Traditionally, I feel service by Indian organizations is not very good. Abroad we get much better service. But HCL Comnet is very close to international standards.
   
J K Puri, GM, IS,IOCL
HCL Comnet has really lived up to our expectations. A very, very close liaison and contact has been established at all the levels right form the CEO to the operating level. The progress of project has been monitored at both the ends both by us as well as by top executives in their company and therefore the probability of any slippage or delay is out of question. I am confident that post implementation their after sales service will be equally good.
   
Dheeraj Muku, Adobe India's I.T. Chief

Anil Vaidya, IT Head, Philips India 

…When we chose Comnet we basically looked at the expertise that they had and that they demonstrated not merely talked of! HCL Comnet has been one of the pioneers in network management; many others have come in much later so it had that first-mover advantage on its side as well.

…I would say that their Network Management services per se are quite unique and they have really come to a maturity level today. That's something that many other companies in the market are only trying right now and I don't know when they'll reach that level!

   
  Arvind Pandey, Head IT, HutchisonEssar 
Basically we evaluated a number of vendors for the jobs and finally settled for Comnet on the basis of their technical competency and expertise. Also the earlier projects that Comnet had done in the field convinced us of their capabilities and expertise.
   
Dr. Deepak B Phatak, Head, Kanwal Rekhi School of Information Technology, IIT Mumbai
“… The way we go about choosing service providers for Government Institution like ours is by first isolating the best technical solutions and then judging them on the cost parameters. In Comnet's case our technical committee rated them as the most appropriate technical solution, plus the fact that they had comfortable costing too, made them the best bet for this job”.
   
Satish Naralkar, CEO, NSE.IT

…Comnet finally won our account on the basis of sheer merit and the techno-commercial standards, validated by a third party consisting of some experts.

“We found that most of the satellite companies just didn’t have the ability to set up the number of sites we required in the time frame we wanted. But Comnet seemed to be very comfortable with both the technology and the stringent time frame requirements”

“...There weren’t many vendors who could provide that kind of technology with the comfort that Comnet did. And, therefore we decided to take this solution from them.

“We found Comnet to be very impressive and aggressive”

   
G.M.Shenoy, Vice President, NSE.IT

HCL Comnet has brought to the desk a different kind of professionalism… The way they work with us has been extremely impressive. Instances like the satellite failure and shifting of the Hub etc. prove the point. During these incidents the Comnet team worked with us day and night to put the network back on track without bothering about the commercials etc. at all. Their focus was very clear, there is a job to be done and lets do that first before bothering about anything else…so instances such as these give a totally new dimension to professionalism!

…Doing very good work! Keep it going!

K Chitra, Asstt. Secretary IT, LIC
The overall experience with Comnet has been extremely good especially with reference to our Mumbai center, which interacts with Comnet on a regular basis for technical assistance as well as other services…
   
S.V. Zaregaonkar, Sr. V. P. & CFO, IndusInd Bank Ltd.
“HCL Comnet’s customer references and market credibility was much higher that that of its competitors - we were, infact, very impressed by the work they had done for the NSE network- and that’s why we preferred them as our choice for a network management partner”.
   
Ajay Puri, M D, Indian Quotation Systems Pvt. Ltd. (IQSPL)
…We found that most of the satellite companies just didn’t have the ability to set up the number of sites we required in the time frame we wanted. Comnet seemed to be very comfortable with both the technology and the stringent time-frame requirements. Also, we found Comnet to be very aggressive… Thus, they were the best bet for us.
   
Shiv Kumar, CEO, ITC IBD
“…I feel their remote management services from the perspective of technology are really at par with the best. Infact, some of their value-added services definitely give them a defined edge! The service interface is not only user-friendly; it also provides pertinent details drilling down to even.

Prof. U.R. Rao, Former Chairman, Space Commission & Sec., Dept. of Space
“HCL Comnet’s technology is very good and they have technical alliances with global satellite technology leaders like Gilat etc. Their technical expertise, Hub infrastructure etc. make them a very important player in this field.

…I think in terms of technology, the strength of HCL Comnet lies in providing excellent services, Comnet has an extremely good network we just need to make sure to keep that going!”
   
