Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.
Donald Ochanda - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The solution has improved our organization in the fact that we don't take as long to configure anything; it's just plug-and-play, and as far as the wireless goes, it's instantaneous for anybody who wants to get on the network."
"The free support from Ubiquiti for UniFi Switches has been very good."
"The solution is very reliable and stable."
"The most valuable feature of UniFi Switches is the simple management via the UniFi console."
"One of the most valuable features of Ubiquiti UniFi switches is their graphical interface and plug-and-play capability."
"We have integrated the tool for PoE switches and non-PoE switches. Its most valuable feature is SD-WAN. UniFi SD-WAN can access all statistics and performance data in one interface, enabling us to support clients across different locations remotely. Additionally, we can even restart devices remotely through the UniFi SD-WAN."
"These switches are very simple to use and the GUI is very nice."
"They are affordable, they do what they should do, they are open, and you don't have to pay extra for support."
 

Cons

"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches can improve by putting more effort into security. There are not many options in security. Other solutions, you can filter, do access control, and functionality. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches provides all the basic network security where it's all about the password for someone to access the SSID on the network, but it doesn't go beyond advanced network features of packet filtering, monitoring, and managing users."
"There is a need for more documentation on DNS Masq configurations with on-prem DNS servers and how firewall policies work."
"I do not have any notes for improvements."
"We need to upgrade everything too often."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
"The price could be lower."
"I face issues sometimes when two switches or APs are installed next to each other, leading to speed problems."
"Some of the features needed to set up the solution are too complex. There's a lot of technical information that is required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"It is expensive."
"I feel that the price of this solution is definitely reasonable compared to all of the others."
"Ubiquiti switches are quite affordable and you don't have to pay extra for support."
"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."
"UniFi Switches are cost-effective compared to Cisco."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is one of the most cost-effective solutions in the market"
"The price is good, and it doesn't require additional licenses."
"Ubiquiti is very reasonable."
