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."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."
"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."
"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 solution is very stable."
"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."
"Arista Networks Platform has a feature that helps with monitoring and management."
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the interface and configuration. It's very easy to use."
"HPE Ethernet Switches are scalable, and their software is also quite sturdy."
"The solution is highly stable."
"The HPE Ethernet switches have very low latency."
"The speed is very fast."
"You can scale the product as needed."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"It's fairly lightweight, they don't require a lot of maintenance."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"The solution needs to improve their product range."
"The solution needs to accommodate new features."
"Its price can be better."
"The community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"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."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"The VLAN tagging could be improved,"
"The pricing is expensive."
"HPE Ethernet Switches must ensure that the updates and patching are done regularly. When we have new software updates, we can resolve issues quickly."
"The solution lacks certain protocols and has a limited warranty."
"The product could always use better technical support."
"The ability to stack, as well as a unified operating system, would be extremely beneficial."
"The solution could be more stable."
"There is a limitation of capability."