Prof. M. N. Faruqui, Chair-Professor, IIT Foundation(USA)
“All said and done, I think our campus-networking project implemented by HCL Comnet was one of the fastest implementation of a project of this size. We had everything in place in a span of merely 10 months!”
   
Prof. Koshy Zachariah, Exec. Director Finance, MRF Limited
“We were decided on finding one single point of contact. That is one prime reason why we chose HCL Comnet, as it fitted the bill very well. Secondly, the fact that HCL Comnet is an established networking company also helped, as we didn’t want to work with a company, which ALSO does networking!

...They are the best suitable partners for us”.
   
S.D. Palkar, General Manager IT, Colour-Chem Ltd.
Comnet's workforce has the best skill sets; they are a single window solution provider for all network related issues. One thing particularly good about Comnet has been that throughout the changing phases of technology they have kept themselves abreast with the latest trends. They have gone all out and invested in emerging areas without worrying about the dent on revenues, only because they are singularly focused on providing the best to their customers.
   
C.N. Ram, Head IT, HDFC Bank
I think what has been admirable is the fact that they brought in a lot of knowledge about technology, about the way business can benefit from various new technologies, I think these two services (web monitoring and SmartManage) implemented by Comnet had their share of initial problems, but people at Comnet stuck to the task and made sure whatever tweaking had to be done, got done. So all said and done, I think they are a very competent and competitive team.
   
S. Thiagaraja Manikandan, Head IT, Bax Global India Ltd.
…HCL Comnet with its huge spread, seemed to be the perfect option, Secondly, when we looked around to find a partner for NOC services, we found that HCL had one of the best NOC set-ups. Recently a couple of other players have come into the market, but HCL still has the best infrastructure.

M.U. Deshpande, Prof. KReSIT, IIT Mumbai
IIT providing education and comnet providing technology,I think their can no better proposition,Its simply a win-win situation for all!
   
S S Sharma, GM-IT, JK Industries
“Undoubtedly HCL Comnet has a very favourable reputation in the market as far as the value-added services are concerned.

Our reasons for partnering with HCL Comnet:
  • it’s a very trusted name in the Industry.
  • infrastructure and scale of services
  • excellent relationship
Pratap S Gharge, Head- IT, Bajaj Electricals Ltd.

HCL Comnet has been a very, very good partner.

We evaluated 4 vendors to carry out our network-building exercise. The decision turned into Comnet’s favour as it showed capability to implement a hybrid network with a mix of Leased Lines and Vsats. In addition we also saw that Comnet had the capability of liasoning with DoT and VSNL to ensure last mile connectivity.

I think the remote management services that are available from HCL Comnet’s OMC are fairly unique.

 
Dhiren Savla, CTO, Investsmart

HCL Comnet emerged as a frontrunner for two reasons – one because of their extensive experience of the NSE network which ensured that their people were very well versed with running a real-time trading application; secondly they also proved their mettle when it came to testing our internal applications which they were the only vendor to carry out successfully.

Technical support has been very good. Considering the criticality of our applications they have actively participated and immediately attended to any problems that have arisen.

   
V. K. Khanna, GM - IT, UBI.

We knew that HCL Comnet had done a major project for SBI, so that was a good refernce point; secondly HCL Comnet is also one of the major Vsat players in the country

We are very satisfied with Comnet’s technical support.

   
Achal Kaushal, AGM - Special Projects, Bennett & Coleman India
HCL Comnet’s NOC is simply world class!

At the end of the day it was a combination of people, technology and price that tilted the scale in Comnet’s favour.

When I was front-ending this area whenever we had a problem, the response was fantastic… glitches happen but the attitude displayed by the team to get together and committedly handle that was very admirable.
   
S. R. balasubramanian, Sr VP – IT, HDFC Bank
The high points of HCL Comnet have been the technical expertise of its people… I’ll rate HCL Comnet as very, very good!

When we wanted to know the bandwidth utilization trends of our network we contacted HCL Comnet for their monitoring device SmartManage…it has really given us a holistic picture of bandwidth utilization per application, which has proved to be quite useful.
