We performed a comparison between Arista Networks Platform and Aruba 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 is scalable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is very stable."
"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 user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"The configuration capabilities were good."
"Arista Networks Platform has a feature that helps with monitoring and management."
"What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Switches is security."
"There is a limited lifetime warranty with the switches, so if we have any problems, the switch is replaced very quickly."
"The most valuable Aruba switch feature is the lifetime warranty. It is a plus point in the budget."
"The most valuable feature is the switches are reliable and replaced for free if anything goes wrong."
"I like the number of available throughputs and its ability to have different speeds of ethernet cards or fiber-optic SFPs. It's a core switch, and you can configure it as per your requirements. All the configuration details are well documented on the HP website or Aruba website, and one can easily refer to those and find all the relevant commands from the documentation itself. It's also easy to maintain this solution. It's also cheaper than competing products."
"Very easy and quick to setup and provide a nice dashboard providing a view of everything."
"The solution has great open architecture."
"The most valuable feature is that it's very easy to configure."
"The solution is quite expensive. One of the negative aspects of it is the pricing."
"The solution needs to accommodate new features."
"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."
"Its price can be better."
"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."
"A smoother transition between ISPs during failover would improve the user experience by reducing unnecessary notifications and interruptions."
"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."
"If we compare Aruba and Cisco at the data center layer, Cisco has its Nexus switch. Aruba provides the new 10000 series, but it does not compare with the Nexus switch."
"The biggest issue right now is the delivery timeline. It takes too long to get the product."
"I am forced to consider changing products because other solutions have a better dashboard and a user-friendly interface."
"The element of security always can be improved. If the solution continues to improve its security functionality, it will continue to be a great product."
"In the next release, I would like to see network access control on the switches themselves. I would like to see security functionalities when it comes to monitoring the bit of the wireless section of the switches."
"The dashboard could be improved, especially for the CX Switches. It would help to push scripts and configurations via an easy to use dashboard, one which would give us complete visibility of all of our switches in one place. Right now, we have more than one dashboard for Aruba. It would be nice if it was centralized."
"It's a little less convenient for more simplified management needs."
"The command-line interface could be easier to use, perhaps having voice control."
