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 product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"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."
"Arista Networks Platform is comfortable, easy to deploy, and easy to manage, with non-blocking technology. Additionally, it has a useful CloudVision platform and automation capabilities."
"The most valuable features of the Arista Networks Platform are the EVPN and VXLAN. It has comprehensive features."
"Arista Networks Platform offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The configuration capabilities were good."
"They support open standard features."
"The two most valuable features are the remote access user and the side-to-side connection."
"The user interface makes it simple to configure and manage."
"Managing the switches, such as the main server router, is straightforward. If you use UniFi, it’s easy because everything is integrated into the product. You can discover and manage any connected device with just one piece of equipment, like the UniFi controller. This applies to both the wireless LAN and the wired LAN. UniFi products are simple to manage and help maintain a good network profile."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is a stable solution."
"I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"For the world where you have to balance traffic and traffic loads and bandwidth, their GUI makes it really easy because the switches, though they are enterprise grade level two or level three switches, the GUI is designed so that it's easy to set up VLANs where you need to control your traffic so that your phones don't break up and get choppy because of other people loading the network down too heavily."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"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."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"The solution needs to accommodate new features."
"The CVP management platform needs to be improved."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"My company does face issues in terms of interoperability when it comes to the product, making it an area that needs to be fixed."
"Its price can be better."
"UniFi lacks the granularity."
"The price could be lower."
"We need to upgrade everything too often."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"Functionalities can change quite quickly without notice."
"One area for improvement would be having a web interface directly on the device itself. That's the one thing that makes them more difficult for less experienced technicians to configure."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
