We performed a comparison between Arista Campus LAN Switches and Cisco Catalyst Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two LAN Switching solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The feature sets are pretty cool. They've got almost everything that the competition offers."
"QoS is the most valuable feature because our clients work with VOIP and Critical applications."
"The CloudVision Portal allows us to centrally manage all of our Arista products."
"Overall top of the line solution."
"It works well."
"Catalyst switches are highly stable and easy to use. It's a technology well known by most engineers."
"I like everything about Cisco Catalyst Switches. It's both stable and scalable."
"The most valuable features are performance, speed, and durability."
"The solution highly scalable."
"Cisco Catalyst Switches are the best overall."
"Catalyst Switches are reliable. We don't have major problems like lost connections, and we only have a minor issue with something every few months. In the last five years, a switch broke down once, and that was due to human error."
"I would like to see a version available with eight or sixteen ports."
"One of the issues that we have been faced with here in Brazil is that we don't have any list times for delivery."
"It would be ideal if the solution was less expensive."
"The delivery dates need to be more expedient."
"If we have a major problem, fixing it takes two or three days and six to eight engineers from Cisco. When they escalate a ticket, it goes through too many levels. Every time the issue is passed along to a new person at Cisco support, they ask the same questions repeatedly."
"The product could offer more integrations with other solutions."
"The only improvement I would like to see with Cisco Catalyst Switches is the pricing."
"I use the Cisco Catalyst Switches command-line interface(CLI) a lot out in the field, but there are some web interfaces features that are available that I haven't used very much. I'm more comfortable with the CLI, but the web interfaces are very lacking."
"We have configurations for port channels between two facilities, and we cannot communicate between these two buildings. An SFP configuration uses one wire to send and receive the signal. It's opt-in. We cannot use it after the upgrade. What can we do in this situation? We already bought it."
"If they worked on lowering the price, they would be able to attract more customers."
"All other modules have comparatively many more functions or power than regular Catalyst switches."
