We do not have plans to increase the solution's usage. I rate HPE Ethernet Switches a six out of ten for scalability. Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? Before HPE Ethernet Switches, we used Juniper switches. We mainly switched from Juniper to HPE because of the local support HPE Ethernet Switches provide. How was the initial setup? Cisco Meraki has an easy initial setup. Aruba and HPE have a pretty configuration setup. What about the implementation team? The solution was implemented through our in-house engineers. It takes around 45 minutes to an hour to deploy the solution. Our engineers use the same deployment process as with other products. We cannot get support from local HPE because they don't have local engineers. So most of the time, we get support from other countries or someone who specializes in those areas. What was our ROI? We will see a return on investment with HPE Ethernet Switches within one year. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? We have to pay for a yearly license for HPE Ethernet Switches. The solution's pricing is lower than Cisco's. The solution does not include any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. What other advice do I have? I am using the latest version of HPE Ethernet Switches. One or two engineers are required for the solution's deployment and maintenance, but it depends on the customer site. HPE Ethernet Switches are more suited for enterprise-level customers. However, Cisco is the best solution for data center-level customers. Overall, I rate HPE Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.
