We performed a comparison between Huawei Ethernet Switches and Mellanox 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."Huawei Ethernet Switches excel in compatibility with other brands, offering features to ensure seamless communication with existing protocols. This allows them to work alongside switches from different manufacturers, such as Cisco, by making adjustments on both ends for compatibility."
"Scalability isn't an issue."
"The Huawei switches are stable, easy to set up, and cheap."
"What we like the most is that the price is reasonable and it's easy to manage."
"It is cheap."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its network monitoring system."
"It is a very stable solution."
"They have the ability, since they have a very big R&D team, to create an upgrade for any feature or patch very easily."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the size, power consumption, and the vast amount of features."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its functionality."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the powerful hardware and the software is open. They're using Linux operating system. You can do and install many things, and it performs well."
"From what I've been told, a valuable feature of Mellanox switches is they're quite user-friendly."
"It is a very easy-to-use product."
"Integration could be improved. The price could also be lower."
"Connectivity is an area that needs improvement in the solution. Interconnectivity with third-party versions or Cisco Meraki should be made available to users in future releases of the solution."
"The licensing cost attached to the solution is atrocious, so from an improvement perspective, it should be made cheaper."
"In the future, incorporating AI features into Ethernet switches, particularly in the controller base, would be beneficial."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches have not automated its firmware."
"The performance has been slow at times."
"The product should improve cloud capability."
"I would like to see some improvements in the access layer switch that is available in Aruba."
"Mellanox Switches were easier before Nvidia bought Mellanox and then their new version of the operating system changed. They started with Ennui, and now they only use Linux. If they returned to their previous CLI it would be a good option for starters. The new CLI is more difficult to use but more powerful than the older one. It has its advantages."
"Mellanox Switches could improve by adding some features that can make it easier for integrating the switches in some managing and monitoring platforms, such as Elastic or similar software for monitoring data with the data center in a more holistic way."
"The configuration is a bit different from Cisco, and therefore, for me at least, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"If you compare this solution with Cisco, utilization in Cisco is more popular and it is more friendly."
"The scalability is working fine at the moment, but there's always room for improvement. As of right now, I don't know of any improvements to suggest."
