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."It's stable."
"Very easy and quick to setup and provide a nice dashboard providing a view of everything."
"It is pretty easy to implement the product."
"I like the number of available throughputs and its ability to have different speeds of ethernet cards or fiber-optic SFPs. It's a core switch, and you can configure it as per your requirements. All the configuration details are well documented on the HP website or Aruba website, and one can easily refer to those and find all the relevant commands from the documentation itself. It's also easy to maintain this solution. It's also cheaper than competing products."
"Management-wise, this is a good solution."
"It's a reliable product that you can depend on."
"There is a feature where you can use Bluetooth. You can set up a Bluetooth pairing connection and do the configuration through your phone."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its monitoring capabilities."
"The graphical userface is very good and quite easy to run with."
"The solution offers lifetime warranties."
"I have found the most valuable feature is stability."
"I like that HPE's management functions are GUI-based, so it doesn't rely on command lines."
"The main features of the solution I have found to be the interface and unique features other solutions do not have. Additionally, they have a lifetime warranty on the hardware."
"I like that these switches are reliable, and the support is good."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the interface and configuration. It's very easy to use."
"The solution must improve the switch models."
"In my opinion, Aruba's new features, like the new firmware, need to be improved."
"The interface could be more user-friendly and the dashboard could be improved."
"The customer service could be a bit quicker and the employees could be more professional."
"The dashboard could be improved, especially for the CX Switches. It would help to push scripts and configurations via an easy to use dashboard, one which would give us complete visibility of all of our switches in one place. Right now, we have more than one dashboard for Aruba. It would be nice if it was centralized."
"Aruba's operating system changes with every version."
"From an improvement perspective, I want Aruba Switches to have a longer life since it doesn't work properly after five years of use."
"The log viewer should be improved."
"VLAN can be improved, but I have to check that with the company expert. I have different switch models, but they don't have all the same interface. I don't know whether lower-level switches don't have the same interface as the better quality ones. I might have two different model types."
"The scalability is limited."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The cost could be better. HPE has to study it carefully with other vendors in the market, like Cisco or Juniper."
"The security of the solution always has room for improvement."
"The ability to stack, as well as a unified operating system, would be extremely beneficial."
"There is some improvement needed for the power supply of the solution."
"The solution would be easier to set up if its GUI could improve or if it had a wizard."
