We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and HPE 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."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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"I like the spine as a leaf model and low latency. The hardware is robust and meets expected latency in all environments, mainly if you belong to the media or trading industry. For multicast-based solutions, Arista is number one."
"They support open standard features."
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward."
"We find the CloudVision switching feature of this solution really useful."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the interface and configuration. It's very easy to use."
"The HPE Ethernet switches have very low latency."
"The most valuable feature is that they all have PoE. It's one of the most important things that we need in the EdgeSwitch."
"The most valuable feature in HPE Ethernet Switches is programmability and analytics."
"The solution offers lifetime warranties."
"he stability is very good on this solution. There have been no bugs, glitches or crashes."
"HPE Ethernet Switches are scalable, and their software is also quite sturdy."
"We get a lifetime warranty for the solution so whenever the switches get faulty, you can get a replacement."
"The solution needs to improve their product range."
"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."
"Arista Networks Platform should focus on improving the compatibility or integration with Cisco solutions."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"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."
"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 is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"They should have a more stable code."
"The VLAN tagging could be improved,"
"Technical support needs improvement, as the response time could be better."
"There is room for improvement in the update process, especially the web UI update process."
"Authentication and other security features are not easily satisfied using the lower-end switches."
". There is room for improvement in pricing. One box shouldn't require additional installations. We need a package deal with licenses that are usable for different tasks. Right now, we need a license for every additional feature, which adds up."
"Some users might look for high-speed switching like Cisco or Nexus switches, which can handle larger volumes. HPE's current offerings aren't as robust in that area, but they could improve."
"It would be helpful to have training available for this solution."
"Configuration can be complex."
