HPE Ethernet Switches Reviews

The solution's interface is helpful, and you can see the traffic. HPE Ethernet Switches is a reliable solution.

The solution lacks certain protocols and has a limited warranty. You have to pay extra to get more warranty on it.

I have been using HPE Ethernet Switches for ten years.

HPE Ethernet Switches is a stable solution, but it depends on your requirements.

I rate the solution a nine out of ten for stability.

The solution is scalable to a certain extent. You won't be able to do advanced networking on it. Around 100 users are using the solution in our organization.

The solution's technical support team will arrange for things to be changed or replaced.

The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.

We implemented the solution through an in-house team. To deploy the solution, you need to log on to the interface and configure whatever you need to configure. The solution can be deployed within minutes. The solution has a plug-and-play deployment process.

HPE Ethernet Switches is a fairly cheap solution. The solution does the job well for its price. You have to pay a lot more money for higher features, but then you are probably better off looking at higher-end switches. HPE Ethernet Switches are designed for smaller size businesses.

The solution can be deployed on-premises and on the cloud. Integrating the solution with our existing network infrastructure was very easy.

Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

We use the switches to connect end users to the devices. 

We get a lifetime warranty for the solution so whenever the switches get faulty, you can get a replacement. 

The tool should be more stable. 

I have been working with the product for more than ten years. 

The product is scalable. 

I never contact the support since I resolve issues by myself. 

The product is easy to set up. I configure the tool in 5 minutes. 

The tool's pricing is very cheap. 

I would rate the product an eight out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for switching. We use it for our networks. We use it for the wireless network.

The dashboard is very good. It's easy to use. 

The product is easy to manage.

It's stable and reliable.

The solution can scale.

We've found support to be helpful.

It is not too hard to set everything up. 

The price could be lower. It's expensive.

The availability needs to be improved. We cannot get them right now. 

I've used the solution for four years. 

The solution is stable. I'd rate it ten out of ten. It is very stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. 

The solution can scale. I'd rate it eight out of ten. It's easy to extend. 

We've talked with technical support. They are helpful and responsive. We're happy with the level of support we get.

I have previously used Cisco solutions. I prefer the HPE dashboard. 

We are an integrator and help our clients implement the solution.

Typically we need three people, including two engineers, to set up the solution. 

We can handle the initial setup. 

The solution is quite expensive. 

I can't speak to the exact cost of the solution. In one year, we pay a lot for it. We just bought new switches for $500 last year, and now, the same switch is $800. It's gone up in price in the last 12 months. They are also hard in terms of getting switches. They are not available now. 

There are no additional costs over and above licensing. 

We are using the latest version of the solution. We use it daily. 

We do have some local, in-country restrictions we have to deal with.

I'd recommend the solution. However, we are finding they are not available at all. Therefore, we need to work with other options.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. 

The company wanted to extend our network and also wants to have the SAN storage, so we deployed it on other switches to create a new network segment and also connect the SAN switches on it.

The solution works well and offers good performance. The client is satisfied. 

We found the installation process to be simple. 

The solution is stable.

It can scale. 

Technical support is fine.

I cannot say what areas need improvement. 

We would always be happier if the price were reduced. 

I've used the solution for less than one year. 

The solution is stable. It offers good performance. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It's scalable. 

We only have two clients on the solution at this time. 

Technical support has been fine. They are okay. I find them to be responsive. If we need help with something, we can get assistance. 

I'm working a lot with Aruba Switches right now. 

The product is straightforward to set up. It's simple. We did not find it to be complex. One switch might take a day to deploy and two or three days to finalize the operations and make it stable. It takes about that long to make sure everything is working well. 

I'm not sure of the exact cost of the solution. Of course, it could always be less expensive. 

I'd recommend the solution to certain clients. It's a fine product.

I would rate the solution seven out of ten. 

The primary use case is EdgeSwitches.

