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 has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"The configuration capabilities were good."
"The most valuable feature is the Linux shell, which is useful for troubleshooting or capturing traffic."
"It's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"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."
"They support open standard features."
"The most valuable aspect of Arista Networks products is their ease of configuration, especially when compared to Cisco products. When we implement advanced features for data centers such as BGP EVPN and VXLAN, Arista's configuration process is similar to that of Cisco's process, but at the same time it is simply much easier, clearer, and more understandable."
"The solution is very stable."
"Manageable features, which we heavily used like web GUI and SNMP."
"They have so many series that can cater to SMBs, banks, or telcos. They have a wide range of options."
"It is very stable. Performance is very good."
"it's a stable solution. We have not experienced any bugs or issues. Many data centers and enterprise data centers prefer Cisco to any other product because they are very stable."
"Linksys Switches are stable."
"For a home or small business, the solution offers a very good web interface."
"Linksys switches help us manage connected equipment because we can see the historical data on all devices connected to this switch."
"Linksys switches are easy to use. You can pull the switch out of the box, plug it in, and it's going to work."
"An area for improvement in Arista Networks Platform is its integration, e.g. it needs to have more integration with its new products. Incorporating more security and cloud is also another area for improvement in the platform."
"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 community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"The overall price of the Arista Networks Platform is expensive. It should be reduced."
"Something that you will often hear about Arista products is that the price is a bit too high and, like with Cisco, we sometimes have problems with our customers because of its pricing."
"The solution needs to improve their product range."
"The CVP management platform needs to be improved."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"We are using an old version of this solution and it could be more stable."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is an expensive solution, and its pricing could be improved."
"In the future, I would like to see more focus on software-defined networking solutions."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches’s stability and pricing needs improvement."
"The solution is costly."
"It would be ideal if they could do more configurations and offer more flexibility. Right now, it's not flexible at all."
"They need to develop better UI. Other products have a nice GUI."
"Linksys switches are expensive but scalable."
