We performed a comparison between Arista Campus LAN Switches and Cisco Nexus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."
"The CloudVision Portal allows us to centrally manage all of our Arista products."
"QoS is the most valuable feature because our clients work with VOIP and Critical applications."
"The integrations are valuable."
"The scalability of the solution is well beyond anything I would ever need."
"It gives me an unparalleled ability to build out my environment differently than I would have if I was going with another vendor."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"This solution has allowed us to better prepare our network for 10-gigabit."
"The setup is straightforward. I'd like to see the firmware and code upgradability to be slightly more intuitive."
"The implementation was straightforward and the product is stable."
"Nexus provides inner redundancy. It allows us to perform updates on individual switches, while still maintaining reliability and uptime on the server."
"One of the issues that we have been faced with here in Brazil is that we don't have any list times for delivery."
"It would be ideal if the solution was less expensive."
"I would like to see a version available with eight or sixteen ports."
"I would like to see Duo directly integrated with the Nexus hardware, instead of it being through the proxies, like how Duo works today."
"Enhancing the software-defined level of this solution would empower it."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The solution is expensive. Compared to other vendors, it's costly for similar products."
"One of the biggest challenges, which I see is that there's a constant evolution in the product. For example, our configuration is based on what is known as traditional data center implementation. Today there is the ACI deployment and to implement, to migrate from one technology to another, that's challenging both from a configuration perspective and also from a cost perspective."
"Some of the DHCP features need improvement."
"I would like to see a central management solution in order to have all of the equipment in one place."
"I would like to see better monitoring actions supported in the next release of this solution."
"The GUI interface could be improved to make it more user friendly."
