Enterasys Campus LAN Switches vs HPE ProCurve comparison

"The performance is good."

"Extreme Networks is the only one that has this kind of universal switch. It simplifies things greatly. Customers no longer have to worry about the price differences between traditional and fabric technology switches, which used to have their own pricing. This has made it easier for us as solution providers to tailor options for our customers with fewer but more suitable choices."

"Enterasys Campus LAN Switches is a trustable and powerful solution. The solution has good web management features. You can do whatever you want, like a CLI. The solution is easy to diagnose and manage. I like the Linux-based operating system. If any service crashes, you need to restart the system."

"The GUI makes it easy to configure, manage, and work with."

"HPE ProCurve is used to connect servers and storage in the data center."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"HPE ProCurve is very complex for junior engineers and beginners. You need a lot of experience in managing switches in order to use this switch."

"It's easy to manage and configure. The configurations can be exported and imported to another solution."

"The product is robust."

"It is easy to deploy."

"In my experience, the scalability has been good."

"The tool's price is high. We need a cost-effective service. It also needs to add wireless controller features like Huawei."

"While the support is good, it could be better, and the price could be reduced."

"Security features do exist, and they're mostly common with other switches. What makes these switches unique is the ability to see application layers on the switch, but not directly through the switch. There are tools from Extreme Networks that allow visibility of such traffic, which other switches lack. Extreme CloudIQ analytics can analyze all the traffic on Extreme Switches up to layer seven, offering full visibility. However, this tool is necessary for such detailed analytics and might not be compatible with some third-party products."

"Procurve would work better if it had more options like the web environment."

"There should be faster interfaces on the switch, such as 25 gigabits."

"The only things that might need improvement would be the administrative tools and the graphical interface. The GUI could be improved on the administrative interface, for example."

"The product must provide something similar to Cisco’s command-line interface."

"The solution should offer different gigabit interfaces. Right now, they have ten gigabits. However, for our needs, we only need one gigabit. We don't need 24 or 48 ports. We only need eight to ten. HPE should introduce into their portfolio some smaller and more compact options."

"We do occasionally have issues with the solution and need to change out the switches sometimes. This can be due to the fan, but, in most cases, it's because the power supply was broken."

"One of the weakest points of this solution is its on-premise. We are not able to do all we need to with the CLI."

"The product could improve scalability and support for advanced networking features."

"The price itself is good, but the economic crisis is causing them to raise prices occasionally."

"In general, the price could be improved."

"The product is reasonably priced."

"It provides quite good value for money."

"The purchasing cost a few years ago for two units was approx €5,000."

"The price of this product is cheap."

"The price of HPE ProCurve is very good."

"We are a public company, so we are obliged to take the best offer from the vendors. They gave us the best price for the needs we had. It was considerably less than Cisco. It had maybe 40% lower cost."

"There is a license required to use HPE ProCurve."

"We have an annual support subscription."
