"The stability is fine. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. Almost a ten on a ten."

"Its easy manageability is most valuable. It's easy to manage."
"One of the biggest things in HPE ProCurve that I like, though not necessarily a feature, is the HPE warranty because it's probably better than any of the other vendors that we deal with, as it has a lifetime replacement. Feature-wise, the web interface of HPE ProCurve is typically pretty good and I like that as well."
"The web page interface is very convenient and easy to use for setting up your feedback loops."
"HPE ProCurve offers a very good value proposition compared to that of other switches and is very energy-efficient."
"We are interested in acquiring a firewall that provides a comprehensive solution. In other words, we're seeking a firewall that encompasses multiple aspects, such as exceptional switches and active phone functionalities."
"The product's startup speed is very bad, as it is very slow."
"The solution’s GUI should be improved a bit."
"In the next version, they should add a firewall from a single source."
"The support needs improvement."
"The pricing is competitive but could be improved."
"Tracking with instant switches needs improvement."
"You cannot use many VLANs, like VLAN 10, VLAN 20, VLAN 30, and VLAN 100 on Aruba Instant On AP."
"The dashboards could be improved to be more interesting."
"If we're aiming for an improvement, focus on enhancing security features in HPE ProCurve, particularly in terms of filtering."
"The product must provide something similar to Cisco’s command-line interface."
"These switches can be made more stable and robust."
"I would like to see some kind of packet tracer where people can study how the switch is operating."
"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."
"Since we transfer from one gigabit to ten gigabits of information, in a future release, it would benefit to have more high-speed ports."
"The CLI is a bit confusing. It is not the easiest to manage, especially if you come from a Cisco environment."
