We performed a comparison between HPE Ethernet Switches and Mellanox Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Switching to HPE Ethernet Switches greatly improved our network. We used to have both Cisco and HPE Ethernet Switches. Our network performance has increased by 300 percent."
"Stable and 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."
"What I like the most is the management system integrated with the HP system."
"The technical support for this solution has improved from what it was."
"The most valuable product is the unmanaged HP switch."
"We can easily replace components without incurring significant costs in an error or failure."
"These are the basic access layer switches used for connectivity among users, and they are cost-effective."
"It is a very easy-to-use product."
"From what I've been told, a valuable feature of Mellanox switches is they're quite user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its functionality."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the size, power consumption, and the vast amount of features."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the powerful hardware and the software is open. They're using Linux operating system. You can do and install many things, and it performs well."
"Configuration can be complex."
"It is not very stable."
"The tool should be more stable."
"Technical support needs improvement, as the response time could be better."
"They should release more updates for the solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see them include more features like the Aruba solution, to have more possibilities concerning the software design."
"HPE Ethernet Switches must ensure that the updates and patching are done regularly. When we have new software updates, we can resolve issues quickly."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"Mellanox Switches were easier before Nvidia bought Mellanox and then their new version of the operating system changed. They started with Ennui, and now they only use Linux. If they returned to their previous CLI it would be a good option for starters. The new CLI is more difficult to use but more powerful than the older one. It has its advantages."
"If you compare this solution with Cisco, utilization in Cisco is more popular and it is more friendly."
"The configuration is a bit different from Cisco, and therefore, for me at least, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"Mellanox Switches could improve by adding some features that can make it easier for integrating the switches in some managing and monitoring platforms, such as Elastic or similar software for monitoring data with the data center in a more holistic way."
"The scalability is working fine at the moment, but there's always room for improvement. As of right now, I don't know of any improvements to suggest."
