HPE ProCurve Reviews

The most valuable features of HPE ProCurve are its lifetime warranty, robust design, and beneficial administration management of WiFi networks.

HPE ProCurve is very complex for junior engineers and beginners. You need a lot of experience in managing switches in order to use this switch.

I have been using HPE ProCurve for approximately three years.

HPE ProCurve is a highly stable solution. It is more stable than Cisco or Linksys.

The scalability of HPE ProCurve is very good.

We have approximately 300 users using this solution in my organization. We plan to increase our usage.

The support from HPE ProCurve is very good in my country.

We previously used many other types of HPE switches. We have a large number of switches.

The initial setup of HPE ProCurve is complex if you compare it to other solutions, such as Cisco or Linksys. You require more knowledge to be able to implement the HPE ProCurve. The process can take approximately one week.

We did the implementation of HPE ProCurve in-house. We have a team that supports the solution.

The price of HPE ProCurve is very good.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate HPE ProCurve a ten out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for switching only on the LAN. That's it.

The solution is very stable.

It's great for small businesses.

We don't mind the cost in general.

The security is fine.

The installation itself is pretty quick and simple. 

The licensing is good.

We don't really have any complaints. We aren't missing any features. 

It might be best if it offers better scalability.

I've been using the solution for ten years. It's been a very long time. 

The stability is good and the performance is reliable for small businesses. 

The solution can scale.

We have less than 50 people who are using it at this point. 

We do not have plans to increase usage. We are slowly getting rid of it right now. 

I like the support of HPE. They are helpful and responsive. If something happens they can jump in. They are very fast. We're quite satisfied with them.

We are getting rid of the HPE. We want to shift away from it.

We might have used something smaller in the past, however, now we are moving to enterprise-grade.

It's an easy, straightforward setup. The deployment doesn't take longer than an hour. It's good. You only need one technical person to manage the setup process. We have a systems admin who does it. 

We did not need a consultant or integrator. We have an inside person who knows it pretty well.

It's not overly expensive. 

I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using.

I'd suggest it to others. It does have endless client support, which is great.

In general, I would rate the solution eight out of ten.

We are in the healthcare industry. Most of our switches are modular because we need a lot of ports in one location.

The most valuable feature is reliability.

The pricing could be improved.

I would like to see some kind of packet tracer where people can study how the switch is operating.

White box switching support is something that I would like to see in the future.

I have been working with HPE ProCurve for at least 17 years.

This is a very reliable solution. In the 17 years that I have been using this product, I have had two power supply failures. However, these did not result in downtime because each switch has at least two power supplies. I was never left without the switch working due to a hardware failure.

We have more than 1,000 users in total but on a daily basis, there are 600 to 700 users in two locations.

The technical support from HP is very good. The last time I had a question, not a repair, but just a question of any kind was perhaps 10 years ago. I normally have a good recovery plan in advance of making any changes, which means that I don't have to bother the HP help desk with frivolous questions.

Prior to this solution, I was working with Cisco switches, which we still have a lot of. We have physical network layers and for some purposes, the Cisco switches are very good. My preference, however, is ProCurve.

I have experience with switches from Dell. They lack some features but they are much cheaper than HPE.

I find the initial setup to be easy and straightforward.

I perform the implementation, deployment, and maintenance. If I need to clear up the fiber channel, a transceiver, or something else, then I do it myself. If we need to connect and patch one of the switches then I just configure a port, send an email, and the local staff can do the patching.

This is an expensive switch.

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to plan well. Most of the reason for error is poor planning. Be sure to ask your vendor questions because there are no dumb questions. Rather, silly mistakes happen when people implement without a full understanding.

This is a good product but there is always room for improvement in these kinds of devices.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

HPE ProCurve is a switch used in a network.

The most valuable features of HPE ProCurve are the reports, lifetime warranty, and CLI.

One of the weakest points of this solution is its on-premise. We are not able to do all we need to with the CLI. 

I have been using HPE ProCurve for approximately 20 years.

The solution is stable. I have not had any hardware fail. If there is a problem it is typically a human error. There are problems with Cisco switches more than with HPE ProCurve.

