    We have been using Arista Networks Platform for two years.

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    The platform is easy to scale, but since the deployment, there has been no need or requirement to expand the infrastructure. I believe scalability will be easy whenever it's required.

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We have used Cisco and HP as well.

    Both companies provide similar services, but Arista's support services are much better than Cisco's.

    We provided professional service to the vendor and encountered no issues during the installation and deployment. It took less than four months to complete the process. 

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    Network devices are generally expensive. However, during the evaluation, Arista was the most inexpensive vendor.

    I rate Arista Networks Platform a nine out of ten.
