Cisco and Arista are comparable, however the Catalyst family has many more configurations and options. Arista's campus switches don't have as many options.

When shifting to 100% remote work during COVID, we had to ensure we had enough bandwidth available on our Cisco VPN appliances. We also implemented Cisco Umbrella to help protect our remote users.
A combination of Cisco's VPN, AnyConnect, Umbrella, and Catalyst switches enable hybrid work.
The hybrid work model makes for a happier workforce.
Cisco switches are incredibly reliable and durable. They have all of the features you could need, and so many variations of the Catalyst switch- there is one for every need.
