"The most valuable aspect of Arista Networks products is their ease of configuration, especially when compared to Cisco products. When we implement advanced features for data centers such as BGP EVPN and VXLAN, Arista's configuration process is similar to that of Cisco's process, but at the same time it is simply much easier, clearer, and more understandable."
"Arista Networks Platform is comfortable, easy to deploy, and easy to manage, with non-blocking technology. Additionally, it has a useful CloudVision platform and automation capabilities."
"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."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"It's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"They support open standard features."
"What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"Juniper QFX Series Switches provide a good platform for all of our hardware and are easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the VxLAN and the EVPN."
"The QFX series is a good choice for large data centers, particularly for Spine-Leaf architectures."
"EVPN-VXLAN feature offers the most benefits."
"It's a stable solution."
"It's really easy to replicate rules. It's the one that I've used; it was CLI-based. You can implement a large set of rules with CLI. You can just copy a script and add additional changes to the source and destination on the part. And so it's easy to do large zone-based rules."
"A smoother transition between ISPs during failover would improve the user experience by reducing unnecessary notifications and interruptions."
"My company does face issues in terms of interoperability when it comes to the product, making it an area that needs to be fixed."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."

"There have been some issues sometimes. When you upgrade the device, it doesn't come up. It gets stuck."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing model. It is too high."
