We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and Broadcom StrataDNX 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."Management-wise, this is a good solution."
"It's an excellent product. They're high-quality switches, and nothing has failed in the time that we've had them."
"I like how Aruba switches integrate with On."
"These switches have a good performance, and they are also quickly configurable."
"It is pretty easy to implement the product."
"The solution has great open architecture."
"We can scale as needed."
"When it comes to basic L2 switching, we've found that Aruba switches are very user-friendly in terms of configuration and management. I haven't had the opportunity to utilize Aruba Central for managing the switches yet, so I can't speak to that aspect. However, overall, we've found the deployment process for Aruba switches to be very straightforward."
"The good thing about the StrataDNX is that the Broadcom family is very interchangeable, so they work well with different optical transceivers."
"Easy to integrate with any of the other hardware platforms."
"The delivery time for this product is slow and is something that needs to be improved."
"There are some growing pains with Aruba Central. When you first launch the wireless access points or switches, a lot of updates are needed to get Aruba Central ready, especially on the access points, so the initial deployment time could improve. I would hope that I could just turn it on and leave the updates until later on. The switches themselves probably did okay. I'm primarily referring to the wireless access points. There was a lot of back and forth before everything was in sync. It took hours."
"I don't think there is much to improve. I have seen that Aruba releases the patches on time, and it keeps upgrading the firmware. I have configured this device on an active basis. I don't think I have any bad reviews about the device's overall performance. In the next release, I would like Aruba to incorporate wireless controllers and build them into the chassis.If we can integrate a wireless module, we can have a segment dedicated to wireless infrastructure."
"Aruba's operating system changes with every version."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing because the Aruba Central licenses add a high cost."
"The migration from older to newer products could be improved."
"It would be good if I could get a 24-port, 10 gig module."
"I would prefer it if they reduced the cost of the switches and the access points."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The number of surfaces that can be handled by the chipset could be increased."
