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. 

We use HPE Ethernet Switches in hospitals and governments.

We have some problems with the performance of our HPE Ethernet Switches because they are old.

I have used HPE Ethernet Switches within the past 12 months.

The solution is highly stable.

We have one client using the solution.

The support of HPE Ethernet Switches is responsive and helpful.

HPE Ethernet Switches are more difficult to implement than other solutions, such as Aruba, because the configuration has to be done one by one, it's not saved centrally. You are not able to automatically configure them across the hardware.

I utilized a significant amount of HP technology in order to create a stacking configuration, incorporating various models as needed. This was because Aruba, which is a well-established brand, is frequently used for stacking purposes. However, in our particular scenario, I utilized HPE Ethernet Switches, despite it being an older technology, and decided to stack them. To provide a specific example, I utilized the HP 2930 model, which is stackable as per the guidelines provided by the model guide. Additionally, I integrated artificial intelligence to further optimize the process. However, for improved results, scaling up is necessary.

I did the implementation of the solution.

The price of the solution is expensive.

I rate the price of HPE Ethernet Switches a ten out of ten.

I would recommend this solution to others who have traditional environments.

I rate HPE Ethernet Switches a ten out of ten.

Our primary use case is for layer three or four switches.

I have found the most valuable feature is stability.

I would like to see the initial setup become easier.

I have been using HPE Ethernet Switches for the past two or three years.

There is stability.

The management required we switch to HPE Ethernet Switches. There could be a variety of reasons why management makes the switch.

When you do the deployment you simply call and verify the device and serial number. Once this is done you can access the data.

The licensing cost is set up annually or every three years.

I would rate HPE Ethernet Switches an overall eight on a scale of one to ten.

We use HPE Ethernet Switches for network switching. 

This solution is deployed on-premise. 

The most valuable features of this solution are the interface and configuration. It's very easy to use. 

The only improvement I can think of is that it could be better with less updates. 

I have been working with HPE Ethernet Switches for more than 10 years. 

The performance is fine. 

This solution is easily scalable. 

In my organization, there are maybe 200 end users of this solution. 

The technical support is really good. They're fast, knowledgeable, and customer-ready. 

The installation took one hour, and I was involved in the process. For deployment, we had a team of two engineers. 

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

There are no licensing costs for this solution. It's lifetime, so it's okay. 

I rate HPE Ethernet Switches a 10 out of 10, and recommend this solution to others. To those considering implementation, I would say: if you want a lifetime solution, then go with HPE. 

We use HPE Ethernet Switches as a small business tool.

The most valuable feature in HPE Ethernet Switches is programmability and analytics.

The solution could improve by having more integration options.

I have been using HPE Ethernet Switches for approximately 10 years

The technical support is good.

I rate HPE Ethernet Switches a ten out of ten.

It is a scalable solution.

The stability could be improved, and the price could be cheaper as well.

We have used HPE Switches for about five years.

It is not very stable.

It is scalable.

Price wise, it is a more expensive solution.

I would rate HPE Ethernet Switches at six on a scale from one to ten.

We use the solution as an enterprise network switch.

The main features of the solution I have found to be the interface and unique features other solutions do not have. Additionally, they have a lifetime warranty on the hardware.

There is some improvement needed for the power supply of the solution.

I have been using the solution for approximately five years.

We had 8,000 students using the solution in one of my client's organizations. We do plan to increase usage in the future.

The customer support is very good, you create a ticket and they get back to you quickly with a response.

I was using other solutions previously, such as Fortinet, Cisco, and Juniper Switches. I prefer FortiSwitch more than HP Switches because FortiSwitch has more capabilities that are not supported by any other solution, for example, FortiLink. However, HPE is a very good company and is very large.

The initial installation is easy.

All the solutions have a license for the QSFP. Additionally, there is a one-time license fee to increase the interface speed.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate HPE Ethernet Switches a nine out of ten.

We usually use level 2 switches. We also do level 3 management.

They are affordable and very stable. They also have good performance.

VLAN can be improved, but I have to check that with the company expert. 

I have different switch models, but they don't have all the same interface. I don't know whether lower-level switches don't have the same interface as the better quality ones. I might have two different model types.

I have been using this solution for about eight years.

These switches are very stable. They didn't have any downtime.

I am not sure if I can manage our new requirements through these because they are too old. We might have to replace them. Currently, they are 100 megabits and 2 gigabits. I might have to change to the gigabit one.

I never dealt with their technical support.

They are quite easy to deploy.

They are affordable and less expensive than Cisco. Their price was the decider at the time.

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

The solution is great in the sense that it has all of the capabilities of all of the other switches and it is very competitive in the market.

The solution is very stable.

The speed is very fast.

It can scale as well as other switches on the market.

The pricing is very good. It's less expensive than, for example, Cisco.

The installation is very easy.

The solution could always improve its stability. It's pretty stable already, however.

The solution is very comparable to Huawei, however, it could be more scalable. Huawei is easier to scale.

I've been using the solution for several years at this point.

The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's very reliable in terms of the performance it offers us.

The solution can scale well. It's comparable to other switches on the market in terms of its scalability potential. If a company needs to expand it, it should be able to do so.

We have 200 users on the solution currently. We do plan to continue to use the product.

I've been in touch with technical support in the past and have found them to be very helpful and responsive. We're satisfied with the level of service we receive when we contact them.

I use a variety of different solutions. I work with Aruba Switches and Ubiquiti Switches as well as Cisco and Huawei Switches.

The process of installing the solution is not overly complex or difficult. It's very easy and extremely straightforward. A company won't struggle with the process at all.

The deployment is very fast. It doesn't take much time. Of course, different requirements mean that users need to take into account different configurations.

One of its greatest selling features is its price. It's very cheap - much cheaper than Cisco. That, coupled with its general comparable capabilities to other items on the market make it a very attractive option.

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

When you compare it to other switches, there are no real big differences. It may have a few different specifications here or there, however, largely, it's comparable to everything else that is also on the market.

In general, on a scale from one to ten, I would rate the solution at an eight. I've been largely quite pleased with its overall capabilities so far.

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