Provides telemetry and visibility for many metrics
Pros and Cons
  • "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 community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."

What is our primary use case?

We use it more like a complete network operations center.

What is most valuable?

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.

CloudVision is the central management, and all the features installed are from the same vendor. I like that telemetry and metrics are available. Also, the provisioning feature and all these features are from the same vendor.

What needs improvement?

The cost of Arista Networks Platform is high; it is more expensive than other networking solutions.

Also, the community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more.

Maybe, if they had out-of-the-box NetFlow features to integrate with third party solutions, it will be good.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been working with it for about 10 months now as a system integrator.

We sell physical appliances to our customers for their on-premises deployment.
