Cons

More Enterasys Ethernet Switches [EOL] Cons →

"I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass."""It would be helpful to have training available for this solution.""There is room for improvement in the update process, especially the web UI update process.""It would be ideal if the product offered more security.""They should have more control tools for controlling the bandwidth.""We would always be happier if the price were reduced.""Some users might look for high-speed switching like Cisco or Nexus switches, which can handle larger volumes. HPE's current offerings aren't as robust in that area, but they could improve.""The next release would benefit from adding a central management that could be deployable on premise and allow you to see the layout of topology."
