I would recommend Ubiquiti UniFi switches to others, especially for smaller environments. However, without evaluating other products, they may not be suitable for large companies. Overall, I rate Ubiquiti UniFi switches nine out of ten.
The product can enhance network efficiency through its insightful management interface, which allows me to check the details of the connected devices and ports on the network. For instance, I can check which devices are turned on and which ports have functionality issues. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches have PoE features and work with almost every device, including telephones, cameras, and any other device that needs Power over Ethernet (PoE). I use Ubiquiti UniFi Switches primarily for the aforementioned functionality. Overall, I would rate the product an eight out of ten.
UniFi switches have significantly enhanced our network management. One of the most impactful features has been the addition of VPN support a couple of years ago. It has greatly improved our routing capabilities. While VPN and routing are common features in networking equipment, I am particularly happy with how UniFi has implemented these functionalities. The switches' PoE capabilities have made device deployment very easy. Over the last four to five years, I have never encountered any issues with them. I did the entire networking setup for our office and have been very satisfied with the overall networking experience with Ubiquiti. I don't see any AI-specific features from Ubiquiti. It just connects us to the Internet. They may have added AI features in their new product lines, but I haven't seen them yet. The product has helped me save a lot of time and money. The devices are efficient, and the network setup is stable. I no longer need to work on the network, saving me time and maintenance costs. I have already recommended it to two of my colleagues' companies and helped implement it in a partner university. I rate it nine out of ten. The only reason I should have given it a ten is the limited availability of their products in India.
In most cases, we advocate for an end-to-end Ubiquiti product solution. This includes using UniFi switches for various purposes, such as wireless controllers, PoE switches, and non-PoE switches. The tool's product lines are good. The management tools, including the web app and mobile application, are easy to use. With them, I can support clients remotely and troubleshoot issues. Checking equipment statistics is simple. This flexibility is great for helping third-party clients. Once installed, it is an "install and forget" device, requiring minimal attention or troubleshooting. I rate the overall product a nine out of ten. I recommend it. Select the model that fits your customer or client requirements, and you're ready. I am involved in the tool's design, implementation, and support.
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.
I've used Ubiquiti's layer two switches. They have an enterprise version layer three that I've not gotten my hands on yet. The same people who set up the solution are needed to monitor it. It doesn't require a lot of maintenance once they're up and running. Overall, I rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches a nine out of ten.
Unifi switches are great for a cloud managed, low cost switch solution in non=profit and small/mid businesses. Just make sure you have some cold spares for each model switch you have as they can sometimes be hard to replace quickly if you have a failure. I find them very reliable but if you have a power spike or something that damages them they have been out of stock everywhere in the past.

We're just customers. We like using the solution. We didn't want to change horses in midstream, even though a lot of people have attempted to convince us to do so. We try to use the latest version of the solution. We update the firmware on a regular basis and so most of the time, it's maybe one version behind at the most. We're going to basically start some life cycle management too. We're using the solution on-premise with a cloud key. I would advise other users to take training before transitioning from the physical. You can get pretty lost in the process. Take any training you can on the system so that you understand it before you begin. I had a friend who was Cisco certified. He taught IT and he wasn't aware of Ubiquiti and I showed it to him and he said, ''Wow, this is easy.'' It is also very powerful, they didn't skim. The only thing that I have concerns about and everyone does is cybersecurity. Especially since the pandemic hit, there's a lot of activity on the web and there's a lot of malicious stuff going on, and people are looking for the antidote. For me, the biggest lesson I took from working with this solution has to do with understanding the product and planning. Don't go in cold and try and, you know, find the fit for a job. If it's an emergency that's one thing, however, the better you plan, the better result you're going to have. On a scale from one to ten, it's a high 8. I don't really see any major glaring issues other than the support. They do make made a hardened version of the product for harsh environments. It's been all-around a pretty positive experience.
If someone is interested in something, I would definitely recommend it. It is a little more expensive, but it will do the job. It is a high-quality product, and it won't let you down. I would rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches a nine out of ten.

