We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and Aruba 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."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is very stable. It has good hardware and very stable code. It provides good value for its price. They are a very lean type of organization, so they are very responsive, and they're able to focus more on their platform versus having multiple products out there."
"We find the CloudVision switching feature of this solution really useful."
"The solution is very stable."
"It's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"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."
"I like the spine as a leaf model and low latency. The hardware is robust and meets expected latency in all environments, mainly if you belong to the media or trading industry. For multicast-based solutions, Arista is number one."
"What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"The solution's stability is really great. We found it very solid."
"The solution is scalable."
"We didn't experience any stability or scalability issues until now with Aruba Switches"
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is security."
"The most valuable feature is the switches are reliable and replaced for free if anything goes wrong."
"The most valuable features are the stability and compatibility with other products."
"They provide great service in terms of replacing malfunctioning switches."
"We like that it is very easy to manage the product through the cloud."
"My company does face issues in terms of interoperability when it comes to the product, making it an area that needs to be fixed."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"The CVP management platform needs to be improved."
"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 community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"Its price can be better."
"I would like to see a lower price on the device."
"There is an issue with Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), but it is escaping me. We aren't using this feature yet, but it is something we are considering."
"Aruba Switches cover lots of areas and support automated and IOPS and with the central products, but I think when we look at the solutions overall, IOPS devices are not covered so much in Aruba Central. We are in Croatia and it is a small country, I don't know how its situation is in Europe, America, or Asia."
"It takes a long time to import Aruba switches to Ecuador."
"I would like to see something like a Cisco Prime, an application controlling the entire system, switches, and access points."
"There is room for improvement in the customer service and support team."
"The product could be a little more competitive price-wise."
"The delivery time for this product is slow and is something that needs to be improved."
