We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and Cisco Linksys 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."What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"The most valuable feature is the Linux shell, which is useful for troubleshooting or capturing traffic."
"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."
"It's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"Arista Networks Platform has a feature that helps with monitoring and management."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the Arista Networks Platform are the EVPN and VXLAN. It has comprehensive features."
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"The most valuable feature is performance."
"The stability of the program is excellent."
"It's scalable. It is cloud-based controlled. We don't need to buy a dedicated controller. It allows me to control all of my access points everywhere in all my companies."
"The solution is very flexible."
"For a home or small business, the solution offers a very good web interface."
"I have found their security features the most valuable. These security features are supported on most of the other features. Similarly, the protocols and the standards are supported on other features, such as the stacking feature, the availability feature, internet channel, link application, and protocols. There are so many features on these features."
"It is a stable and good product."
"They have so many series that can cater to SMBs, banks, or telcos. They have a wide range of options."
"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."
"A smoother transition between ISPs during failover would improve the user experience by reducing unnecessary notifications and interruptions."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"The CVP management platform needs to be improved."
"They should have a more stable code."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"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 solution needs to improve their product range."
"Their price is quite high compared to their competitors."
"Pricing is an area with a shortcoming since the solution is expensive."
"Having the option for a web-based interface would be an improvement over being forced to use the CLI."
"This product does not scale to environments where there is a lot of network traffic."
"The drawbacks come from support. The tools are rare, but to find someone knowledgeable with Cisco, is a problem."
"Another area of improvement is scalability."
"The solution is costly."
"Make them tougher and more ruggedized for warmer and Industrial types of environments, and HumiSeal the main boards and internal components."
