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.

"One of the most valuable features of Ubiquiti UniFi switches is their graphical interface and plug-and-play capability."
"I like the control one has with this solution; you manage everything from one central point."
 

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."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"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 documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"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."
"In terms of stability, I like it pretty well, though one of the ports on it went dead about two or three weeks ago."
"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."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
"Cisco switches had advantages over Ubiquiti UniFi Switches during my last interaction because Cisco had many more functionalities."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"The routing capabilities of Layer 3 should be made easier to implement."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
"One of the downsides of the solution stems from the limited warranty that it offers to users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"Ubiquiti is very reasonable."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are more expensive than other competitors."
"I feel that the price of this solution is definitely reasonable compared to all of the others."
"Ubiquiti is much more affordable than enterprise brands."
"It's around $179 a device."
"The price is good, and it doesn't require additional licenses."
"Ubiquiti switches are quite affordable and you don't have to pay extra for support."
