We performed a comparison between Mellanox 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."The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the size, power consumption, and the vast amount of features."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its functionality."
"The tool is very configurable because it runs on a Linux operating system."
"From what I've been told, a valuable feature of Mellanox switches is they're quite user-friendly."
"It is a very easy-to-use product."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the powerful hardware and the software is open. They're using Linux operating system. You can do and install many things, and it performs well."
"The user interface makes it simple to configure and manage."
"Good price point and very simple to use."
"The ability to manage firmware revisions."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"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. I use those features across the campus. I use the APs as my beacons to tell me whether the area of the school of the network is down or not. Those will be the first to alert me that there is a problem with the network or a device. They provide me with more than only monitoring themselves, I use them in order to monitor all the devices."
"I can see which ports are connected and which ones are disconnected."
"It's very easy to deploy – much easier than MikroTik. It's very seamless and well-designed."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"The configuration is a bit different from Cisco, and therefore, for me at least, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"The scalability is working fine at the moment, but there's always room for improvement. As of right now, I don't know of any improvements to suggest."
"Mellanox Switches were easier before Nvidia bought Mellanox and then their new version of the operating system changed. They started with Ennui, and now they only use Linux. If they returned to their previous CLI it would be a good option for starters. The new CLI is more difficult to use but more powerful than the older one. It has its advantages."
"Mellanox Switches could improve by adding some features that can make it easier for integrating the switches in some managing and monitoring platforms, such as Elastic or similar software for monitoring data with the data center in a more holistic way."
"If you compare this solution with Cisco, utilization in Cisco is more popular and it is more friendly."
"We need to upgrade everything too often."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
"In the next release, it would be beneficial to include a face recognition feature for door access control to enhance security and user convenience."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"This brand is not very popular in China."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"It would be helpful to have better visibility into exactly what is going on in the network."
"If Ubiquiti UniFi Switches had some live support instead of community support, that would go a long way."
