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."The configuration capabilities were good."
"The most valuable feature is the Linux shell, which is useful for troubleshooting or capturing traffic."
"Arista Networks Platform offers straightforward deployment, and has good features. Support for the platform is also good."
"Arista Networks Platform is comfortable, easy to deploy, and easy to manage, with non-blocking technology. Additionally, it has a useful CloudVision platform and automation capabilities."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"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."
"What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"The most valuable feature is that they all have PoE. It's one of the most important things that we need in the EdgeSwitch."
"Switching to HPE Ethernet Switches greatly improved our network. We used to have both Cisco and HPE Ethernet Switches. Our network performance has increased by 300 percent."
"The HPE Ethernet switches have very low latency."
"HPE Ethernet Switches are scalable, and their software is also quite sturdy."
"HPE is very reliable because it has a lifetime warranty, so the switches didn't give us any problems."
"A very robust solution."
"They are affordable and very stable. They also have good performance."
"The most valuable feature is the IRF."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved as part of the next upgrade."
"Its price can be better."
"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."
"I want the solution to include a unified controller."
"The solution needs to accommodate new features."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"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."
"The ability to stack, as well as a unified operating system, would be extremely beneficial."
"The security of the solution always has room for improvement."
"It would be helpful to have training available for this solution."
"The quality of the service needs improvement."
"The cost could be better. HPE has to study it carefully with other vendors in the market, like Cisco or Juniper."
"We have some problems with the performance of our HPE Ethernet Switches because they are old."
"I would like to see more updates for the solution."
"The management of the tool must be improved."
