Available to users at a very low price but needs improvement in the firewall area
The product is very easy to install. When it comes to OmniSwitch 6200, OmniSwitch 6300, or OmniSwitch 6600, you can install it in an hour and a half quickly without any problem implementing the configuration, but it's not stable. When it comes to OmniSwitch 6400, OmniSwitch 6800, or OmniSwitch 9700, mostly the tools are limited in terms of the protocol. The switch cannot be managed to manage the power of our ethernet. For example, if we connect an iPhone to the switch, 740 watts will be required, but after six months, someone will discover that the port doesn't work anymore. Even if we configure it to push the power of a port, it will not work. It's not really, it's not, it's not work. At the same time, the problem was that the tool was very old, like Alcatel OmniPCX Enterprise PABX system. In Alcatel, there are only two types of architecture, the old and new ones. For example, on the outside, if there is a need for 24 ports to be implemented on telephony, then we implement less than that number to connect to the end of the phone, which is a very serious problem that is not resolved by the product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's support is very great."
"The support has been responsive and helpful."
"What's most valuable in HPE Wireless WAN is that it works fine for customers with existing HPE controllers."
"The most valuable features of HPE Wireless WAN are high quality and capability."
"It's easy to use."

"The WiFi and high scalability are the most valuable features."

Cons

"The tool's VPN Firewall Brick did not work well since it doesn't have an interface with the cloud to upload the last signature, so it doesn't have this mechanism."
"I would say that the integration with other vendors in areas such as management or the visibility of other vendors in the management tools could be improved."
"It should be a faster device."
"The license cost of the product is an area where the prices are neither expensive nor cheap, leaving a scope for the prices to be lowered further."
"Technical support could be improved. They could respond a bit faster."
"The scalability and the support could be better."
"The solution works smoothly unless more than twenty users connect to a single access point, at which point it becomes overloaded."
"The installation is easy. However, my implementation is complicated and you would need special training to complete it."
"Stability could be improved, and technical support needs to be faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's price is very low."
"We don't pay a licensing fee, we purchased the product."
"We have been satisfied with the price."
