Security, reliability, and cost-effectiveness drive success across different business scales
HPE Ethernet Switches are very much covered on the security front due to their ClearPass technology, which is exceptional. They are highly scalable and stable, which is vital for large enterprises that require reliable performance. Additionally, HPE Ethernet Switches offer a cost-saving advantage as they are approximately 40% cheaper than comparable Cisco solutions. The integration of the switches is very straightforward, making them an attractive choice for many organizations.

Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the IRF."
"All the ProVisions and Comware-based switches work very, very well."
"It's fairly lightweight, they don't require a lot of maintenance."
"The Software-Defined Networking (SDN) features I find most valuable are directly programmable and configurable, centrally manageable, and can control traffic system-wide."
"We deployed HP for almost five years and it's been rock solid."
"The switches are very important in our hospitals, which is a critical environment for our patients. They provide time-effective management and meet our needs."
"It's easy to use for switch management."
"We've seen an ROI; with some switches, they are still with us, they're still operational, and if we didn't replace them for the upgrade they'd still be working, so they last a very long time and you get your money's worth."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
 

Cons

"It would be better if they improve the implementation of SD-WAN. There could be improved automation as well."
"HPE Ethernet Switches have room for improvement in the initial setup and integration process, especially when incorporating them into an existing infrastructure with competitor products."
"Authentication and other security features are not easily satisfied using the lower-end switches."
"It is a bit complex to configure."
"Price is an area for improvement. Cisco is very competitive on price, considering future business. HPE Ethernet Switches and Aruba need to think about their pricing. Aruba's price was 25 percent higher than Cisco's in a recent Central Bank project in Sri Lanka."
"The quality of the service needs improvement."
"Graphical User Interface (GUI) needs enhancement."
"Integrating AI features could make it better."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive."
"Licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
"I like HPE switches because you get a perpetual license with the hardware. The initial cost is about the same as other switches, but it starts beating the competitors after three or four years because you don't have to pay for additional annual licensing costs."
"HP switches are priced well."
"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."
"We have to pay for a yearly license for HPE Ethernet Switches."
"This is not an expensive solution."
"I believe HPE is less expensive than Aruba's and UniFi and that is why certain clients have chosen them as their solution."
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
