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."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."
"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 features of the Arista Networks Platform are the EVPN and VXLAN. It has comprehensive features."
"They support open standard features."
"The configuration capabilities were good."
"What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"When you buy a switch from Huawei, the switches come along with a lot of features that you do not need to pay extra money for."
"It is easy to understand all the features of Huawei Switches."
"Huawei Ethernet switches are easy to use and can be managed using either the GUI or via the command-line."
"In terms of the most valuable features, LAN switching is more comfortable and valuable in the network. It is easy to configure and easy to deploy. It is helpful for the installation and it is easy to troubleshoot issues. It's an easy product to understand. It's a good solution."
"The velocity of the process is the most valuable feature."
"Huawei switches come in small, medium, and large capacities and can be used for monitoring and switching."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its network monitoring system."
"The Huawei switches are stable, easy to set up, and cheap."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved as part of the next upgrade."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"Its price can be better."
"The CVP management platform needs to be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"The solution is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"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."
"Arista Networks Platform should focus on improving the compatibility or integration with Cisco solutions."
"We would like to see additional backup solutions, since we have several degrees of backup."
"The durability of the device can be improved."
"The solution needs to provide GUI commands."
"The company needs to provide more on hand training on the product."
"The configuration is very difficult even for someone who is already familiar with the configuration process."
"The solution should make the text report more accessible."
"The solution can improve by adding virtualized switch functionality."
"I would like to see some improvements in the access layer switch that is available in Aruba."
