We performed a comparison between Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches and HPE 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."The most important feature related to this solution is that most of the time, it covers all of what we need for our projects."
"The deployment of the solution is quite fast."
"It is easy to use and stable."
"The installation process is straightforward."
"it's a stable solution. We have not experienced any bugs or issues. Many data centers and enterprise data centers prefer Cisco to any other product because they are very stable."
"The most valuable feature is basic networking functionality."
"In a previous use case, we deployed Linksys Switches for blocking unwanted signals within a premises with the help of their clean air technology. This was one of the notable advantages of Linksys Switches over Cisco."
"The stability of the program is excellent."
"I have found the most valuable feature is stability."
"The most valuable feature is that they all have PoE. It's one of the most important things that we need in the EdgeSwitch."
"The most valuable product is the unmanaged HP switch."
"The performance is great."
"HPE Ethernet Switches are scalable, and their software is also quite sturdy."
"These switches are very stable, to date I have not experienced any issues."
"The solution is very stable and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature in HPE Ethernet Switches is programmability and analytics."
"Endpoints need to be improved."
"Having the option for a web-based interface would be an improvement over being forced to use the CLI."
"Technical documents and other configuration-related information should be more freely available online."
"Pricing is an area with a shortcoming since the solution is expensive."
"The documentation should be improved from Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. Although it hints or refers to being able to do certain operations, they try to get you to load the software instead. They need to be more open with their documentation on using the web interface and give the client the option to use the software or not. This improvement is not on the switch itself, it is in the packaging."
"The solution's framework and some of the techniques need improvement. I've been watching Aruba, and they have a lot of technologies within the access points. For example, it has a virtual controller to connect all Aruba switches."
"The pricing can be a bit unstable."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches’s stability and pricing needs improvement."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"In the next release, I would like to see them include more features like the Aruba solution, to have more possibilities concerning the software design."
"The management of the tool must be improved."
". There is room for improvement in pricing. One box shouldn't require additional installations. We need a package deal with licenses that are usable for different tasks. Right now, we need a license for every additional feature, which adds up."
"They should continue to work on new features."
"The installation can be quite complex. However, that may not be the fault of HP and is rather more related to the way our infrastructure is arranged."
"Technical support needs improvement, as the response time could be better."
"Authentication and other security features are not easily satisfied using the lower-end switches."
