HPE Ethernet Switches Reviews

HPE Ethernet Switches are used for internet networking and the hotel industry.

We are not using any specific features. We use HPE Ethernet Switches to provide solutions for the hotel, their guests, and IPTV.

The solution's throughput should be increased because we often get stuck when it comes to IPTV streaming.

I have been using HPE Ethernet Switches for more than five years.

HPE Ethernet Switches are not as stable as Cisco. I rate HPE Ethernet Switches a six out of ten for stability.

Around 250 users are extensively using HPE Ethernet Switches. We do not have plans to increase the solution's usage.

I rate HPE Ethernet Switches a six out of ten for scalability.

Before HPE Ethernet Switches, we used Juniper switches. We mainly switched from Juniper to HPE because of the local support HPE Ethernet Switches provide.

Cisco Meraki has an easy initial setup. Aruba and HPE have a pretty configuration setup.

The solution was implemented through our in-house engineers. It takes around 45 minutes to an hour to deploy the solution.

Our engineers use the same deployment process as with other products. We cannot get support from local HPE because they don't have local engineers. So most of the time, we get support from other countries or someone who specializes in those areas.

We will see a return on investment with HPE Ethernet Switches within one year.

We have to pay for a yearly license for HPE Ethernet Switches. The solution's pricing is lower than Cisco's. The solution does not include any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees.

I am using the latest version of HPE Ethernet Switches.

One or two engineers are required for the solution's deployment and maintenance, but it depends on the customer site.

HPE Ethernet Switches are more suited for enterprise-level customers. However, Cisco is the best solution for data center-level customers.

Overall, I rate HPE Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.

HPE Ethernet Switches are used for networking.

HPE Ethernet Switches are easy to configure.

The technical support does not match up to the standard of Cisco.

I have been using HPE Ethernet Switches for one year.

HPE Ethernet Switches are stable.

HPE Ethernet Switches are scalable.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The license cost is yearly.

I give HPE Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten.

I recommend HPE Ethernet Switches for users. It is not as expensive as Cisco Switches.

HPE Ethernet Switches are scalable, and their software is also quite sturdy. The solution's security is up to the mark according to industry standards. HPE Ethernet Switches are very easy to use, and the MTBF or failure rate is very low.

The solution’s licensing could be improved.

In my current organization, I have provided HPE Ethernet Switches to one or two customers, but in my previous organization, we have provided HPE Ethernet Switches to more customers. They entered the Indian market in 2008 and have a very good reputation.

I rate HPE Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten for stability.

The technical support team of HPE Ethernet Switches is very good.

The setup of HPE Ethernet Switches depends on the SoW, and it's not complex at all. The solution's initial setup is quite straightforward.

L2 switches are deployed in half an hour to one hour. But L3 switches get deployed in one, two, or three days depending on the SoW.

Depending on the quantity, one or two L2 or L3 people are more than sufficient for the solution's implementation. Two people are required to implement L3 switches, and depending on the SoW, the job can be finished in one or two days.

HPE Ethernet Switches used to have a lifetime warranty for some of the products. We have to see only the security part when considering licenses because the licenses upgrade.

Since the Indian market is very price-sensitive, HPE Ethernet Switches are preferred from a commercial point of view. Cisco switches are more stable from a technical and commercial point of view, but commercially, HP is the choice for any enterprise. Since HPE Ethernet Switches have an SMB presence, SMB customers will buy them.

Overall, I rate HPE Ethernet Switches an eight or nine out of ten.

We primarily use it for switches. We use it to interconnect all the LAN, and WAN switches. It's great for creating an interconnected network. 

It's stable and performing well.

The solution is simple to set up.

We've been using old models for the longest time now. They're reliable and function well even after all this time. The wear factor is very low, and they're still reliable. If the bandwidth is not an issue, a company can use it for a very long time.

Some of the older versions have lower bandwidth. 

The scalability is limited. 

We've used the solution for the longest time right now.

The solution is stable and the performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It does not crash or freeze on us. It is reliable. 

The solution can only scale so much. There are limitations in terms of the number of ports.

While we have one group using the switches, everyone is benefiting from them as we are using them to connect our networks.

We have about 3,000 users on the solution right now. 

I'm not sure if we have plans to increase usage. We're still coming out of the pandemic. 

Our vendor usually provides support. We're satisfied with the level of service we have. 

The initial setup is simple. It's straightforward. It's not complex or difficult. 

My colleague implemented it with other switches. 

The vendors who are bringing the switches to our company, or the vendors who are selling the switches, will provide the staff to help install the solution. Usually, there are around five persons at a maximum helping to assist.

We've seen an ROI. With some switches, they are still with us, they're still operational. We've only had to upgrade a bit which is the only reason why we're replacing them. If we didn't replace them for the upgrade they'd still be working. They last a very long time. You get your money's worth.

