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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

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."
"It's very easy to deploy – much easier than MikroTik. It's very seamless and well-designed."
"Great information on the graphical interface."
"I can see which ports are connected and which ones are disconnected."
"This product is very reasonably priced."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"These switches are very simple to use and the GUI is very nice."
"The GUI interface is very easy to use and the Linux-based command-line interface is also good."
"The integration with the controller is one of the most valuable features of these switches. They are also very stable. For example, we have some equipment that we haven't touched for four years that is still reliable."
 

Cons

"In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems."
"The price could be lower."
"I would like to see improvements in their PBX-related features. The current setup is closed and does not allow for integration with non-Ubiquiti VoIP devices or providers outside their ecosystem."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"I think they need to provide a better firewall solution."
"If Ubiquiti UniFi Switches had some live support instead of community support, that would go a long way."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"The pricing and scalability could be improved."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation because it is quite poor."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is fair."
"The price of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is really good. We have deployed a few Ubiquiti UniFi Switches in New Zealand, and they are a value for money. They are cheaper and stable, but if you have the budget, I would recommend Meraki switches."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are more expensive than other competitors."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is one of the most cost-effective solutions in the market"
"It's around $179 a device."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The price is very low and a good approach for a smaller company, with 10 to 15 people."
"It is expensive."
