Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."The solution is very stable."
"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 offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"The most valuable feature is the Linux shell, which is useful for troubleshooting or capturing traffic."
"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's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"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 good thing about the StrataDNX is that the Broadcom family is very interchangeable, so they work well with different optical transceivers."
"Easy to integrate with any of the other hardware platforms."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"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."
"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 product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"The overall price of the Arista Networks Platform is expensive. It should be reduced."
"The solution needs to accommodate new features."
"The solution is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"My company does face issues in terms of interoperability when it comes to the product, making it an area that needs to be fixed."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model."
"The number of surfaces that can be handled by the chipset could be increased."
