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."It's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable aspect of Arista Networks products is their ease of configuration, especially when compared to Cisco products. When we implement advanced features for data centers such as BGP EVPN and VXLAN, Arista's configuration process is similar to that of Cisco's process, but at the same time it is simply much easier, clearer, and more understandable."
"The most valuable feature is the Linux shell, which is useful for troubleshooting or capturing traffic."
"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."
"We find the CloudVision switching feature of this solution really useful."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The most valuable features of the Arista Networks Platform are the EVPN and VXLAN. It has comprehensive features."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"The pricing of the solution is very good. It works well within our network."
"It's stable and we never have to worry about it."
"Administration can be done using the web-based interface."
"The stability of the program is excellent."
"The installation is easy."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are stable since no issues have been reported."
"They need to enhance their code and their EOS. They need to improve some security features, and there are quite a number of bugs in their system. So, they need to work on that piece. In the next release, we need to have a modular feature. Instead of providing an integrated solution, they should go for something modular. They need to come up with modular highly scalable models. Even at the chassis layer, I want to see some improvement."
"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."
"The solution needs to accommodate new features."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"The CVP management platform needs to be improved."
"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 solution’s pricing could be better."
"We encounter a challenge in automating the product to reduce manual work."
"Cisco Linksys could be more secure. It could also add a controller to control all the devices, like the access points and so on."
"The solution is costly."
"This product does not scale to environments where there is a lot of network traffic."
"It would be ideal if, for private users that are not companies, the solution could be made even cheaper."
"It would be nice if they can provide support for local authentication protocol, which is a security feature. It is not supported right now. They already support security features, so adding some local authentication features would be very nice. Currently, they only support external databases for the stuff for the authentication feature. If they could improve the existing feature or add a feature to support local databases, local username, password authentication, I think it would be very amazing."
"On a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst and ten being the best, I rate the tool's scalability as seven since there are some limitations."
"Their performance should be improved."
