Secure, easy to use, and dashboard works well
I use this solution with VxRail I have found some of the key features of the solution are it can be configured similar to Cisco, it is secure, easy to use, and the dashboard works well. In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems. In the future, I…

Has delivered reliable performance over the years but still needs improvements in advanced networking features
I generally recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches for medium-sized corporate clients, as most of them don't mind the brand as long as the system works. With major corporate clients, they still have the mentality that Cisco is superior in the market, but medium-sized clients are easier to deploy at that level. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are improving technically since my last implementation. Our field engineers report significant improvements, and I was involved in Kenya's last general elections where we used Ubiquiti equipment, both wireless and switching, which performed excellently. My assessment of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches' centralized management is that, while I haven't interacted with it extensively, it works similarly to Cisco and Meraki platforms. Field engineers should be able to provide better answers regarding this feature. The port isolation feature on Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is standard, which I believe is appropriate considering they provide standard security features on the port.

Pros

"I have found some of the key features of the solution are it can be configured similar to Cisco, it is secure, easy to use, and the dashboard works well."
"I have found some of the key features of the solution are it can be configured similar to Cisco, it is secure, easy to use, and the dashboard works well."
"The value here with using the Ubiquiti products across the board is that they're almost all single-pane management and the single-pane management is included. It's a huge benefit."
"The user interface makes it simple to configure and manage."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is the graphic user interface for monitoring, where you can see the status of the device in real-time."
"The solution’s scalability is good."
"Ubiquiti is one step above the consumer level. They cost a little bit more, but they just seem to be drop-dead reliable, and they're keeping up with the latest standards."
"It's been working fine, it's been stable, and there are no interruptions."
"We primarily use this solution for the VPN and it has been successful for us."
"They're a great product and they work well, it's just difficult to get hold of switches now with the chip shortage, but if you're going to be doing projects with a lot of clients who will use Ubiquiti switches, my recommendation is to buy a couple of extra switches and have them in stock."
 

Cons

"In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems."
"In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems."
"The UniFi switches are for people who are not very into technology and if you have a big deployment with special configurations then this line of switches is very limited."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"If Ubiquiti UniFi Switches had some live support instead of community support, that would go a long way."
"They can improve the visibility of networks to match Meraki switches, which have good visibility tools to go through the network. In a Meraki device, you get a clear picture when using the bug interface. You can also see its neighbors and have a clear picture of all connected devices. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches do not have such features that Meraki switches provide."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
"We're never able to get help from technical support. We don't use them due to this."
"The biggest thing I found with Ubiquiti was that they started coming out with different product lines, and that's okay, but those products don't integrate well with their management platform."
"Cisco switches had advantages over Ubiquiti UniFi Switches during my last interaction because Cisco had many more functionalities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is fair."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution only offers one-year warranties but should offer three-year or limited-loss warranties."
"The solution's pricing in the marketplace would probably be about three out of ten."
"Everything was bought in a one-time buy as a capital investment, so there isn't any licensing."
"It is expensive."
"Ubiquiti switches are quite affordable and you don't have to pay extra for support."
"I feel that the price of this solution is definitely reasonable compared to all of the others."
"Ubiquiti is one of the cheapest WiFi network providers that provide a very good WiFi network, which is monitored and deployable. The price is very fair for the technology they're offering."
