Software driven cloud networking solution with fully automated functionalities.
What do you like best?
Arista platforms are very much intelligent, and the self-healing mechanism is lovely.
You can view network traffic using Arista cloud vision portal, you have shell access and you can automate network functions as per the need.
I would say Arista devices very much intelligent and cisco + feature.
We have moved some of our customers from Cisco to Arista due to the smart network function and feature set that Arista offers, developed spine - Leaf architecture and added core fabric module to Arista.
The Technical support team have been a very helpful to work with and also it is easy to submit a service request through email. They are very much professional and expert on the product families. We have got end to end support during the migration becauase the Implementation was bit tough when you move from other vendor to Arista. There were few minor challanges seen but the Arista technical team has helped to fix the hardware level issues immediately.
Its been more than 1.5 years we are running arista platform and planning to grab more products for the customers DC environment.
Network management and feature set is significantly better then other vendors. I have built custom automation sripts for network functions monitoring and alerts and also implemented CloudVision for network Telemetry which is great added value for network automation and Management.
Good Job Arista ! Fantastic Team ! Vendors to the Future !
