We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and Ubiquiti UniFi 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."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."
"We find the CloudVision switching feature of this solution really useful."
"They support open standard features."
"Arista Networks Platform has a feature that helps with monitoring and management."
"It's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is scalable."
"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."
"The ability to deploy quickly and then having one central location for all the settings are its most valuable aspects."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"The ability to manage firmware revisions."
"The value here with using the Ubiquiti products across the board is that they're almost all single-pane management and the single-pane management is included. It's a huge benefit."
"I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"This product is very reasonably priced."
"For the world where you have to balance traffic and traffic loads and bandwidth, their GUI makes it really easy because the switches, though they are enterprise grade level two or level three switches, the GUI is designed so that it's easy to set up VLANs where you need to control your traffic so that your phones don't break up and get choppy because of other people loading the network down too heavily."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"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 stability of this solution needs to be improved as part of the next upgrade."
"The community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The solution is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"It would be helpful to have better visibility into exactly what is going on in the network."
"It would be beneficial for us if Ubiquiti had a team of advanced data transportation specialists that we could get feedback from. We are not experts in data transportation, so having this sort of resource would be helpful for us."
"I think they need to provide a better firewall solution."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches can improve by putting more effort into security. There are not many options in security. Other solutions, you can filter, do access control, and functionality. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches provides all the basic network security where it's all about the password for someone to access the SSID on the network, but it doesn't go beyond advanced network features of packet filtering, monitoring, and managing users."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
"One of the downsides of the solution stems from the limited warranty that it offers to users."
"The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills."
