We performed a comparison between Arista Campus LAN Switches and Cisco Nexus based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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 feature sets are pretty cool. They've got almost everything that the competition offers."
"From a data center implementation, with respect to competition from your data, there isn't really a product recovery for the different tests other than Cisco Nexus. For example, if you take Multi-tenancy for the data center, it's something which, I think, only Cisco has. There are some implementation from HP, but I think it's limited there."
"The integrations are valuable."
"The most valuable features of this solution are scalability and throughput."
"Cisco Nexus has good overall reliability and configuration options. It is fairly straightforward to access the switching platforms."
"The setup was very easy, but managing it in operations was very complex."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its stability."
"This is a powerful device and I can get good bandwidth."
"The solution has introduced VPC, Virtual Port Channel, which allows for more redundancy and flexibility."
"I would like to see a version available with eight or sixteen ports."
"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."
"My only complaint is that not all of the ports on it are enabled from the start."
"The initial setup of the Cisco Nexus platform takes a long time. It's a complex system because we have a lot of security layers."
"There is always room for improvement."
"I would like to see some development into the SAE world where you can virtualize. That would be the only thing I would like to see because I need to start virtualizing my infrastructure gear at some of the other data centers that I have."
"It would be nice if the solution offered multiple types of port support."
"One of our switches died last week and we were able to RMA it. Within four hours it arrived on time and worked."
"There are too many different model numbers and too much complexity."
"The solution has room for improvement in terms of the learning curve."
