We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and HPE 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."The solution's stability is really great. We found it very solid."
"Aruba offers better options when it comes to the area of scalability compared to what Cisco offers. Aruba has a better graphical user interface that helps users with the configuration part."
"It is a very good device for our company. It is stable and very scalable."
"With Aruba, I like its stability and lifetime warranty."
"We like that it is very easy to manage the product through the cloud."
"It is very easy to set up."
"We like the framework of fabric virtual switching."
"The initial installation of Aruba Switches is easy."
"Stable and scalable."
"I value that there is a clear place to find a MAC table with HPE Ethernet Switches."
"What I like the most is the management system integrated with the HP system."
"They are affordable and very stable. They also have good performance."
"It's stable. We never have any issues."
"We were able to onboard HPE Ethernet Switches easily to the cloud. It was fast and took only five minutes to complete."
"These switches are very stable, to date I have not experienced any issues."
"Switching to HPE Ethernet Switches greatly improved our network. We used to have both Cisco and HPE Ethernet Switches. Our network performance has increased by 300 percent."
"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."
"They have limited CLI options in the UI and this is something that needs improvement."
"Technical support response time could be better."
"Aruba's management suite has some room for improvement."
"The migration from older to newer products could be improved."
"I would say that the customization of the switches could be easier to configure."
"If we compare Aruba and Cisco at the data center layer, Cisco has its Nexus switch. Aruba provides the new 10000 series, but it does not compare with the Nexus switch."
"The need to come up with a bit more flexibility in their range of models."
"The scalability is limited."
"They should release more updates for the solution."
"The technical support does not match up to the standard of Cisco."
"It would be better if they improve the implementation of SD-WAN."
"When we have a lot of clients on the system, we lose signal and have to restart our antenna."
"The pricing could be lowered."
"The installation can be quite complex. However, that may not be the fault of HP and is rather more related to the way our infrastructure is arranged."
"A lower price would be an improvement because we always want to reduce our costs."
