Owner/Operator at KPax Audio Video - Networking & Security Surveillance
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

"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"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."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"Overall the solution functions very well."
"I highly recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches due to their ease of management and cost efficiency."
"The performance is good, they also have good prices, and they have a lot of functions in their software."
"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 product is seamless and robust."
"It's been working fine, it's been stable, and there are no interruptions."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its reliability."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
 

Cons

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"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 documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"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."
"The product needs to improve its pricing."
"The pricing and scalability could be improved."
"The switches supply chain is a huge issue they need to improve."
"I had some initial problems with the configuration that necessitated contacting technical support."
"It is not as stable as required."
"The support is pretty much email-based and that's horrible for an enterprise product."
"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."
"We have been having issues with non-homogeneity."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"Everything was bought in a one-time buy as a capital investment, so there isn't any licensing."
"The price is good, and it doesn't require additional licenses."
"The setup costs are reasonable, and there are no additional licensing fees beyond the initial purchase."
"The price could be improved."
"There are no licensing fees; you just purchase it and run it."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is one of the most cost-effective solutions in the market"
"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."
"The price of this product is cheap."
