We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and Ubiquiti UniFi 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."They support open standard features."
"The most valuable feature is the Linux shell, which is useful for troubleshooting or capturing traffic."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"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 solution is very stable."
"The solution is scalable."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"Arista Networks Platform has a feature that helps with monitoring and management."
"The central management is provided by the UniFi management system. You can manage everything from a single interface. The SDN mode that the entire unified system uses is a software-defined network format."
"It's been working fine, it's been stable, and there are no interruptions."
"The solution is very reliable and stable."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is that once you buy them, you own them."
"We have integrated the tool for PoE switches and non-PoE switches. Its most valuable feature is SD-WAN. UniFi SD-WAN can access all statistics and performance data in one interface, enabling us to support clients across different locations remotely. Additionally, we can even restart devices remotely through the UniFi SD-WAN."
"It is great size-wise and the user interface is easy to use. You don't need to be a pro to use this solution."
"It is a high-quality product, and it won't let you down."
"The GUI interface is very easy to use and the Linux-based command-line interface is also good."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"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 product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"Something that you will often hear about Arista products is that the price is a bit too high and, like with Cisco, we sometimes have problems with our customers because of its pricing."
"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 is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"Its price can be better."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"The documentation for command lines needs to be improved."
"It would be beneficial for us if Ubiquiti had a team of advanced data transportation specialists that we could get feedback from. We are not experts in data transportation, so having this sort of resource would be helpful for us."
"One of the downsides of the solution stems from the limited warranty that it offers to users."
"I had some initial problems with the configuration that necessitated contacting technical support."
"The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills."
"The price could be lower."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
