Ubiquiti UniFi Switches Reviews

Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are stable and support Layer 3. They come with a user-friendly interface. If you're not familiar with the command-line interface or you wouldn't like to configure it by using the command line, they have a user-friendly interface that you can use. They also have good documentation about how to use these switches.

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.

Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are stable. If you configure them properly, and they are in a proper server room with good cooling, they work fine.

Scalability is probably possible, but it is not common to scale these. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are more suitable if you don't need to create a really big, scalable solution at an enterprise level, and you have two or three switches with a firewall. For a big company, in terms of scalability, Cisco or F5 switches work better than Ubiquiti switches. If you have a good budget, Cisco or F5 would be better.

If you would like to scale Ubiquiti UniFi Switches, you probably can. They are probably not difficult to scale. It depends on your skills. I have not scaled them before.

They are good. In the last year, we did not have any issues with their switches.

They just give you a small card. You can scan the code on the card and go to the web page. You can also directly go to the web page to see the documents. They do not provide any documents with the box. You need to go to the internet to see how to do the initial setup, that is, how to set the login ID, password, default IP (if it exists), and other options.

As compared to Ubiquiti, Cisco provides exact communication about whether the IP address needs to be configured on the device or whether it is pre-configured.

The price of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is really good. We have deployed a few Ubiquiti UniFi Switches in New Zealand, and they are a value for money. They are cheaper and stable, but if you have the budget, I would recommend Meraki switches. 

Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are suitable for small companies. I don't know any company that uses these at the enterprise level. If Ubiquiti wants to brand it as a big enterprise solution, it needs to advertise and promote these switches accordingly.

I would rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches an eight out of ten.

I am in the audio-visual industry. All the TVs, PCs, mobile phones, iPads, and tablets connect to the solution.

Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is a stable solution.

Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is not a cheap solution.

I have been using Ubiquiti UniFi Switches for over six years.

The solution's stability is very good.

I rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches ten out of ten for stability.

Around 50 customers are using Ubiquiti UniFi Switches.

I rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches ten out of ten for scalability.

The solution's initial setup is straightforward.

The solution's deployment doesn't take too long and can be done within 10 to 15 minutes. To deploy the solution, you must have the controller, connect everything up, adopt it, and then go into your settings. It doesn't take long.

We are a small company, and I do all the deployment myself.

With Ubiquiti UniFi Switches, you get what you pay for.

I would recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches to other users because it is stable, reliable, and easy to deploy.

Overall, I rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches ten out of ten.

We are a customer of Ubiquiti. The key for us is the switch. The edge with the core switch, servicing office environments. I believe we use the US-48 and US-24, with a 10 gig with the SFP+ port. We have about 200 deployments scheduled for the next few weeks, so I'd say in total we will have 200 to 300 people involved and we plan to increase usage. 

The ability to manage firmware revisions is probably the most valuable feature. 

The management console could be improved, It's very, very slow. In the next release, I'd like to see some amalgamation of the two different consoles. I believe it's difficult to manage both the WiFi on the edge switches in the same console. Some more SFP+ ports would also be helpful. They should also try lowering the price of cloud management, it's mostly about management. If you can manage it quickly, and it's a little more cost-effective to manage it in the cloud, that would be a big improvement. 

I've been using the product for six months. 

The stability so far has been very good. No downtime, no outages.

It's a scalable solution but the limit on the number of 10 gig ports was an issue.

Our technical support is carried out through a third party so I haven't had any experience with that. 

The company previously has another solution but I wasn't involved with that. I was responsible for the company switching to UniFi.

The setup was straightforward and deployment took about three weeks. We used a consultant for the process and were very satisfied. 

We haven't had to pay any licensing costs at all.

Something people need to look out for is the cost of cloud management. For us, that's been handled externally at the moment, so we're not actually paying for that directly. It's something people should consider with Ubiquiti.

I would rate this product an eight out of 10. 

The tool's most valuable feature is port security, which allows blocking/disabling ports. The ports also have PoE capability. 

Ubiquiti UniFi Switches need to add DNS lookup features. 

I have been working with the product since 2016. 

I rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. 

I rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches' scalability a nine out of ten. 

Ubiquiti UniFi Switches' support is good. 

Positive

The tool's deployment is straightforward. The deployment took a week to complete. 

I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten. 