My advice to others is Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is a good technique if you want to run it in a small business, where your major concern is not security. If you're not dealing with a data-sensitive organization, that deals in transactions, such as a bank, it's a good choice. If you use SSP switches they go up to about 10GB per second which is fast on the network. You can use the switches on the core network. However, the only issue is the security aspect of it, you need to invest in something with higher-end security if you're dealing with an enterprise network, where you need proper data protection and user protection. I rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches a seven out of ten.
Ubiquiti may be about to or has already discontinued its Edge product line. They have upgraded their switches and routers to replace them. I don't have any of those, so I'm not familiar with them. I am not really sure, and I could be wrong about it discontinuing. I just saw some comments on some of the forums about this possibly happening. It is somewhat dependent on the class. When compared to what I call home consumers, it is far superior because it has more capabilities. However, if I were to compare it to other commercial grades, such as Cisco and some of the others, I would rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches a seven out of ten.

I would rate this solution 8 out of 10. Cisco might be just one point higher, but twice as expensive. If you really want to save money, then you're getting down into the quality of five or six when you're talking about D-Link and Netgear.
Most of the time I'm going to go with the Pro switches - the PoE 48 port switches, or, if it's a smaller branch office and they only have a few users, I do the 24 ports. I use the long-range Wifi 6 ones, or the short, the regular Wifi 6 ones, which they call the Wifi 6 Light, as well. Some of the time, depending upon the aesthetic, or the type of office, they don't want to put anything on the wall or in the ceiling. Therefore, I put there what they call the APUI. It's not the Wifi 6, however, it's pretty good. I'm trying to stick with Wifi 6 as I'm getting the best throughput pretty much throughout whenever I use it. There's an access point called the Access Point Flex HD which is the one I really like. I'm neither a reseller or a partner with Ubiquiti. When I represent my clients, I give the clients some options. Sometimes they say, "We want to go with Ubiquiti." Or they want to go with Meraki. I don't make money on the sale of the equipment for the simple reason I don't want to be connected to one vendor. If I represent that vendor, that means I'm going to basically push that vendor. I don't want to do that. I want to give the client the best solution for them. I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten.

I would recommend it for offices, but I wouldn't recommend it for data centers. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches at nine.
I've done point to point setups, internet setups, and I've worked with Ubiquiti edge routers and edge switches including UniFi routers, UniFi switches and WAPs. I've worked with all aspects of Ubiquiti. They're a great product and they work well, it's just difficult to get hold of switches now with the chip shortage, but if you're going to be doing projects with a lot of clients who will use Ubiquiti switches, my recommendation is to buy a couple of extra switches and have them in stock. I rate this product a nine out of 10.

I would give Ubiquiti UniFi Switches a rate of Nine on a scale of ten. I just really do like them. Having programmable voltages is fabulous on the ports. Nobody's got programmable voltages on the ports. Ubiquiti have to be because of the gear, but it makes it really slick. That's one place where the GUI is kind of cool, is that you can toggle a port on and off. You can toggle a group of ports off. You can say, "Hey, kill my cameras." It toggles all my cameras for me and bring them back online.

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.
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 exploring the possibility of using our Ubiquiti switch as an external gateway but I'm not sure whether I want a gateway in the cloud, or what kind of gateway exactly, so this is something to be decided later. My advice to anybody who is considering this solution is that you really need to look at the risk profile. Also, I don't think that it is necessarily scalable because I think that I'm on the edge of the limit of what we can use it for. However, there may be something else coming that will assist with this. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
I would recommend it. It's a good solution. You might need something more reliable. For a small company, it is great. I would rate it a seven out of ten. Stability needs improvement.
We are focused on open software and manufacturer-independent solutions, so Ubiquiti fits our strategy well because they operate on the Linux operating system. We have had no problems where this product did not do what it was supposed to do, either from the hardware side or the software side. This is a solution that I recommend for normal operations. The suitability of these switches depends on what you want to do, what your tasks are, and what the application is. Ubiquiti is not always the manufacturer of choice. If you need really high-speed networks or have special requirements then it is important to test things out in the lab beforehand. I have a lot of experience with different switches that are on the market and my favorite are those by Ubiquiti. They are affordable, they do what they should do, they are open, and you don't have to pay extra for support. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

This is a solution that I recommend. It's simple to use, and the installation and configuration are pretty straightforward. Anyone who has a little bit of experience with switches and firewalls could use it. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are managed Gigabit switches (Available with 24 or 48 RJ45 Gigabit ports) designed to meet all your network needs while delivering excellent performance. The switches’ excellent network performance is combined with fiber connectivity that includes two SFP ports and the ability to process traffic without putting packet loss at risk.
Ubiquiti UniFi Switches Are:
Easy to deploy
Simple to use
Affordable
Reliable and stable
Ubiquiti UniFi Switches Support These Three...
