We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and Cisco Linksys Ethernet 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."Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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."
"Arista Networks Platform has a feature that helps with monitoring and management."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"Arista Networks Platform offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"The configuration capabilities were good."
"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 installation is straightforward. We did not face any problems."
"The stability of the program is excellent."
"The solution is very flexible."
"What matters most to me is the security of the product, and Cisco does a pretty good job."
"They have so many series that can cater to SMBs, banks, or telcos. They have a wide range of options."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches have a good interface, and the documentation is detailed."
"The installation process is straightforward."
"Their speed and their ability to handle the network well are the most significant aspects of the product."
"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."
"Its price can be better."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"A smoother transition between ISPs during failover would improve the user experience by reducing unnecessary notifications and interruptions."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The drawbacks come from support. The tools are rare, but to find someone knowledgeable with Cisco, is a problem."
"Some experts say that the price may be lower or that the ethernet switches are complex to set up and manage, maybe because of limited port density, supports, and quality of service, like capabilities."
"The installation could be simplified."
"They just need to simplify the learning curve."
"Cisco Linksys could be more secure. It could also add a controller to control all the devices, like the access points and so on."
"Its scalability can be better. It is not suitable for enterprises. It is for small and medium businesses. It also needs system improvements. It needs new technology to improve the system."
"It would be ideal if, for private users that are not companies, the solution could be made even cheaper."
"Endpoints need to be improved."
