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 is the switches are reliable and replaced for free if anything goes wrong."
"This is a very stable product with good performance."
"The solution has great open architecture."
"The solution's stability is really great. We found it very solid."
"It is slightly more price effective than Juniper and it has a slightly larger range."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its monitoring capabilities."
"Scalable and reliable solution for your network connectivity needs, with a straightforward setup."
"Aruba Central is very valuable to us."
"In terms of the most valuable features, LAN switching is more comfortable and valuable in the network. It is easy to configure and easy to deploy. It is helpful for the installation and it is easy to troubleshoot issues. It's an easy product to understand. It's a good solution."
"The velocity of the process is the most valuable feature."
"The Huawei switches are stable, easy to set up, and cheap."
"If you're a small one-on-one organization, then cost-effective-wise, I would recommend it."
"It is easy to understand all the features of Huawei Switches."
"The functionality is basically the same as Cisco."
"It is a stable product. I rate it a nine out of ten...It is a scalable solution."
"The affordability of this solution has been most useful."
"Aruba's management suite has some room for improvement."
"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."
"We have had problems with the cooling fans on these switches."
"We have needed to upgrade software to fix some challenges we experienced. After downloading the latest version of Aruba, these were fixed."
"The firmware in this solution has a lot of bugs that become noticeable when you have complex implementations."
"If you work for a small business, then Cisco would be best."
"It would be better and easier for us to buy if the price were reduced."
"It would be good if I could get a 24-port, 10 gig module."
"I have issues with the support's communication language. The tool's UI can be better."
"The availability and the speed of the firmware updates are the only things wrong with Huawei. There are some vulnerabilities on the hardware."
"There are some support issues."
"I would like to see more training opportunities available."
"The technical support is a bit difficult to work with if you don't speak Mandarin."
"The only thing that could be better is the security module."
"Deploying Huawei Ethernet Switches in an organization offers advantages, especially if the decision is made early in the process and the company opts for a single-vendor approach. This simplifies implementation and customization, often resulting in lower prices and tailored solutions from Huawei. However, excessive customization can lead to support issues and challenges in knowledge transfer during employee turnover."
"Huawei has a lot of issues; it's not in sync properly. For instance, if the ONT is down, there's another problem with another ONT that is not functioning correctly. Even after configuring the siding, I cannot reach some other side, and I don't know why it's happening."
