Functions efficiently and is cheaper than what its competitors offer
In general, the product works fine and is efficient. It was mainly used by someone else in my company, and I just used to operate it The solution's most valuable feature is its stability because Arista falls in an industry that is very similar to Cisco. If the engineer knows Cisco's solution,…

Offers reliability and helps with vulnerability assessment
I use HPE ProCurve network in our organization. I can say that the product has improved the network flexibility in our company since I haven't seen any challenges from the last seven to eight years. The most valuable product for network management revolves around the area of VSB, also known as virtual switch bonding, which can quickly attach two or three switches or make them come together to quickly form a single switch. From a security perspective, my company does vulnerability assessment. From a security perspective, my company does vulnerability assessment. Following the hardening guidelines, the switches are configured according to the hardening parameters. The tool's reliability and uptime match our company's needs. My company enjoyed configuring the switches a lot, especially since we saw similarities between Cisco's and HPS's configuration processes. HPE ProCurve is user-friendly. We have a different product for network management, so my company doesn't use HPE ProCurve since we have already collaborated with some third-party products. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it, especially since I have been using it without any issues for many years. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

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

Cons

"We have to renew the license every three years, which can be a challenge for customers. Arista, like other vendors, now follows a license-based system."
"The complex setup phase is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see a version available with eight or sixteen ports."
"It would be ideal if the solution was less expensive."
"I think there's still room for improvement. Arista Campus LAN Switches are not highly scalable as they are hardware-based. If hardware requirements exceed capacity, the product needs to be changed, which can impact service."
"One of the issues that we have been faced with here in Brazil is that we don't have any list times for delivery."
"I would like to see some kind of packet tracer where people can study how the switch is operating."
"The product could be cheaper."
"Procurve would work better if it had more options like the web environment."
"HPE ProCurve's web interface is old, and I have to log in on each device separately, making them the product's shortcomings that need improvement."
"A few areas included in the network performance managers can be integrated into the solution's dashboard since it is the only area with a few concerns."
"There is one proprietary function they lack, and I can't remember what it was called, but it monitors the ports, and then every 10 seconds if the port is down, it can divert the traffic somewhere else."
"The product must provide something similar to Cisco’s command-line interface."
"An area for improvement in HPE ProCurve is the web interface not being as robust because you still have to go to the COI to make modifications or look at the exact configuration."

"The only licensing costs are for CloudVision, although the upfront price of the device is not cheap."
"This is an expensive switch."

"It provides quite good value for money."
"The price of HPE ProCurve is very good."
"The price of HPE ProCurve can be reasonable. However, it depends on the use case. They could improve the pricing model."