I evaluated Cisco before Ubiquiti UniFi Switches. Its cost was high. 

I rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches an eight out of ten. 

We use the product for accessing controls for video conferencing.

The product’s most valuable features are stability and scalability.

Ubiquiti UniFi Switches’s pricing could be less expensive.

We have been using Ubiquiti UniFi Switches for two years.

I rate the product’s stability a nine out of ten.

The product has good scalability.

The technical support services are good.

The initial setup is straightforward. It takes less than 30 minutes and requires a manager and an engineer to execute the process.

Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are more expensive than HP and Aruba. We purchase its yearly license.

I rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches a nine out of ten.

We use Ubiquiti UniFi Switches for our Wi-Fi solution to support wireless devices.

This product is very reasonably priced.

I have not found any of the technical features to be particularly valuable.

The management of this product needs to be improved.

Cloud-based management would be a helpful feature.

I would like to be able to customize the SSID.

For now, I'm not able to manage my device via the Application installed on my server. I'm not able to manage the devices (lost of connection with the devices).

The installation is more a familial installation instead of a professional installation.

Need to be improve on my company side.

My company has been using these switches for about one year, but I have only been working with them for three months.

Sometimes this solution works, and sometimes it doesn't. What I have found is that for two access points, it seems to be stable. Beyond that, with three or four access points, it doesn't work.

We have 10 sites that use these switches. In my site, we have 20 users but they are not all connected via Wi-Fi. Some are instead connected using an ethernet cable.

In some sites, they have between 20 and 30 staff, and maybe 50% or 60% of them use Wi-Fi. Most of our devices are Android tablets. Also, some of the clients connect to the Wi-Fi as well.

It works well for small companies with open space. However, it is not viable for businesses with 500 or more people.

I have not been in contact with technical support.

Prior to Ubiquiti UniFi, we did not use another Wi-Fi switch.

The implementation was completed by the IT staff before me.

I don't know for now.

The price is very low and a good approach for a smaller company, with 10 to 15 people. 

I would rate this solution a five out of ten.

One of the primary use cases we have for this solution is integration with UDM/and WIFI access point.

The integration with the controller is one of the most valuable features of these switches. They are also very stable. For example, we have some equipment that we haven't touched for four years that is still reliable.

Firmware stability and accurate documentation regarding advanced networking. 

I have been using Ubiquiti UniFi switches for five years.

We were not having any issues.

Having a range of customers with moderate needs, I'm not sure I can comment on the scalability.

We have never needed to contact tech support. 

At my previous place of employment, we used NETGEAR. I'm not sure what my current employer was using before this solution.

The initial setup was easy. We did run into a few funny bumps, but we got over them.

Their pricing is reasonable and fair.

I would say: first read about networking, second, read about the hardware scope. Some people expect the machines to do magic by themselves; a little touch and knowledge should make a difference.

UniFi is marketing a wide range of special purpose products to choose from. 

It's been working fine, it's been stable, and there are no interruptions. It's been there doing its job and has not required any work to keep alive, so that's been positive.

I had some initial problems with the configuration that necessitated contacting technical support.

I have been working with Ubiquiti UniFi Switches for five years.

I have not scaled since the initial setup but it seems to be fine. I think that includes what you need to scale it.

I don't fully remember my experience with them, but I think that it was relatively good.

My initial setup needed some kind of reconfiguration to work, which is why it took some time to get it set up and running. The support was deferred, and I'm not sure if it was related to the skills of the technical support people. Overall, I would say that it's fair.

I have experience with NETGEAR products as well.

The initial setup is a little complex. I can't recall exactly how it was or what happened, but I contacted technical support and we tried some different configurations. On that level, it was not very easy.

The price is reasonable.

I am currently looking for a new solution and am looking at NETGEAR as well as Ubiquiti, but there is nothing that has been decided yet. One of the things that I've been looking at is the combined switch and firewall in one. From the reviews I have read, it seems like people have had initial issues with it that dwell on the configuration.

My advice for anybody who is looking into implementing this product is to go ahead and buy it. This is a good switch; the functionality is there and the design is nice too. I think that it's a good buy.

So far, this product has had what we've needed. Even though I'm an engineer, I have not done a deep dive into this switch. As such, I haven't paid so much attention to it or the initial setup, so I'm not sure that if I am missing anything or not.

Other than the configuration problems, I haven't had any issues.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
