Reliable network access has improved daily connectivity and simplified graphical management
The specific network design is done by another company, and we just manage the access switches, in fact, the local access switches on the LAN. I don't think there is much prioritization in our network for the moment. I don't think that the users see much about it; it's transparent for users. Whether there is a Cisco switch or an Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switch, the user doesn't care. We are not expert users, but we are users for maintaining and keeping the situation alive, not experts of network switch programming. I'm not an expert of the switches to say what's missing. For smaller sites with 10 persons or so, it's sometimes not so easy to choose Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches.

Experience seamless integration and responsive tech support for smooth operations
Amazon RDS is easy to use. It is somewhat pricier but manageable. It has easy tasks and integrates smoothly with frontend components. When using IDE services such as PgAdmin, the installation steps are straightforward. The availability is also high, which is why we use it. It offers easy scalability and migration between different configurations. RDS performs well overall. The main consideration is pricing, which is higher compared to alternatives such as DigitalOcean. For backup and restore operations, it takes slightly longer - approximately 2-3 minutes compared to 2 minutes with other providers. There are also more steps to follow compared to other service providers. The installation process is straightforward with no complex requirements. Users can directly select their desired database, memory requirements, and port numbers without complications.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"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."
"OmniSwitch LAN Switches' performance is very good."
"With Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches everything comes from one vendor. It operates very smoothly."
"Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches provide stable work with no issues, with less downtime and fewer maintenance windows."
"These OmniSwitches are very manageable and easy to configure."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of configuration."
"Inter-VLAN is a great feature."
"This is a very reliable solution."
"The user interface is simple to use."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"HPE ProCurve has plenty of features."
"It is stable, and it fulfills our needs. We have all the functions we need, so we're totally satisfied."

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"For smaller sites with 10 persons or so, it's sometimes not so easy to choose Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch LAN Switches."
"The product could be cheaper."
"I don't have any recommendations for areas of improvement."
"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."
"If we're aiming for an improvement, focus on enhancing security features in HPE ProCurve, particularly in terms of filtering."
"There is one proprietary function they lack, and I can't remember what it was called, but it monitors the ports, and then every 10 seconds if the port is down, it can divert the traffic somewhere else."
"An area for improvement in HPE ProCurve is the web interface not being as robust because you still have to go to the COI to make modifications or look at the exact configuration."
"HPE ProCurve's web interface is old, and I have to log in on each device separately, making them the product's shortcomings that need improvement."
"I would like to see some kind of packet tracer where people can study how the switch is operating."
