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."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."
"What we like most is its performance to price ratio."
"They support open standard features."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution is scalable."
"The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily."
"It's an extremely reliable platform for the network switches we use."
"The solution has good load latency. They're the market leader in this aspect right now."
"It is easy to set up."
"A valuable aspect is its user-friendly configuration, making it accessible even for individuals with basic technical knowledge."
"The interface management and the user access management is pretty good."
"The tool has impacted our company's network costs and productivity in a perfect manner and percentage-wise, I can say it is 120 percent."
"Some of the most valuable features are the simplicity, cost, usability, and power. As a package, it's extremely effective."
"I like that it's quite flexible and addresses different issues. It's quite easy to use, and the pricing is great. We find them to be very capable switches."
"The most valuable feature is that it has better throughput than its competitors."
"The GUI is easy to use."
"The solution needs to accommodate new features."
"The solution’s pricing could be better."
"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."
"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 solution needs to improve their product range."
"The community is good but is not good enough. It still needs to grow more."
"The CVP management platform needs to be improved."
"Its price can be better."
"MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera."
"The packet filtering, user log data, and user access log could all be improved."
"If MikroTik had a marketing team and support team in India then it would be much easier for us to get the product, as well as support."
"The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
"Stuff that I'd like to be improved is really just training and documentation because I think the feature set is full. Another improvement I'd suggest is that their new, bigger releases should be a bit more stable."
"The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better."
"The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS."
"The RAM capacity offered by the product needs to be increased, as it is one area where the tool currently has some shortcomings."
