We performed a comparison between HPE Ethernet Switches and Meraki MS 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."HPE Ethernet Switches are scalable, and their software is also quite sturdy."
"We have scaled it without any issues."
"It's stable and performing well."
"The solution is very stable and easy to use."
"The solution is highly stable."
"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."
"What I like the most is the management system integrated with the HP system."
"Switching to HPE Ethernet Switches greatly improved our network. We used to have both Cisco and HPE Ethernet Switches. Our network performance has increased by 300 percent."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is the ease of stacking. The configuration on the MS Switches is very good, as well as its ability to assign the LANs."
"They're easy to update."
"The solution is stable."
"Easily installable, with good scalability, stability and technical support."
"Its cloud feature and cloud management are great. They are the most valuable aspects."
"I like the portal, it's really interesting."
"Meraki MS Switches is easy to use and implement."
"The initial setup is easy."
"There is room for improvement in the update process, especially the web UI update process."
"It is not very stable."
"They should release more updates for the solution."
"There is some improvement needed for the power supply of the solution."
"It would be better if they improve the implementation of SD-WAN."
"The management of the tool must be improved."
"The cost could be better. HPE has to study it carefully with other vendors in the market, like Cisco or Juniper."
"It's gone up in price in the last 12 months."
"The pricing can be made cheaper."
"The documentation could be more extensive. For example, it could describe more scenarios. It would be great if they could incorporate AI engines into the switching infrastructure and firewall so you can configure it to prevent intrusion. They have intrusion prevention and detection, but they could enhance it by incorporating AI into their firewall."
"We had some dashboard licensing issues, maybe because their method of collecting data from the user needs to be more streamlined."
"Better alerting capabilities are needed because they do not provide enough notification or detail about events."
"The throughputs, especially the throughput path, can be improved on the core switches. I think they should improve the throughput in the core switches to enable higher throughputs."
"The scalability and integrative abilities with on-premises systems could stand improvement."
"Licensing is the only thing I can complain about. It's expensive, but everything is these days."
"They could lower the price."