I can't speak to the exact licensing costs. 

I'm not familiar with which version we're using. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for the switch mechanisms. 

We actually use these only as the situation calls for it. It depends on if the switches make sense for a company. They are good for IT companies and enterprises. 

The solution is stable and the performance is good.

You can scale the product as needed. 

It is a product that is very easy to set up and deploy.

The pricing is pretty good. 

It's not easy to find the devices. Companies often don't keep them in stock and only get them when there is a demand. 

It would be ideal if the product offered more security.

I've been dealing with HP for years now. It's been a while. 

The stability is good. The solution offers good performance and reliability. 

The solution is scalable and easy to expand. If a company needs to scale, it can do so.

We have maybe 1,000 people using the product in our company right now. 

I've dealt with technical support in the past and never have had issues with their level of service. I'm satisfied with them.

I'm also familiar with Cisco, which is a bit more expensive. 

It is easy to set up the product. It doesn't take long either. Deployment might take an hour. It's not a difficult process at all. A company wouldn't have any issues setting everything up.

The product itself is less expensive than, for example, Cisco. 

I'm just a customer and an end-user. I don't have a business relationship with HP. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution I'm using at this time. 

I'd recommend the solution to other people and other companies. 

I would rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for a small network and a small data center.

The solution is very stable and easy to use.

I would like to see more updates for the solution.

I have been using HPE Ethernet Switches for a couple of years.

I rate the solution ten out of ten for stability.

More than 250 users use HPE Ethernet Switches regularly in our organization.

I rate the solution’s scalability ten out of ten.

The solution’s technical support was good.

The solution’s initial setup is very easy.

The solution can be implemented through an in-house team. The solution's deployment process is very easy and includes designing the network and configuring VLAN.

The solution's security features are very good, and I rate them ten out of ten. Two people are needed for the solution's deployment and maintenance. I would recommend the solution to other users. I rate the solution ten out of ten for ease of management and configuration.

Overall, I rate the solution ten out of ten.

The on-prem deployment is usually used for SAN storage.

The devices are scalable and they have good performance.

It's straightforward to set up.

The product could always use better technical support. 

We've been dealing with the solution for two years. 

The performance is good and they are reliable. There are no bugs or glitches and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

It's a product that can scale well. It's easy to expand as necessary.

We have two clients that use these switches. 

Technical support could be faster. 

The initial setup is simple. It's not overly complex or difficult. 

The deployment only takes a few days. It's pretty quick to set up. 

One engineer is enough in order to handle deployment and maintenance. 

We have seen an ROI. Usually, there is a part of a combined solution, so the switches don't stand on their own. The switches are part of whatever you're trying to do in terms of server consolidation or if you're trying to convert your data center to a software-defined data center so you need good storage switches. They play their part in that solution. It's difficult to pick out the particular return on investment, however, they play their part in the whole infrastructure.

I don't handle the actual licensing. I can't speak to the exact costs. 

We provide the solution to clients. 

I've implemented the product enough to know it's a good solution. If it fits a company's needs, they should go ahead.

I'd rate it an eight out of ten. Our experience has been largely positive. 

We use HPE Ethernet Switches for access control or access switches.

HPE Ethernet Switches have helped us build ACLs and VLANs.

They are effective. 

We have some fairly simple requirements, we can do the things that we need to do, it gets the job done. The interfaces are more user-friendly than they were ten years ago. 

It is simple to operate, and they have the feature sets that we require.

It's fairly lightweight, they don't require a lot of maintenance.

In general, the web GUI, or web interface, requires improvement.

Interface, and the ability to do things that are only possible through the command line, which seems pointless because there is no reason to have a command line for many of the functions.

The ability to stack, as well as a unified operating system, would be extremely beneficial. It isn't there. They are budget switches.

I have been using HPE Ethernet Switches for 15 years.

We use several versions of this solution, ranging from the most recent to some that are over ten years old. We have a full spectrum of switches.

We have no issues with the stability of HPE Ethernet Switches. It is stable and it works.

Scalability is determined by a pricing decision. HPEs are not at all a Juniper or anything like that, but for a budget shop like ours, they are adequate.

Our company has 250 users who use this product extensively.

I have never contacted technical support.

Previously, we had not used another solution. We started with HPE Ethernet switches.

The initial setup is relatively straightforward.

It took a couple of hours to get it set up and configured.

I am responsible for the maintenance of the product.

We did not use a consultant or integrator to assist us with the configuration, we did it ourselves.

There are no licensing fees, the price of the product is all that is required.

It is what it is and can be used by anyone; no expertise or prior knowledge is required.

I would rate HPE Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.
