Security, reliability, and cost-effectiveness drive success across different business scales
HPE Ethernet Switches are very much covered on the security front due to their ClearPass technology, which is exceptional. They are highly scalable and stable, which is vital for large enterprises that require reliable performance. Additionally, HPE Ethernet Switches offer a cost-saving advantage as they are approximately 40% cheaper than comparable Cisco solutions. The integration of the switches is very straightforward, making them an attractive choice for many organizations.

Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

Cons

"The pricing could be lowered."
"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."
"They should have more control tools for controlling the bandwidth."
"The cost could be better. HPE has to study it carefully with other vendors in the market, like Cisco or Juniper."
"To me, the technical support is not that good."
"The CLI and terminology are a bit different and might confuse several engineers."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"It is not very stable."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"All the solutions have a license for the QSFP. Additionally, there is a one-time license fee to increase the interface speed."
"The tool's pricing is very cheap."
"We have to see only the security part when considering licenses because the licenses upgrade."
"The price could be more competitive."
"This is an expensive product."
"The licensing cost is yearly, and there aren't any additional costs on top of the standard fee."
"The box itself is cheap, but when we have to install new features, it becomes very expensive."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
