Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."It's stable."
"It's an excellent product. They're high-quality switches, and nothing has failed in the time that we've had them."
"We have not had any issues with the product and its functions. It has been stable."
"When it comes to basic L2 switching, we've found that Aruba switches are very user-friendly in terms of configuration and management. I haven't had the opportunity to utilize Aruba Central for managing the switches yet, so I can't speak to that aspect. However, overall, we've found the deployment process for Aruba switches to be very straightforward."
"Aruba access points have a good transfer rate."
"They provide great service in terms of replacing malfunctioning switches."
"It's a reliable product that you can depend on."
"The technical support is fantastic!"
"The initial setup was straightforward. I installed it myself."
"This solution is very reliable and works well under harsh environmental circumstances."
"I'm not sure if they have the core switch series as well."
"The templates to automate our switches need improvement."
"The dashboard could be improved, especially for the CX Switches. It would help to push scripts and configurations via an easy to use dashboard, one which would give us complete visibility of all of our switches in one place. Right now, we have more than one dashboard for Aruba. It would be nice if it was centralized."
"I would like to see a lower price on the device."
"If we compare Aruba and Cisco at the data center layer, Cisco has its Nexus switch. Aruba provides the new 10000 series, but it does not compare with the Nexus switch."
"I would like to see them integrate a monitoring solution."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing because the Aruba Central licenses add a high cost."
"I don't think there is much to improve. I have seen that Aruba releases the patches on time, and it keeps upgrading the firmware. I have configured this device on an active basis. I don't think I have any bad reviews about the device's overall performance. In the next release, I would like Aruba to incorporate wireless controllers and build them into the chassis.If we can integrate a wireless module, we can have a segment dedicated to wireless infrastructure."
"The CLI syntax for this solution is different from other switches such as Cisco and Juniper, and it takes us a long time to integrate a new device and get it working properly."
"I think there is a need for more support of new generation technologies."
