Core and data center applications are the strengths of Arista products. The distribution layer is also a good fit. For the access layer, it would be more of a niche product.Incentivized
As an edge/WAN router that contains internet BGP routes, it handles this work very well. And the devices are robust, able to manage a significant load. However, the interface cost can be somewhat of a hindrance when wanting to use it to interconnect many metro clients.Incentivized
The 7304's along side our core network design has provided 100% uptime during the 5 years of deployment.The multi-chassis LAG has provided near 100% connectivity to the distribution and access switches.Very low maintenance attention is needed.Incentivized

The 7304's lack a graceful non-intrusive upgrade method even though they are dual supervisor.I would like to see more integration with Aruba's ClearPass and Airwave products.Incentivized
I would like to able to find more examples of configs. Given the multiple ways to configure the same setting, having a little more documentation would be helpful.I wish the FPCs and interfaces were cheaper.Incentivized
Juniper support is friendly, easy to understand, widely knowledgeable, and easy to get ahold of. I did not give them a higher rating as some of my more complex issues, were solved by myself while under consultation from Juniper TAC.Incentivized
I have used the Catalyst 6500 series in the past. From my point of view, the Arista surpasses the Catalyst on just about every front. Originally we were planning on implementing the Nexus 7000/7700 series switches for our core. Though a little more feature rich, it did not provide features we needed that the Arista did. The Nexus also was a confusing and complex platform to work with. Also, the Nexus was a significantly more expensive solution. Although very happy with the Arista switches we may evaluate the Aruba HPE 8400 chassis-based switches along with Arista switches in the future.Incentivized
The simplicity, elegance, and robustness of Juniper's solution make it much easier to troubleshoot and configure, when compared to Cisco Routers, especially considering Cisco's implementation of BGP (why are IPv4 and IPv6 linked in Cisco configuration?). Furthermore, the implementation of commit and rollback cannot be understated when compared to the Cisco solutions. This feature is a huge time saver when attempting to troubleshoot and remote configuration instances.Incentivized
The Arista 7000 series met or exceed our data center switching and routing needs.It provided a more cost effective alternative to other products we were considering.Implementation was quick and easy due to the simple standards-based configuration.Incentivized
The stability and robustness of this solution provide a rock-solid foundation for all of our internet traffic.The easy to use rollback and commit features simplifies remote administration and configuration, alleviating the need to travel to remote installation sites.Incentivized
