We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches and HPE ProCurve 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."OmniSwitch LAN Switches' performance is very good."
"One of the main advantages of the solution is that the configuration is straightforward, offering various configuration options through CLI or web interfaces. I'm satisfied with the customer service and support. The solution is good and people should know about it."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of configuration."
"With Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches everything comes from one vendor. It operates very smoothly."
"I rate the technical support an eight or a nine out of ten. So far, they've been very professional and helpful, especially when we need to raise a case for any issue."
"These OmniSwitches are very manageable and easy to configure."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The network management solutions that they have is great."
"Inter-VLAN is a great feature."
"ProCurve is easy to configure and to know how to create each connection and configuration."
"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."
"It is stable, and it fulfills our needs. We have all the functions we need, so we're totally satisfied."
"The user interface is the most valuable aspect of the solution for us."
"HPE ProCurve is used to connect servers and storage in the data center."
"I would like to see better third-party integration with third-party systems."
"There are some issues with the network firmware being deleted from the switches."
"A customer expressed dissatisfaction with the color of the switches, preferring black over the current color, which is close to white. While the color is not a personal concern, my earlier preference was for all products to be extendable in one large stack since some equipment limits stacking to four elements instead of eight."
"n general, the way the product is put together is not well done."
"There is no OEM support in India so RMAs need to be sent to France, which takes a long time if the hardware is faulty."
"HPE ProCurve is very complex for junior engineers and beginners. You need a lot of experience in managing switches in order to use this switch."
"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."
"I don't have any recommendations for areas of improvement."
"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."
"Procurve would work better if it had more options like the web environment."
"Since we transfer from one gigabit to ten gigabits of information, in a future release, it would benefit to have more high-speed ports."
"The solution doesn't have web-based management, which is why we've moved to a different solution."
"There should be faster interfaces on the switch, such as 25 gigabits."
