Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell Technologies and others in LAN Switching."For a customer, it is easy to configure and to add ports through the LAN the GUI."
"Port density and port speed performance are both suitable. It has some appealing intangibles."
"The product is robust."
"In my experience, the scalability has been good."
"Inter-VLAN is a great feature."
"HPE ProCurve offers a very good value proposition compared to that of other switches and is very energy-efficient."
"The most valuable features of HPE ProCurve are the reports, lifetime warranty, and CLI."
"We don't mind the cost in general."
"The most valuable features are the price and the warranty."
"We have found the solution to be entirely stable."
"Instead of competing at the enterprise level with that product, they should probably scale it. With all of the ports, they should develop a good mid-level business to truly scale it and gain adoption before attempting to go after the enterprise."
"Customers do not prefer this to connect to multiple cities."
"The solution should offer different gigabit interfaces. Right now, they have ten gigabits. However, for our needs, we only need one gigabit. We don't need 24 or 48 ports. We only need eight to ten. HPE should introduce into their portfolio some smaller and more compact options."
"The product could be cheaper."
"They should learn from other vendors, such as Cisco. They all have a few specific routing features. HPE doesn't have any cheap BGP solution."
"Our customers are focused on features and generally, they would like to have a more feature-rich solution."
"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."
"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."
"The CLI is a bit confusing. It is not the easiest to manage, especially if you come from a Cisco environment."
"The product must provide something similar to Cisco’s command-line interface."
