Clients experience effective network management and comprehensive monitoring

Arista currently provides their solution for their own Arista products only. A problem occurs because customers do not have only Arista products. Sometimes they have different kinds of products available in their network. For monitoring that network, they have to either procure more solutions from third parties or they have to procure the provider OEM to manage their switches. If Arista can integrate third-party switches for monitoring purposes, it will be beneficial for the customers. Arista and other competitors such as Cisco or HPE Aruba have their own benefits. Cisco and Aruba face the challenge of having multiple OS for networking their products, whereas Arista has a single OS across their products. This is very beneficial for customers as they only have to manage a single OS.

Provides deep packet visibility for tracing failed transactions and helps improve enterprise-level monitoring

Many improvements are needed for Riverbed NPM+, particularly in NetIM, which does not perform as well as SolarWinds' single module NPM solution. Additionally, within Riverbed Portal, there is an Application Map module that could be improved. It can show the application's architecture and connectivity to the network. The applications map feature needs enhancements for better customization since currently, it is quite limited. The enhancements I recommend are not for the entire Riverbed product suite, but specifically for the application map feature within the Portal of Riverbed NPM+. This Portal is one of the dashboard modules and while there is potential for improvement, it must be enhanced significantly to provide better functionality. Currently, you cannot trace by transaction number alone; knowing the source and destination IP is necessary. For instance, if I transfer money and a transaction fails, tracing that transaction ID is not captured in AppResponse. I have raised this concern, and if this feature is implemented, it would greatly benefit banking customers, especially because it is not available with their competitors either.
