We performed a comparison between 3Com H3C Switches and Arista Networks Platform 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 installation is quite straightforward."
"They are easy to use, they are cheaper, and it's a trusted brand."
"The hardware side is a very big advantage. We use it 24/7 and we haven't had any problems so far with the switches."
"They're straightforward and stable."
"The reliability of the solution has been the best feature."
"It is very stable. It has good hardware and very stable code. It provides good value for its price. They are a very lean type of organization, so they are very responsive, and they're able to focus more on their platform versus having multiple products out there."
"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."
"Arista Networks Platform offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"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."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"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 configuration of 3Com H3C Switches could be better."
"The cost and the integration with other solutions could be better."
"The technical support services need improvement in terms of communication."
"When we try to do configuration changes sometimes it malfunctions."
"I think there's nothing that needs to be improved because the company is no longer in existence."
"The overall price of the Arista Networks Platform is expensive. It should be reduced."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"The product fails to offer functions related to cloud orchestration, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"The intent-based networking management, together with the provider of these solutions that are already free, would be beneficial."
"The solution needs to improve their product range."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved as part of the next upgrade."
"They should have a more stable code."
