"Arista Networks Platform offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"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 product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"They support open standard features."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is its network monitoring system."
"The velocity of the process is the most valuable feature."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches are very stable."
"This product is competitive technically with the best products in the class."
"The required functionalities align with telecom requirements and have improved from a capacity perspective."
"They last quite a while."
"What we like the most is that the price is reasonable and it's easy to manage."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"The solution needs to improve their product range."
"The CVP management platform needs to be improved."
"A smoother transition between ISPs during failover would improve the user experience by reducing unnecessary notifications and interruptions."
"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 accommodate new features."
"The overall price of the Arista Networks Platform is expensive. It should be reduced."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"The solution's marketing could be better. It spends money on marketing but doesn't highlight the most important features. Sometimes, it provides too much information, which can confuse customers."
"I had issues with patching the IOS. But right now I think Huawei has improved very much in the advanced technology and is more stable now. I think patch and bug fixes should be announced on a scheduled basis."
"I would like to see more training opportunities available."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches are scalable but can be improved."
"The solution needs to provide GUI commands."
"The tool is not very robust in harsh environments. Issues with cooling and power can cause these switches to fail, which concerns customers. They work well in data centers but might be problematic in places without cooling or heat."
"It is not easy to use if you need to monitor, patch or update. It needs to be configured by a network specialist because it doesn't have an overall central monitoring tool or anything like that. I'd say no ease of use."
"The product should improve cloud capability."
