We performed a comparison between HPE Ethernet Switches and Ubiquiti UniFi Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."These switches are very stable, to date I have not experienced any issues."
"The graphical userface is very good and quite easy to run with."
"We get a lifetime warranty for the solution so whenever the switches get faulty, you can get a replacement."
"The solution is highly stable."
"HPE Ethernet Switches have a lifetime warranty. I am using an old version of the solution, but I have heard the new models have incorporated a lot of new features, such as remote setup."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is very stable and easy to use."
"We use HPE Ethernet Switches to provide solutions for the hotel, their guests, and IPTV."
"The ability to deploy quickly and then having one central location for all the settings are its most valuable aspects."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"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."
"It is a high-quality product, and it won't let you down."
"It's very easy to deploy – much easier than MikroTik. It's very seamless and well-designed."
"The two most valuable features are the remote access user and the side-to-side connection."
"Ubiquiti is one step above the consumer level. They cost a little bit more, but they just seem to be drop-dead reliable, and they're keeping up with the latest standards."
"Ubiquiti's network management and the way you can manage many different devices on a network are really nice."
"We haven't had any issues with this switch in the past 10 years. That's the reason we're still keeping them alive."
"The only improvement I can think of is that it could be better with less updates."
"There is a limitation of capability."
"The solution's throughput should be increased because we often get stuck when it comes to IPTV streaming."
"The solution’s licensing could be improved."
"Some users might look for high-speed switching like Cisco or Nexus switches, which can handle larger volumes. HPE's current offerings aren't as robust in that area, but they could improve."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The management of the tool must be improved."
"It's difficult to manage the WiFi on the edge switches in the same console."
"If Ubiquiti UniFi Switches had some live support instead of community support, that would go a long way."
"The routing capabilities of Layer 3 should be made easier to implement."
"There is currently an issue with supply of switches which needs to be sorted out."
"Ubiquiti tends to end-of-life things faster than other companies do. Cisco tends to be in the 8-, 10-, 12-year time frame, and Ubiquiti tends to be in the 4- or 5-year time frame."
"We have been having issues with non-homogeneity."
"Functionalities can change quite quickly without notice."
"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."
