We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and D-Link Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is its performance."
"Management-wise, this is a good solution."
"The most valuable features are the stability and compatibility with other products."
"It is pretty easy to implement the product."
"The most valuable aspect for our organization is the CX. It's wonderful."
"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 initial setup is quite easy."
"Aruba is very easy to use, the GUI is very good and the command line is quite similar to Cisco, so it is very easy to configure."
"The tool's fault frequency is very less."
"Its integration is the most valuable."
"The initial setup was very easy and user-friendly."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The main selling point for me was the pricing. Moreover, the performance is good. I haven't had any issues so far."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is scalable."
"There are many good points about this product. Number one, they are very stable, and easy to configure and manage."
"In my opinion, Aruba's new features, like the new firmware, need to be improved."
"We had an issue with the hardware where one or two interfaces went down after one and a half years. This issue impacted only one or two interfaces, not the whole hardware."
"The need to come up with a bit more flexibility in their range of models."
"Aruba's operating system changes with every version."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing because the Aruba Central licenses add a high cost."
"We don't have visibility in Aruba Switches and we are thinking of switching to Fortiswitch because it has visibility."
"There is a long delay in receiving Aruba Switches when ordered. There should not be a long delay in receiving the solution. Additionally, there should be a lifetime warranty to compete with other solutions."
"I think that the performance is getting better but they need to have more powerful switches on the market so that they can capture medium and large businesses."
"The availability could be improved."
"It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"Its security features need improvement."
"I would like an option to create different networks within the switch."
"The D-Link Ethernet Switches have to be replaced because they are difficult to manage and security is poor. They should add centralized manageability to make the solution better, it will allow administrators to better know what is happening on the network."
"We have issues with the stability."
"It could be easier to scale on managed devices."
