Rated 5 out of 5 by Theesula Majuwanagamage from Has good ROI and lifetime warranty What needs improvement? Price is an area for improvement. Cisco is very competitive on price, considering future business. HPE Ethernet Switches and Aruba need to think about their pricing. Aruba's price was 25 percent higher than Cisco's in a recent Central Bank project in Sri Lanka. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using the product for 15-20 years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The solution is stable. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? Scalability is good. If the client requests it, we can do cascading and use separate physical networks for guest, admin, and security. How was the initial setup? The initial setup of HPE Ethernet Switches is straightforward, not complex. But as a service integrator, we can't see if we've logged a project in the partnership portal. We have to rely on the distributor's work. Most of my past deployments were SaaS and cloud. The new one will be cloud-based. Implementing a big hotel project with 250 rooms can take around one year or one and a half years. What was our ROI? HPE Ethernet Switches offer a good return on investment. They offer a lifetime warranty, which is good. Cisco SMB level only declares a one-year warranty, and for the enterprise level, you need to get a service pack, which costs extra. What other advice do I have? I use HPE Ethernet Switches for my clients. They choose them mainly because of brand standards and international designers' proposals. In Sri Lanka and the Asia-India region, HPE and Cisco are major service providers. Function-wise, Cisco and HPE are almost equal, but price is a factor, especially for hospitality clients. My clients for HPE Ethernet Switches are usually enterprise businesses. As a designer and consultant, I can't rely on just one product. HPE, Cisco, and Aruba all have proprietary features. I choose based on customer expectations and requirements. All are good, not bad. I'd rate HPE Ethernet Switches more than five out of ten.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kannan Raja from Monitors the switches 24/7 and offers data about the traffic going through the switches What is our primary use case? So far, I've not faced any problem with the switches. Secondly, I can see HPE is providing frequent upgrades to address some security issues. I can get some data about the traffic going through the switches and the performance of the switch through the application. What is most valuable? I like that we can monitor the switches 24/7, and we also get a couple of reports about the user or connected devices for prioritization and overall QoS prioritization. That's been useful to us. At the moment, they really put more features in Aruba Central, so the subscription cost is a bit high, and we may need to bring it down. We integrated with AI. In terms of troubleshooting, it automatically captures issues and tells us if there's a problem with Wireshark. It also gives us some suggestions on where the possible problem and error is occurring. That's all. What needs improvement? The cost is a bit high. It is a bit complex to configure, so there could also be some points for improvement in the configuration part. For how long have I used the solution? I have been working with this solution for past three years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? I would rate the scalability an eight out of ten. We faced challenges with configuration. My company is an enterprise. There are around 300+ users. Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? The subscription to Aruba Central is a subscription-based application. So the cost to subscribe is high. They may need to bring it down so there will be a lot of users engaged with Aruba Central. How was the initial setup? The complexity depends on the required configuration. If it's a very complex configuration, troubleshooting is required, and it's a bit difficult. With a simple configuration, it's easy. Secondly, to assign the management IP and to make a trunk port with the native VLAN is difficult. That part is a bit complex compared to other switches. What about the implementation team? For complex configurations, I required third-party certified help. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The cost is high. Which other solutions did I evaluate? Cisco would be a close competitor to HPE. Cisco Meraki. We chose HPE mainly because of the cost. The hardware cost and the lifetime warranty were the key factors. What other advice do I have? Overall, I would rate it an eight out of te. I would recommend it to others. Which deployment model are you using for this solution? On-premises Disclaimer: I am a real user, and this review is based on my own experience and opinions.
