Overall Satisfaction with HPE Aruba Ethernet Switches

We primarily use HPE Aruba Ethernet Switches as our core and edge switches. In particular, their PoE offerings are excellent, as they are competitively priced and provide rock-solid performance. We have all of our PoE infrastructure connected to HPE Aruba Ethernet Switches, from our security cameras, to access points, to server endpoints and workstations. HPE Aruba Ethernet Switches are the backbone of our network.

Pros

  • Power-over-Ethernet
  • VLAN
  • Load distribution
  • Reliability

Cons

  • Provide better options for device monitoring and tracking, be it SNMP or other.
  • Provides stability in our network with virtually no downtime since deployment.
  • Provides peace of mind due to warranty and quality of hardward.
  • Allows for great flexibility when customizing our networks.
They are excellent devices for the money. Rock-solid, workhorses that run very efficiently. I've had no issues in the years we've had them in our production networks.
The Instant On units seem to work best for edge switches. Our core switches are still the regular HPE Aruba Ethernet Switches, due to their reliability and robustness.
