We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and HPE 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."It's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"The most valuable feature is the Linux shell, which is useful for troubleshooting or capturing traffic."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"We find the CloudVision switching feature of this solution really useful."
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"The configuration capabilities were good."
"The solution can scale."
"We get a lifetime warranty for the solution so whenever the switches get faulty, you can get a replacement."
"The speed is very fast."
"The main features of the solution I have found to be the interface and unique features other solutions do not have. Additionally, they have a lifetime warranty on the hardware."
"I'm a power user, so reliability is crucial. The HPE equipment hasn't failed on me, unlike some other brands like Huawei, which I find more sensitive."
"We use HPE Ethernet Switches to provide solutions for the hotel, their guests, and IPTV."
"The solution is very stable and easy to use."
"The best feature of this solution is the lifetime warranty."
"An area for improvement in Arista Networks Platform is its integration, e.g. it needs to have more integration with its new products. Incorporating more security and cloud is also another area for improvement in the platform."
"Its price can be better."
"My company does face issues in terms of interoperability when it comes to the product, making it an area that needs to be fixed."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"A smoother transition between ISPs during failover would improve the user experience by reducing unnecessary notifications and interruptions."
"Arista Networks Platform should focus on improving the compatibility or integration with Cisco solutions."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved as part of the next upgrade."
"The solution lacks certain protocols and has a limited warranty."
"I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass.""
"The only improvement I can think of is that it could be better with less updates."
"It's gone up in price in the last 12 months."
"Configuration can be complex."
"The solution is very comparable to Huawei, however, it could be more scalable. Huawei is easier to scale."
"They should have more control tools for controlling the bandwidth."
"When we have a lot of clients on the system, we lose signal and have to restart our antenna."
