Cons
"When we have a lot of clients on the system, we lose signal and have to restart our antenna.""The solution is a bit expensive.""I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass."""There is some improvement needed for the power supply of the solution.""There could be features for ransomware attack detection and enhanced anomaly detection to identify and mitigate anonymous traffic.""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.""A lower price would be an improvement because we always want to reduce our costs.""The technical support does not match up to the standard of Cisco."

More HPE Ethernet Switches Cons →

"I would prefer that all the licenses be open for our use.""I would suggest improvements regarding enhancing support response times and implementing user interface modifications for quicker and more user-friendly interactions.""I would like to see more collaboration with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) vendors, such as Itron.""The solution needs more monitoring tools.""The segment routing could be improved, and they could also transfer a lot of legacy to the cloud domain."
