We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 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 product is stable. It does have only one power supply. They don't have a redundant power supply."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"I like that these switches are reliable, and the support is good."
"The technical support for this solution has improved from what it was."
"HPE is very reliable because it has a lifetime warranty, so the switches didn't give us any problems."
"The solution performs well for its price."
"HPE Ethernet Switches are scalable, and their software is also quite sturdy."
"We use HPE Ethernet Switches to provide solutions for the hotel, their guests, and IPTV."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution is very, very stable."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"The network connection should be improved."
"Authentication and other security features are not easily satisfied using the lower-end switches."
"It's gone up in price in the last 12 months."
"They should release more updates for the solution."
"The solution is very comparable to Huawei, however, it could be more scalable. Huawei is easier to scale."
"Technical support needs improvement, as the response time could be better."
"The scalability is limited."
"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.""
"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."
