Find out in this report how the two LAN Switching solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The feature sets are pretty cool. They've got almost everything that the competition offers."
"QoS is the most valuable feature because our clients work with VOIP and Critical applications."
"The CloudVision Portal allows us to centrally manage all of our Arista products."
"A very solid and reliable solution."
"It's pretty easy to use and operates at high speed."
"Cisco Nexus and Cisco Catalyst have processing power and offer good utilization of Cisco devices."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and throughput."
"Cisco Nexus meets all of our requirements."
"The solution is stable."
"It's easy to use, and the performance is great."
"This product has improved the way our organization functions in the way that the rack-based design allowed us to eliminate chassis-based designs. The chassis design is more complicated to manage and maintain in field operations."
"I would like to see a version available with eight or sixteen ports."
"It would be ideal if the solution was less expensive."
"One of the issues that we have been faced with here in Brazil is that we don't have any list times for delivery."
"Multi contexts would be nice to have to separate different tenants logically and securely."
"The licensing is very complicated. They should work to simplify it."
"They need to understand that when we call them and have an issue, it's our production and sometimes they want us to do repairs that would cause other issues. That's the biggest problem."
"The only issue that I have with this product is finding help on different commands when I'm trying to make a change."
"I feel that this solution should be more flexible and scalable."
"One of the problems we have is that there is no confirmation for when you try to test a system command."
"I would like to see the integration of the products into something where it's seamless where an engineer never touches the switch again, never does CLI and you move to an application based network organization."
"In the next release of the solution, I would like to see varying integration between VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) instances so we can integrate BGB into different VRFs in a more organized way. We have some issues with tunnels and VRFs."
