We performed a comparison between HPE ProCurve and Juniper QFabric based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two LAN Switching solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The user interface is simple to use."
"HPE ProCurve offers a very good value proposition compared to that of other switches and is very energy-efficient."
"It has an excellent menu system where you can use both the CLI and a menu system and the GUI version. They have three options for manipulating, updating, and changing the switch, which we like."
"HPE ProCurve has plenty of features."
"The LAN features give us exactly what we need."
"In my experience, the scalability has been good."
"The most valuable feature of HPE ProCurve is its ease of use and implementation."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's user-friendly."
"QFabric supports redundancy and includes all of the enterprise and service provider features that customers would want in data center or service provider network."
"The vendor maintains the product well."
"Juniper QFabric has various advantages including scalability, simplicity, performance, and flexibility."
"The solution is stable."
"It is known for being agile, flexible, and cost-effective when working with various vendors."
"The most valuable feature of QFabric for network performance is its stability."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"A few areas included in the network performance managers can be integrated into the solution's dashboard since it is the only area with a few concerns."
"The solution should offer different gigabit interfaces. Right now, they have ten gigabits. However, for our needs, we only need one gigabit. We don't need 24 or 48 ports. We only need eight to ten. HPE should introduce into their portfolio some smaller and more compact options."
"There should be faster interfaces on the switch, such as 25 gigabits."
"The interface we have could be better."
"The dashboards could be improved to be more interesting."
"Procurve would work better if it had more options like the web environment."
"There is one proprietary function they lack, and I can't remember what it was called, but it monitors the ports, and then every 10 seconds if the port is down, it can divert the traffic somewhere else."
"HPE ProCurve could improve by making their command more similar to other solutions, such as the access codes. There should be a standard. Additionally, if the configurations could be done from the cloud would be a benefit and the port uplink speed should improve."
"The stability needs to be improved."
"Having support for all OpenFlow versions would be beneficial."
"They are working on the virtualization of the actual fabric layer. They are moving away from the original spine-leaf design to a different infrastructure. Instead of having three tiers, which was the director of the interconnected nodes, they cut them back, and they still have that kind of structure."
"It would be nice if Juniper provided the system integrator with training, similar to that of Cisco."
"Improvements could be made to QFabric's life cycle management, particularly in maintaining stable versions and extending product support."
"The disruptive upgrade was an issue for us."
"It works too much on rebooting and there is some memory leakage."
"I do not use GUI's very much for switch stacks. I am always in the CLI. However, I do know that Juniper in the past has lacked on their GUI's, but they have been working on it."
