It has been very reliable for us compared to other Chinese products. 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. HPE is very rugged, and we haven't encountered any issues with them. It's a solid product. The performance is good, but it definitely depends on the user and how they utilize the equipment. So, it relies heavily on the IT team. For our needs, it's good enough and sufficient. We have more availability and even additional nodes, so we haven't faced any issues.

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Sep 29, 2024

Valuable Features

"The most valuable features of HPE Ethernet switches include configuring VLAN trunking and the overall ease of configuration."
"HPE Ethernet Switches offer a good return on investment. They offer a lifetime warranty, which is good. Cisco SMB level only declares a one-year warranty, and for the enterprise level, you need to get a service pack, which costs extra."
"We also get a couple of reports about the user or connected devices for prioritization."

Room for Improvement

"Integrating AI features could make it better."
"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."
"It is a bit complex to configure."

Pricing

"The cost is a bit high."
"It would be great if certain features, like licensing, were included in the base price of the switches."
