We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches, Cisco Ethernet Switches, and Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."I like the number of available throughputs and its ability to have different speeds of ethernet cards or fiber-optic SFPs. It's a core switch, and you can configure it as per your requirements. All the configuration details are well documented on the HP website or Aruba website, and one can easily refer to those and find all the relevant commands from the documentation itself. It's also easy to maintain this solution. It's also cheaper than competing products."
"The most valuable feature is the switches are reliable and replaced for free if anything goes wrong."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is its performance."

"Aruba Switches' price could improve, if they were less expensive it would be beneficial."
"Aruba's management suite has some room for improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see network access control on the switches themselves. I would like to see security functionalities when it comes to monitoring the bit of the wireless section of the switches."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The price could be lower. It's quite expensive."
"There are some GUI configuration improvements that they can implement in the future for the product models."
"It'll also help if it can support more network utilization."
"We are less in the Cloud because the Cloud technologies didn't work so well. That happened in all of the companies where I've been engaged."
"The dashboard needs some minor improvements."
"One thing we did have to work around is, on the broadcast side, we're reliant on the PTP protocol, precision time protocol, and the Cisco switches in general, don't support that."
"In terms of features, all features are there. I can't find anything new that needs to be added. Its price, however, is a bit higher than other brands and can be improved."
"The price of the solution should be lower and it should have better security and scalability."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches’s stability and pricing needs improvement."
"The solution's support can use improvement because they are not very good at following up."
"The product’s price is a bit high."
"Its scalability can be better. It is not suitable for enterprises. It is for small and medium businesses. It also needs system improvements. It needs new technology to improve the system."
"Cisco offers a wide range of features, and in the enterprise and mid-segment market in Europe, we make use of most of them. Some features are essential for our operations, while others may go unused. The feature set provided by Cisco is comprehensive, and there's little more we could ask for. It would be a nice addition if, in the future, Cisco switches could incorporate artificial intelligence to provide proactive feedback and guidance instead of having to search for solutions ourselves. This development is likely to come with time, and we'll patiently await such enhanced functionality."
"Endpoints need to be improved."
"The sales support could improve, they are not supplying the solution on time. For some projects, we have had to wait many months."
