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."I like the spine as a leaf model and low latency. The hardware is robust and meets expected latency in all environments, mainly if you belong to the media or trading industry. For multicast-based solutions, Arista is number one."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"The solution is very stable."
"We find the CloudVision switching feature of this solution really useful."
"The configuration capabilities were good."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It's a well-rounded solution for routing."
"The most valuable feature is that it has better throughput than its competitors."
"The performance has been good."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"The CVP management platform needs to be improved."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"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 stability of this solution needs to be improved as part of the next upgrade."
"The overall price of the Arista Networks Platform is expensive. It should be reduced."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The solution is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"It happens that you may find your network is down, if you reboot the switch, they come up. However, sometimes, they reset themselves. That's a big issue."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
"It would be even better with a centralized management platform."
"The initial setup is complex."
"There has to be more development in the OS. It's complex for this switch as compared to others like Cisco. For NetGear and Cisco, it's easy to adapt the VLAN concept but it should be simplified for MikroTik."
"Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
