We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and Huawei 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 feature is the Linux shell, which is useful for troubleshooting or capturing traffic."
"Arista Networks Platform has a feature that helps with monitoring and management."
"The solution is scalable."
"What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"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."
"Arista Networks Platform offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"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 CLI syntax."
"They last quite a while."
"They have the ability, since they have a very big R&D team, to create an upgrade for any feature or patch very easily."
"The technical documentation available is very good. The technical support for the customer is also good - I would give it 8 out of 10."
"The Huawei switches are stable, easy to set up, and cheap."
"The HTTP features for security are very good. We use all of the regular features."
"The velocity of the process is the most valuable feature."
"It integrates well."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"The overall price of the Arista Networks Platform is expensive. It should be reduced."
"The community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The solution needs to accommodate new features."
"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."
"The configuration could be improved and deployment should be easier."
"The GUI could be improved. It could be much more adaptable."
"The product's stability has certain shortcomings, making it an area where improvements are required."
"In the next release, I would like to see an increase in the performance of DDoS protection systems against all kinds of attack packets."
"I would like to see more training opportunities available."
"It is not easy to use if you need to monitor, patch or update. It needs to be configured by a network specialist because it doesn't have an overall central monitoring tool or anything like that. I'd say no ease of use."
"The technical support is a bit difficult to work with if you don't speak Mandarin."
"There are some support issues."
