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."Arista Networks Platform offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"The most valuable aspect of Arista Networks products is their ease of configuration, especially when compared to Cisco products. When we implement advanced features for data centers such as BGP EVPN and VXLAN, Arista's configuration process is similar to that of Cisco's process, but at the same time it is simply much easier, clearer, and more understandable."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The configuration capabilities were good."
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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 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."
"Manageable features, which we heavily used like web GUI and SNMP."
"Cisco Linksys is scalable. You can use it as an extender, too."
"I use the tool because of its performance, reliability, and security."
"It is very stable. Performance is very good."
"We have found the stability to be excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the dynamic routing."
"For a home or small business, the solution offers a very good web interface."
"My work is able to continue because the switches are reliable."
"An area for improvement in Arista Networks Platform is its integration, e.g. it needs to have more integration with its new products. Incorporating more security and cloud is also another area for improvement in the platform."
"The solution needs to improve their product range."
"They should have a more stable code."
"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."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"My company does face issues in terms of interoperability when it comes to the product, making it an area that needs to be fixed."
"It's an old tool that needs to be more competitive with other solutions that are available on the market such as HP, or Dell."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The solution is costly."
"The pricing for this solution needs to be improved."
"Cisco Linksys could be more secure. It could also add a controller to control all the devices, like the access points and so on."
"Make them tougher and more ruggedized for warmer and Industrial types of environments, and HumiSeal the main boards and internal components."
"It would be ideal if they could do more configurations and offer more flexibility. Right now, it's not flexible at all."
"Integration with other networks is possible, but you have to configure it."
