"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."
"The overall price of the Arista Networks Platform is expensive. It should be reduced."
"My company does face issues in terms of interoperability when it comes to the product, making it an area that needs to be fixed."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"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."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved as part of the next upgrade."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"We had issues with the stability, issues with the pricing, and the total cost of ownership."

"There is not much training available for this solution."
"Management from a single dashboard is what I want to see from Meraki MS Switches."
"Sometimes the controller in the cloud that controls the access points does not have the most accurate information. There is sometimes a glitch in keeping the management controller that is in the cloud up to date."
"It can have better security. It needs more security enhancements, and in particular, a zero-trust element. If we could have external and internal users vetted in the same way as a zero-trust network, that will be handy."
"There should be a focus on the emerging markets to offer better pricing. In India, they are offering it at better pricing for the emerging markets."
