Secure, easy to use, and dashboard works well

Technical Manager at Network Security and Crypto
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."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches does everything I need it to do."
"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. I use those features across the campus. I use the APs as my beacons to tell me whether the area of the school of the network is down or not. Those will be the first to alert me that there is a problem with the network or a device. They provide me with more than only monitoring themselves, I use them in order to monitor all the devices."
"The Ubiquiti is a rock and that's why we use them."
"I would gladly recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches."
"It is great size-wise and the user interface is easy to use. You don't need to be a pro to use this solution."
"The performance is good, they also have good prices, and they have a lot of functions in their software."
"The fact that you can manage everything including the switch-level configuration, and access point configuration of both the wireless networks and the LAN, is very useful."
"The stability so far has been very good, with no downtime and no outages."
 

Cons

"In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
"I had some initial problems with the configuration that necessitated contacting technical support."
"It would be beneficial for us if Ubiquiti had a team of advanced data transportation specialists that we could get feedback from. We are not experts in data transportation, so having this sort of resource would be helpful for us."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"There is room for improvement in terms fo customer service and support."
"This brand is not very popular in China."
"The pricing and scalability could be improved."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is fair."
"Ubiquiti is much more affordable than enterprise brands."
"Ubiquiti switches are quite affordable and you don't have to pay extra for support."
"Everything was bought in a one-time buy as a capital investment, so there isn't any licensing."
"UniFi Switches are cost-effective compared to Cisco."
"It's around $179 a device."
"The price of the solution is fair compared to others. However, it is expensive."
"The price is reasonable."
