven't had the opportunity to utilize Aruba Central for managing the switches yet, so I can't speak to that aspect. However, overall, we've found the deployment process for Aruba switches to be very straightforward."
"It can scale well."
"To date, it has proven to be highly reliable. We have encountered no issues or challenges with it thus far."
"The best feature of H3C Ethernet Switches is their reliability."
"H3C Ethernet Switches is a cheap solution."
"H3C Ethernet Switches have a fast delivery time."
"A good high-performance solution."
"We can configure the switch stack on the internet. Other vendors do not offer this facility. It is fast and easy to manage."
"We had an issue with the hardware where one or two interfaces went down after one and a half years. This issue impacted only one or two interfaces, not the whole hardware."
"The delivery time for this product is slow and is something that needs to be improved."
"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."
"We had an integration team do the setup of the solution."
"Aruba's switches are older so I'd like to see more upgrades. The newer ones may have that built-in. The product could be more user-friendly."
"I have some security issues with Aruba Switches. I need to update the firmware and then the problems might go away."
"It's a little less convenient for more simplified management needs."
"Lacks decent cloud management."
"There should be more public tools for configuration and comparing products."
"GUI needs to merge with CLI."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"H3C Ethernet Switches could improve by widening their product range."
"The only improvement needed is the significantly better lead time for delivery compared to other American products. In terms of technology, there isn't much difference, especially since X3 is a subsidiary of XP, and they use the same technology. However, the delivery time is notably better."
