We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and Huawei Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is slightly more price effective than Juniper and it has a slightly larger range."
"It's a reliable product that you can depend on."
"There is a limited lifetime warranty with the switches, so if we have any problems, the switch is replaced very quickly."
"Aruba is very easy to use, the GUI is very good and the command line is quite similar to Cisco, so it is very easy to configure."
"I like how Aruba switches integrate with On."
"It can scale well."
"The solution's most valuable aspect is its monitoring capabilities."
"With Aruba, I like its stability and lifetime warranty."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches excel in compatibility with other brands, offering features to ensure seamless communication with existing protocols. This allows them to work alongside switches from different manufacturers, such as Cisco, by making adjustments on both ends for compatibility."
"They have the ability, since they have a very big R&D team, to create an upgrade for any feature or patch very easily."
"The tool’s pricing is reasonable. It has a high throughput capacity."
"Huawei switches come in small, medium, and large capacities and can be used for monitoring and switching."
"The affordability of this solution has been most useful."
"It integrates well."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its very simple configuration."
"Scalability isn't an issue."
"Aruba Switches' price could improve, if they were less expensive it would be beneficial."
"The port flexibility on the 54 series, specifically the 5406 for core usage, could be improved. When I want to upgrade to 10G, I don't have many options to choose from."
"In my opinion, Aruba's new features, like the new firmware, need to be improved."
"The product could be a little more competitive price-wise."
"We would like to see centralized, cloud-based management."
"There is a long delay in receiving Aruba Switches when ordered. There should not be a long delay in receiving the solution. Additionally, there should be a lifetime warranty to compete with other solutions."
"If we compare Aruba and Cisco at the data center layer, Cisco has its Nexus switch. Aruba provides the new 10000 series, but it does not compare with the Nexus switch."
"It would be better and easier for us to buy if the price were reduced."
"The technical support is a bit difficult to work with if you don't speak Mandarin."
"One of the problems with Huawei is that when you receive a product quote from one of the vendors, you cannot get prices from the other ones because they register your request with Huawei."
"The documentation needs to be better."
"There needs to be more documentation. If they opened up a bit and shared more information and maybe allowed for YouTube videos about their products and how to work them, it would benefit the users quite a bit."
"The stability can be improved."
"The tool is not very robust in harsh environments. Issues with cooling and power can cause these switches to fail, which concerns customers. They work well in data centers but might be problematic in places without cooling or heat."
"I didn't like the Huawei Switches because of the different versions resetting the configuration issue. Huawei doesn't support Layer 3 modes while TOE and ARP have some issues."
"The knowledge base needs to be improved and expanded."
