Enterasys Campus LAN Switches vs HPE ProCurve comparison

"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 performance is good."

"We don't mind the cost in general."

"The LAN features give us exactly what we need."

"The pricing is quite competitive."

"The most valuable features are the price and the warranty."

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

"It is easy to deploy."

"HPE ProCurve has plenty of features."

"This is a very reliable solution."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"I would like to see some kind of packet tracer where people can study how the switch is operating."

"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."

"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."

"The CLI is a bit confusing. It is not the easiest to manage, especially if you come from a Cisco environment."

"The user interface (UI) could be better."

"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 has a good price compared to other solutions."

"You buy the switch and that's it."

"The price of HPE ProCurve is very good."

"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."

"The licensing for HPE ProCurve is a one-time cost, though it's varied somewhat. What my company purchased was usually between $3,500 and $5,000 one-time cost."

"The price of this product is cheap."

"HPE ProCurve products are reasonably priced."

"The product is reasonably priced."
