Ubiquiti UniFi Switches Reviews

We have one or two UniFi switches, but they don't really compete with the Ciscos. It's a nice environment as far as keeping track of things and being able to manage ports, turn off rogue users, and stuff like that. The access points have been pretty convenient compared to Meraki, Lucent, Cisco, or any of the other bigger vendors that I used to deal with for other consulting projects.

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. Their latest versions of access points are all Wi-Fi 6, and they don't take very much power when there aren't a lot of users.

It's really easy to build one configuration and just apply it to new devices.

It's a check mark box: Do I want this to be the staff VLAN, or the public VLAN, or the Voice over IP VLAN, or the security VLAN, or the house wiring VLAN, or the building logistics VLAN? You just check things off and then you make groups, so if you click on it, it applies all the appropriate things automatically. It makes it very easy.

This solution is good for the prosumer, small office, medium office, under 500 people range, but probably over 50 people and maybe distributed around five or 10 sites. That's a pretty good sweet spot as far as the price for the equipment and the configurability, and it's just drop-dead reliable. It's been boring, which is what I love because I don't get any calls in the middle of the night that something isn't working.

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. If you buy Ubiquiti, you'll probably need to replace it in a period of time, but it's going to work flawlessly unless it gets hit with lightning. They don't survive lightning hits very well, but that's what insurance policies are for.

I use UniFi Switches for our network. We need switches for notebooks, PCs, printers, and other normal equipment.

The most valuable feature of UniFi Switches is the simple management via the UniFi console. It is very easy to implement, and the straightforward management contributes to effective traffic management.

We have been using Ubiquiti UniFi switches both at home and in the office. We primarily use them for smaller networks, not in a large enterprise environment. They are suitable for environments with around ten to 20 people.

One of the most valuable features of Ubiquiti UniFi switches is their graphical interface and plug-and-play capability. They are software-configured and offer many PoE ports. 

Additionally, the firmware can be updated, allowing the switch to adapt to new rules. We have not had any outages, and they have a standard interface that has evolved to support both their standard and other PoE standards in recent years.

We sell most of the switches for projects that require PoE switches. 95% of the switches we sell are PoE.

The customers who buy the access points use the standard Ubiquiti management systems because they're freeware tools. We usually get all the requests and materials from the customer, who knows exactly what he wants.

We have multiple network segments for different purposes, like surveillance, IP cameras, and our IT infrastructure. We manage the switches through the UniFi software, which allows us to easily segregate all the VLANs. The switches are connected to our pfSense firewall, and from there, they go to all the other devices on the network.

The good thing about UniFi is that it makes deploying and managing the switches very easy. It creates its own ecosystem, so once everything is connected, you can manage everything from the UniFi controller. This makes life much easier. You don't have to go into each individual switch to configure it; you can do everything from one place. It saves a lot of time.

The features I've used have been satisfactory for my needs.

Ubiquiti UniFi Switches help me to control devices remotely through a network. 

The product's easy integration with other Ubiquiti devices is a huge advantage. Wireless Access Points (WAP) can be managed seamlessly using Ubiquiti UniFi Switches. When updates from the vendor are implemented for the product, they fix bugs but also sometimes create issues with the devices connected to Ubiquiti UniFi Switches. 

I have been using UniFi Controller software to create multiple asset IDs that help me manage groups of people. I have divided a guest network separately. The MAC filtering allows me to permit only the required people of the network.

The best feature of Ubiquiti is the intuitive interface for managing day-to-day work. It is easy for the lower staff to understand. I can manage user connectivity, limit bandwidth, apply MAC address filtering, and it offers POE capabilities. The stability of UniFi Switches is commendable, and they offer peace of mind due to their reliable performance.

We usually promote MikroTik routers, wireless routers, and Ubiquiti switches and access points. That's what we mainly work with.

We work with the hospitality sector and install a lot of switches in those facilities. This improves customer Wi-Fi performance and behavior. We usually solve issues with a combination of a switch plus access points, increasing performance and service across the entire network.

In general, the PoE capabilities of UniFi switches work well. We don't have many complaints about the PoE or the switches overall. The failure rate is very low.
