The platform is a good starting point for small and medium-sized enterprises. However, as your business grows and requires more advanced networking features, you might need to consider alternative solutions that offer better scalability and support for more complex environments. I rate it a seven out of ten.
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. If you want a better environment, it’s crucial to consider what you need from your network before you encounter troubles looking for specific brands or unique product features. Determine why you need your network and what it will do. Then, you can find the product or solutions that meet these requirements. Most of the time, HPE will provide the most suitable and superior solutions in this regard. It performs well and offers the reliability you need. It also includes very good features; for instance, segmentation is an exceptionally useful feature because it allows you to isolate or allocate resources specifically. These are the most important things to consider. Previously, we used non-HPE switches, but as we started adding more devices, like our camera system, to the network, we needed switches capable of Power over Ethernet (PoE), which HPE was offering at that time. It was a good experience to purchase, install, and integrate them into our environment; everything worked much better thereafter.
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.
If an organization is financially capable of buying the tool, they can buy it. It might be beneficial in the long term. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
I might recommend the product for future projects in our organization. HPE ProCurve is a great tool. We can test it and use it. It has a great price, stability, and functionality. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
It depends on the size of the company and the number of users, as well as the type of network they plan to deploy. In my company, we have successfully implemented HPE ProCurve as it aligns with our requirements. Generally, I would recommend HPE ProCurve. Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Many solutions are in the cloud and it is challenging to continue to use HPE ProCurve. We are moving to cloud solutions. I rate HPE ProCurve an eight out of ten.
If you are considering HPE ProCurve, I would advise you to see if the feature set matches your requirements. Although ProCurve's feature set is not as comprehensive as that of others, it does offer feature sets that are sufficient for most use cases. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate HPE ProCurve at eight.

HPE had started migrating to the Arubas, or at least in the market that my company deals with a while back, so that's pretty much all that my company has been dealing with lately, particularly the HPE layer three switches that replaced the HPE ProCurve. HPE pretty much replaced a lot of the product line with Aruba, so my company works with Aruba switches from HPE, and that's the HPE ProCurve now. It's what HPE migrated to, particularly with the small to mid-market businesses here. In terms of the number of users of HPE ProCurve, one of the larger systems my company deals with has around five hundred users. For maintenance, there's typically just one person, so it's a low-maintenance product. My advice to others looking into implementing HPE ProCurve is that it's a fairly good platform because my company does about four or five other different systems, but one of the biggest things with HPE ProCurve is that its web interface will get you 95% there, but you still have to know or learn the CLI commands to be able to do what you need when you get into more complex scenarios with VLANs and trunking and core aggregation. I would rate HPE ProCurve nine out of ten. My company is an integrator of HPE ProCurve, but it doesn't have a formal partnership with HPE, unlike what it has with Dell, Cisco, or some of the other brands.

This is a good solution and I recommend it to our customers. Of course, some of them are locked into certain vendors, such as Cisco. When we introduce it to new customers using a PoC, they see that it is stable, easy to manage, and easy to use. It has worked well for us. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

My advice to anybody who is implementing this solution is to plan well. Most of the reason for error is poor planning. Be sure to ask your vendor questions because there are no dumb questions. Rather, silly mistakes happen when people implement without a full understanding. This is a good product but there is always room for improvement in these kinds of devices. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
This solution is good and it's solid. It does its job. I would recommend this solution because it's affordable, scalable, and it is everything you need. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
If they are looking into implementing this solution, just go with it. It would be very wise. I would recommend this product. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

We use the HP Procurve for the distribution switches. It's a 25-30 modem. We use the on-premises deployment model. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. No solution is perfect. You still need to configure it a bit once you implement it. However, it's quite simple and very good to use.
We used the on-premises deployment model. We're resellers of the solution. Currently, I use a different solution that offers web-based management so I can gain access from anywhere and don't have to be on-site to manage the solution; I've switched from HPE earlier this year. I'd recommend the solution. It's good and easy to use. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

We use the latest version of the firmware, or operating system, on the switches. We try to keep them updated. We use the on-premises deployment model. It's difficult to give any kind of advice on the solution. It depends on the situation, what the infrastructure is, how advanced, and complex, etc. In general, HPE has products that cover almost everyone's needs from basic, small networks to complex huge campus networks for universities or large organizations. They have a good product line. It just takes some knowledge and competence to maintain them. I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.
