We performed a comparison between Brocade Ethernet Switches, D-Link Ethernet Switches, and HPE 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."There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"The technical support is good."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"These switches are simple and easy to configure."
"D-Link has a good VPN feature and quality of service."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The initial setup of D-Link Ethernet Switches is very easy."
"It's plug-and-play. There is no configuration necessary."
"The solution is scalable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is very stable and reliable."
"I like that these switches are reliable, and the support is good."
"The solution is very, very stable."
"We were able to onboard HPE Ethernet Switches easily to the cloud. It was fast and took only five minutes to complete."
"It's fairly lightweight, they don't require a lot of maintenance."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is that they all have PoE. It's one of the most important things that we need in the EdgeSwitch."
"The solution offers lifetime warranties."
"I would rate the stability a solid ten out of ten."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"There are some performance issues."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"The solution could be more secure."
"No graphical interface."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"I'd like to see a central management system included as part of their license, not as a separate purchase. Currently, we have to manage switches independently. A central portal for managing all switches and providing visibility would be great."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"This solution is not good for distribution at the core."
"I would like an option to create different networks within the switch."
"They need to enhance stability."
"They need to have some more high-end switches."
"We have issues with the stability."
"It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud."
"Sometimes, we encounter the need for new technologies, especially when we require higher bandwidth. If we can't find what we need with HPE Ethernet Switches, we explore options from other vendors like Cisco."
"A lower price would be an improvement because we always want to reduce our costs."
"This solution needs to support software-defined networking."
"Some users might look for high-speed switching like Cisco or Nexus switches, which can handle larger volumes. HPE's current offerings aren't as robust in that area, but they could improve."
"Technical support needs improvement, as the response time could be better."
"We'd like better support for situations where we need troubleshooting."
"They should have more control tools for controlling the bandwidth."
"They should release more updates for the solution."
