Find out in this report how the two LAN Switching solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The feature sets are pretty cool. They've got almost everything that the competition offers."
"QoS is the most valuable feature because our clients work with VOIP and Critical applications."
"The CloudVision Portal allows us to centrally manage all of our Arista products."
"The most valuable feature of the 7700 series is probably the multi-context subset VRS, which lets you use multi-VRS, multi-context, and also VPC setup, where you have two logical devices that are still separate in terms of management planes, but have shared, virtual core channels."
"Cisco Nexus is a stable solution."
"This solution streamlines how we have to configure things because we can do everything from one device, whereas if we had individual devices we would have to go to each one and configure them manually."
"The setup is straightforward. I'd like to see the firmware and code upgradability to be slightly more intuitive."
"The integrations are valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is network visibility. It becomes the core switch. All of the devices connected route towards it."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its ease of use."
"A very solid and reliable solution."
"One of the issues that we have been faced with here in Brazil is that we don't have any list times for delivery."
"It would be ideal if the solution was less expensive."
"I would like to see a version available with eight or sixteen ports."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing. The solution is expensive. Compared to other vendors, it's costly for similar products."
"One of the problems we have is that there is no confirmation for when you try to test a system command."
"The flexibility and configuration could be better."
"Cisco Nexus is just a platform. You just set it up, give it an IP, and then start configuring it. But there are a million features to configure."
"It would be great if they could make the interface a little more user-friendly, but not trade power off for simplicity."
"The product could be updated more frequently for other phone model support."
"There are limitations on some of the lower level 9K solutions where you can't do the same things that you would normally be able to do, like for instance the number of static maps that you can configure on it."
"Nexus is a costly solution."
