We performed a comparison between Cisco Nexus, Enterasys Campus LAN Switches, and HPE ProCurve based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell Technologies and others in LAN Switching.
"The most valuable feature of the solution is network visibility. It becomes the core switch. All of the devices connected route towards it."
"We leverage Cisco DCNM a lot, which allows us to automate."
"The flexibility, how accurately the VPCs operate as well as the redundancy built into it with the VPCs are the most valuable features."
"It's easy to use."
"Its easy management is most valuable. It is easy to use, easy to manage, stable, and very reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the Bluetooth console."
"This product has improved the way our organization functions in the way that the rack-based design allowed us to eliminate chassis-based designs. The chassis design is more complicated to manage and maintain in field operations."
"A very solid and reliable solution."
"Enterasys Campus LAN Switches is a trustable and powerful solution. The solution has good web management features. You can do whatever you want, like a CLI. The solution is easy to diagnose and manage. I like the Linux-based operating system. If any service crashes, you need to restart the system."
"The performance is good."
"Extreme Networks is the only one that has this kind of universal switch. It simplifies things greatly. Customers no longer have to worry about the price differences between traditional and fabric technology switches, which used to have their own pricing. This has made it easier for us as solution providers to tailor options for our customers with fewer but more suitable choices."
"It has a lifetime warranty, that includes lifetime updates."
"In my experience, the scalability has been good."
"The GUI makes it easy to configure, manage, and work with."
"HPE ProCurve is very complex for junior engineers and beginners. You need a lot of experience in managing switches in order to use this switch."
"We don't mind the cost in general."
"It is stable, and it fulfills our needs. We have all the functions we need, so we're totally satisfied."
"The network management solutions that they have is great."
"The most valuable feature of HPE ProCurve is its ease of use and implementation."
"The initial setup is always complex."
"One of our switches died last week and we were able to RMA it. Within four hours it arrived on time and worked."
"The scalability can be improved."
"I am looking for a GUI that goes alongside them and more SD-WAN built to their core switches."
"The initial setup of the Cisco Nexus platform takes a long time. It's a complex system because we have a lot of security layers."
"I would like to see some development into the SAE world where you can virtualize. That would be the only thing I would like to see because I need to start virtualizing my infrastructure gear at some of the other data centers that I have."
"The product lacks options for integration with other market products that would allow us more flexibility."
"It would be great if they could make the interface a little more user-friendly, but not trade power off for simplicity."
"Security features do exist, and they're mostly common with other switches. What makes these switches unique is the ability to see application layers on the switch, but not directly through the switch. There are tools from Extreme Networks that allow visibility of such traffic, which other switches lack. Extreme CloudIQ analytics can analyze all the traffic on Extreme Switches up to layer seven, offering full visibility. However, this tool is necessary for such detailed analytics and might not be compatible with some third-party products."
"The tool's price is high. We need a cost-effective service. It also needs to add wireless controller features like Huawei."
"While the support is good, it could be better, and the price could be reduced."
"The solution's pricing could be made cheaper."
"Procurve would work better if it had more options like the web environment."
"I would like to see some kind of packet tracer where people can study how the switch is operating."
"The solution doesn't have web-based management, which is why we've moved to a different solution."
"The interface we have could be better."
"We do occasionally have issues with the solution and need to change out the switches sometimes. This can be due to the fan, but, in most cases, it's because the power supply was broken."
"If you make a change and you disconnect yourself from the switch, you will create an issue."
"One of the weakest points of this solution is its on-premise. We are not able to do all we need to with the CLI."
