I use the solution in my company's data center, so I use ethernet switches.

The tool's most valuable feature is its cost per port compared to what other vendors offer.

A lack of skills across multiple teams is a concern when it comes to Arista Networks Platform. Arista Networks Platform isn't one of the major players. Even though Arista's operating system looks very much like Cisco, it isn't so. A weakness would be that in our company, we don't have many people within our team who support the product because there are different vendors, and most of them are not tier-one vendors, so the skills required sometimes are just not there. With Cisco, everyone is certified by Cisco in the area of DC.

There are some commands in the tool which I don't understand because I am a Cisco person. Everything that we need for it to do, it does quite well.

I have been using Arista Networks Platform for five to six years. My company has a partnership with Arista.

In my company, we have a global team of 12 people, and we have a global workforce of about 5,500 people.

We may expand the tool as we are currently setting up new data centers in Europe.

I have never contacted the technical support for the solution.

I have used Cisco and pretty much all the big vendors. I have used Cisco, Juniper, Dell, and HP for storage. My company started to use Arista Networks Platform as it helped with the cost-savings part.

The product's implementation phase was easy.

For each site, the solution can be deployed in a week.

I am satisfied with the tool's ROI. If you compare Arista Networks Platform to Cisco NAC, Cisco DNAC, or even Cisco DNA, the tool is almost 50 percent cheaper. It offers huge cost-saving benefits. I work in a global company with over 500 sites. Our data centers are fairly robust, and they are at a global level. You can imagine the sort of cost savings we would have if we had four of the switches from Arista per data center running six days a week so there would be a huge cost-saving benefit.

I am satisfied with the tool.

Arista's EOS has not really helped solve a complex network challenge.

AI as a platform is nowhere near stable enough to be used in a real network.

We have been using Arista Networks Platform for two years.

The platform is easy to scale, but since the deployment, there has been no need or requirement to expand the infrastructure. I believe scalability will be easy whenever it's required.

We have a team to maintain the infrastructure and a support agreement with Arista in case of any issues. They respond immediately.

We have used Cisco and HP as well.

Both companies provide similar services, but Arista's support services are much better than Cisco's.

We provided professional service to the vendor and encountered no issues during the installation and deployment. It took less than four months to complete the process.

Network devices are generally expensive. However, during the evaluation, Arista was the most inexpensive vendor.

I rate Arista Networks Platform a nine out of ten.

Arista Networks is my go-to for network security at work. It is excellent for controlling access, blocking malware sites, and managing web filtering to keep users focused.

The user-friendly policy manager lets us apply different controls for various user groups easily. Plus, deployment is a breeze, and if issues arise, restoring a backup takes just 30 minutes. Arista has become a reliable and efficient solution for our network security requirements.

In my view, Arista could enhance the Wide Area Network balancer and failover. While the failover is swift, less than five seconds, it tends to be overly sensitive, triggering unnecessary alarms and emails. A smoother transition between ISPs during failover would improve the user experience by reducing unnecessary notifications and interruptions.

I have been working with Arista Networks Platform for ten years.

The stability has been outstanding. There is no lagging or crashing, and downtime is minimal, usually only required for significant updates. The system maintains a detailed uptime record, and despite hearing about potential issues, I have never personally experienced any.

Arista Networks is highly scalable, especially when it comes to VRP routing. Handling VRP routing requires some expertise, but for general use, configuration, and maintenance, the platform is surprisingly user-friendly. The GUI is one of the most intuitive interfaces I have encountered, making everyday tasks straightforward to manage.

Arista's tech support is impressive. They typically respond in less than two hours with effective solutions. The only consideration is the fee for support, which might be an issue for some, especially if not factored into the initial purchase. However, their support offerings are transparent, with clear options available during the checkout process. Overall, I would rate the support as a nine out of ten.

Deploying Arista Networks is a one-person task, and it is straightforward. Deploying it from scratch, including downloading the main ISO for the AVO file, typically takes around 35 minutes. Before diving in, ensuring compatibility with OEM layers like Bitdefender is key. The platform is backed by 85 million sensors globally, offering robust internet security, including malware solutions. Arista's user-friendly interface makes it easy to implement comprehensive security policies across different layers.

I find Arista's pricing to be good. While it is not the cheapest, it's more affordable than Cisco or Palo Alto, offering a comprehensive solution that includes everything I need. There are no false alarms or unexpected fees, making it a cost-effective choice for the features and reliability it delivers.

I considered Meraki, CentOS, ClearOps, and SonicWall, before choosing Arista. Arista stood out for its flexible security suite with automatic alerts, unlike other options that felt manual and less comprehensive. My past experiences with Arista and as an MSP recommending solutions to clients confirmed its reliability and effectiveness.

Overall, I would rate Arista Networks Platform as an eight out of ten.
