We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The solution is scalable."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"The most valuable features of the Arista Networks Platform are the EVPN and VXLAN. It has comprehensive features."
"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 offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"It provides telemetry and visibility for many metrics that are not supported by most of the other vendors. Out of the box, no third party solutions are needed."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"Integration is much easier than with competitor products because it allows for segmentation inside the network."
"The installation process is straightforward."
"The most important feature related to this solution is that most of the time, it covers all of what we need for our projects."
"What matters most to me is the security of the product, and Cisco does a pretty good job."
"Linksys switches help us manage connected equipment because we can see the historical data on all devices connected to this switch."
"Cisco products are always stable."
"I would recommend Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches to other organizations."
"In a previous use case, we deployed Linksys Switches for blocking unwanted signals within a premises with the help of their clean air technology. This was one of the notable advantages of Linksys Switches over Cisco."
"The solution is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"The community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"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 intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"A smoother transition between ISPs during failover would improve the user experience by reducing unnecessary notifications and interruptions."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The solution is a bit pricey."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"Scalability-wise, this solution is not designed for small businesses."
"This product does not scale to environments where there is a lot of network traffic."
"We'd prefer if the product, in general, was easier to use. It can be a bit difficult."
"Make them tougher and more ruggedized for warmer and Industrial types of environments, and HumiSeal the main boards and internal components."
"It would be ideal if they could do more configurations and offer more flexibility. Right now, it's not flexible at all."
"The solution's support can use improvement because they are not very good at following up."
"The solution is costly."
"Cisco Linksys could be more secure. It could also add a controller to control all the devices, like the access points and so on."
