We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of the Arista Networks Platform are the EVPN and VXLAN. It has comprehensive features."
"They support open standard features."
"It provides telemetry and visibility for many metrics that are not supported by most of the other vendors. Out of the box, no third party solutions are needed."
"Arista Networks Platform offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"I like the spine as a leaf model and low latency. The hardware is robust and meets expected latency in all environments, mainly if you belong to the media or trading industry. For multicast-based solutions, Arista is number one."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"The best part is the single operating system that they have. Regardless of your model, it's the same operating system functioning across the board, which means you don't have to worry about backward compatibilities between your older switches and the new ones that you deploy."
"The pricing of the solution is very good. It works well within our network."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are pretty good overall."
"Their speed and their ability to handle the network well are the most significant aspects of the product."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution is very flexible."
"Integration is much easier than with competitor products because it allows for segmentation inside the network."
"Ease-of-use and ease-of-management are good qualities of this product."
"It is very stable. Performance is very good."
"Arista Networks Platform should focus on improving the compatibility or integration with Cisco solutions."
"Something that you will often hear about Arista products is that the price is a bit too high and, like with Cisco, we sometimes have problems with our customers because of its pricing."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"The solution is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"Its price can be better."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"The documentation should be improved from Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches. Although it hints or refers to being able to do certain operations, they try to get you to load the software instead. They need to be more open with their documentation on using the web interface and give the client the option to use the software or not. This improvement is not on the switch itself, it is in the packaging."
"The additional features which I would like to suggest is to implement user friendly GUI for easier network management."
"We'd prefer if the product, in general, was easier to use. It can be a bit difficult."
"Make them tougher and more ruggedized for warmer and Industrial types of environments, and HumiSeal the main boards and internal components."
"They could work on the pricing and make it more affordable for everyone."
"The product must be made cloud-based."
"The problem with installation is not the installation process, but the building. Sometimes our building has a high ceiling, so installation is hard."
"The product’s price is a bit high."