The most valuable feature is that they all have PoE. It's one of the most important things that we need in EdgeSwitch.

One of the reasons we keep them alive is because these switches have a lifetime warranty, so it's a major point on their use.

We haven't had any issues with this switch in the past 10 years. That's the reason we're still keeping them alive.

The solution is deployed on-premise.

I have been using this solution for 10 years.

The solution is stable.

It is scalable.

Right now, we have 200 people using this solution. We aren't planning to increase usage in the future because the global solution is appointing another brand of switches that we probably will implement in the next year.

Technical support is quite good, but we haven't needed it.

For an IT network specialist, initial setup is quite simple. There's no problem at all.

We didn't use any consultants or resellers for deployment.

The licensing cost is yearly, and there aren't any additional costs on top of the standard fee.

I would rate this solution 9 out of 10. It's not a 10 out of 10 because of the price.

My advice is to trust the solution. It is a reliable product, and it works well without a lot of attention. We can leave them and almost forget about it.

We are using HPE Ethernet Switches for the inter-server connection. I am using a 12-year-old version of the solution.

HPE Ethernet Switches have a lifetime warranty. I am using an old version of the solution, but I have heard the new models have incorporated a lot of new features, such as remote setup.

They should continue to work on new features.

I have been using HPE Ethernet Switches for approximately two years.

 I have found HPE Ethernet Switches to be highly stable. It has been working 365 days a year for many years.

We have not requited the scalability of the solution. HPE Ethernet Switches have been good enough.

I have not needed to contact technical support. I have not had issues.

We were using Juniper switches previously. We changed it due to the cost. HP had offered us a very low cost to buy the switch.

The installation is simple, and the configuration was straightforward. The process took approximately one hour.

I did the implementation myself and only one engineer is required for support.

HP switches are priced well.

I would recommend HPE Ethernet Switches to others. 

I rate HPE Ethernet Switches a ten out of ten.

We use these switches to distribute our network and control the traffic.

The simplicity of the commands is most valuable. The commands are the same for several devices. 

These switches are also easy to use.

They should have more control tools for controlling the bandwidth. They should also have more reporting and alerts for downtime.

I have been using this solution for six years. 

It is stable.

It has good scalability. It can grow easily. 

Currently, 250 people are using it in my organization. We don't have any plans to increase its usage.

We have experience with a gold partner. They are not HPE, but we have a good experience with them.

We have used Cisco switches.

They're pretty easy to install. They don't require a lot of effort to install.

The installation duration depends on the configuration, but normally, it takes 30 minutes to one hour.

Sometimes, I install it myself, and other times, I use a consultant and integrator. 

For their deployment and maintenance, we have a technical team of two managers.

We need to pay when we buy the switch. We pay for a license to use the software, but it is not required.

I would recommend this solution to others who want to start using it. I would rate HPE Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

We are using the HPE Ethernet Switches in our office to stream and to join the internet.

The reason we are using this switch is for the buffer that we have.

It's easy to use.

There is a limitation of capability. To move to OpenFlow is very difficult.

Also, there is a limitation with the team protocols.

We had some issues with the dashboard. When we tried changing the PR or some parameters, it was not completely syncing.

We had two different values passing through the dashboard once you pass through the command line.

I have been working with HPE Ethernet Switches from 2012 to 2020.

We are using HP version 5830 and 5920. 

The 5920 version is a 24 port gig, and the 5830 is a 48 port and a 24 port gig.

It's very stable. Since 2012 it has always been in production and it is used on a daily basis, 24 hours per day.

It's scalable. We have scaled it without any issues.

We have 10 people in our organization who are using this product.

We have a person that we contact through HPE when we have issues. Once they found a solution, we have not any problems.

The initial setup is complex.

The pricing is very good.

I would recommend these two versions of switches that we have been using.

When we compared with Cisco, we chose HPE because of the buffer and the architecture is more suitable than Cisco.

I would rate the HPE Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten.