I rate the stability of HPE ProCurve a ten out of ten.

I have used many HPE ProCurve solutions and I have used thousands of ports without issues.

I rate the scalability of HPE ProCurve a ten out of ten.

I have had contact with HP's local partners. However, they were not the direct support from HP. The response is typically the following day after we have raised our concern.

The solution is more expensive than other vendors. There is hardware and software that needs to be purchased in some circumstance. The software can sometimes be expensive.

You have to pay for additional licenses for features.

Many solutions are in the cloud and it is challenging to continue to use HPE ProCurve. We are moving to cloud solutions.

I rate HPE ProCurve an eight out of ten.

We use HPE ProCurve in our institute for networking.

HPE ProCurve's most valuable feature is that it is user-friendly.

I have been using HPE ProCurve for approximately 20 years.

HPE ProCurve is stable.

The scalability of HPE ProCurve is good. We have over 600 systems using this solution.

I have contacted the support from HPE ProCurve and they provide the best support. HPE ProCurve has a response to our issues the same day.

I have not used other solutions previously.

The initial setup of HPE ProCurve is easy.

We install the solutions ourselves using approximately two managers or administrators.

HPE ProCurve price could improve. We have a three-year warranty.

I rate HPE ProCurve a nine out of ten.

It is stable, and it fulfills our needs. We have all the functions we need, so we're totally satisfied.

There should be faster interfaces on the switch, such as 25 gigabits.

I have been using this solution for five years.

It is stable.

It is scalable.

I would rate them a 10 out of 10.

Positive

We had Cisco before. It was considerably less than Cisco.

Its initial setup is easy. 

We had help from our supplier.

We are a public company, so we are obliged to take the best offer from the vendors. 
They gave us the best price for the needs we had. It was considerably less than Cisco. It had
maybe 40% lower cost.

We evaluated Cisco, Juniper, and HPE.

I would rate it a 10 out of 10.

The solution is a network switch, this is what it is used for by my customers.

The most valuable feature is reliability.

Since we transfer from one to ten gigabits of information, in a future release, it would benefit to have more high-speed ports. For example, the uplink should be 40 gigabits or 100 gigabits. That would be very welcome. The first few models of HPE ProCurve that do have such features are way too expensive for our customer.

The image of the solution has dropped in recent years due to HPE enterprise management. Moving the location of where the product line is produced was not good.

I have been using the solution for 20 years.

We have found the solution to be entirely stable.

The solution is easy to scale. We predominately deal with small-sized businesses and the biggest configuration we have implemented so far has been 84 screens.

We have used Mikrotik and Cisco products before. For the Mikrotik products, we only use models that are routers and with the Cisco products, there seems to be a new backdoor or a failure in firmware discovered and has to be patched. I have found this solution to be the best.

Being an information scientist and a service provider, the installation is simple.

We do the implementation and the difficulty depends on the number of ports and workstations the client works with. We do not do DHCP configurations, we work with static IPs only. Each port and PC has to be configured separately which can take time.

The price could be more competitive. Everything is included in the price as there are no security features that need to be updated, it is just the hardware alone.

Before purchasing this solution it is important to read the manual, it has everything you need.

I rate HPE ProCurve an eight out of ten.

We use this switch as part of our network infrastructure and we also implement it for our clients.

This is a very durable product and the pricing is reasonable.

The GUI makes it easy to configure, manage, and work with.

Our customers are focused on features and generally, they would like to have a more feature-rich solution.

Better performance and more speed would be an improvement.

I have been working with HPE ProCurve for at least six or seven years.

HPE ProCurve is a stable solution.

The scalability depends on how the environment is designed and which modules are installed.

Our clients vary in size from small businesses to large government.

When I first started, I needed a lot of support and I found them to be excellent. Overall, I am very satisfied with it.

This solution is easy to install and configure. 

HPE ProCurve products are reasonably priced.

There are similar products by other vendors and they are all priced similarly. 

This is a good solution and I recommend it to our customers. Of course, some of them are locked into certain vendors, such as Cisco. When we introduce it to new customers using a PoC, they see that it is stable, easy to manage, and easy to use. It has worked well for us.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
