Provides ease of management and has an easy initial setup process

Pros

"The product has streamlined our smart hospitality services, allowing us to control room amenities like TVs and lights more efficiently. "

Cons

"They could provide platform integration with other management tools for better reporting. "

Offers good availability even with additional nodes and efficiently handles network traffic but it is expensive

Pros

"I'm a power user, so reliability is crucial. The HPE equipment hasn't failed on me, unlike some other brands like Huawei, which I find more sensitive. "

Cons

". 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. "

Allows to monitor all the switches online so we can see what is happening and offers good security features

Pros

"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."

Cons

"The cost could be better. HPE has to study it carefully with other vendors in the market, like Cisco or Juniper."

Reliable and long-lasting network equipment with good customer support

Pros

"These switches have been in use for easily 11 years."

Cons

"There have been no significant improvements to our network performance as the switches we are using are quite old and we have not been able to take advantage of any new features."

They're solid and can last for up to 15 years

Pros

"I like that HPE's management functions are GUI-based, so it doesn't rely on command lines. "

Cons

"I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass." "

Monitors the switches 24/7 and offers data about the traffic going through the switches

Pros

"We also get a couple of reports about the user or connected devices for prioritization."

Cons

"It is a bit complex to configure."

Support really stands out, stable and easy to setup

Pros

"The initial setup is straightforward. The steps are simple, and you can always contact support if needed. Overall, it's easy."

Cons

"Some users might look for high-speed switching like Cisco or Nexus switches, which can handle larger volumes. HPE's current offerings aren't as robust in that area, but they could improve."

Provides an ease of management and valuable security features

Pros

"We can easily replace components without incurring significant costs in an error or failure."

Cons

" There could be features for ransomware attack detection and enhanced anomaly detection to identify and mitigate anonymous traffic."
