We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and HPE 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."The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"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."
"It's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"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."
"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."
"They support open standard features."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"I value that there is a clear place to find a MAC table with HPE Ethernet Switches."
"We found the installation process to be simple."
"Stable and scalable."
"The most valuable product is the unmanaged HP switch."
"The scalability is very good."
"The main features of the solution I have found to be the interface and unique features other solutions do not have. Additionally, they have a lifetime warranty on the hardware."
"I have found the most valuable feature is stability."
"We were able to onboard HPE Ethernet Switches easily to the cloud. It was fast and took only five minutes to complete."
"The solution needs to improve their product range."
"Arista Networks Platform should focus on improving the compatibility or integration with Cisco solutions."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"My company does face issues in terms of interoperability when it comes to the product, making it an area that needs to be fixed."
"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."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"Its price can be better."
"A lower price would be an improvement because we always want to reduce our costs."
"We have some problems with the performance of our HPE Ethernet Switches because they are old."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The pricing could be better."
"I would like to see the initial setup become easier."
"There is a limitation of capability."
"The scalability is limited."
