We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The CloudVision Portal allows us to centrally manage all of our Arista products.""QoS is the most valuable feature because our clients work with VOIP and Critical applications.""The feature sets are pretty cool. They've got almost everything that the competition offers."

"The vendor maintains the product well.""The most valuable features of this solution are the fabric backplane having upwards of 160 GB of communication. It is a top-of-the-rack solution where you have your directors sitting in the main area and then you have your nodes expanded out to your multiple cabinets. It has a very good design and could be your server backbone.""QFabric supports redundancy and includes all of the enterprise and service provider features that customers would want in data center or service provider network.""Juniper QFabric has various advantages including scalability, simplicity, performance, and flexibility.""It's user-friendly.""The solution is easy to use and has good performance.""The 40 gig backbone InterConneX was valuable for our use case. It is even faster now. QFabric has spine-leaf technology or topology, which basically makes every single hop only one hop away in terms of connecting from one device to another. It is a pretty good and robust solution. It works pretty well in terms of scalability, and their technical support is amazing.""The solution is stable."

Cons
"I would like to see a version available with eight or sixteen ports.""It would be ideal if the solution was less expensive.""One of the issues that we have been faced with here in Brazil is that we don't have any list times for delivery."

More Arista Campus LAN Switches Cons →

"It would be nice if Juniper provided the system integrator with training, similar to that of Cisco.""It works too much on rebooting and there is some memory leakage.""The disruptive upgrade was an issue for us.""The stability needs to be improved.""The pricing structure could be more budget-friendly.""They are working on the virtualization of the actual fabric layer. They are moving away from the original spine-leaf design to a different infrastructure. Instead of having three tiers, which was the director of the interconnected nodes, they cut them back, and they still have that kind of structure.""Having support for all OpenFlow versions would be beneficial.""I do not use GUI's very much for switch stacks. I am always in the CLI. However, I do know that Juniper in the past has lacked on their GUI's, but they have been working on it."
