Reviews from Real Users
A PeerSpot user who is a Director of Technical Operations/CTO at a consultancy says "The ability to deploy quickly and then having one central location for all the settings are its most valuable aspects."
"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," says Doru I., Senior solutions architect at Aplix Technologies
Murali S., Management Consultant at a consultancy, explains that “For the world where you have to balance traffic and traffic loads and bandwidth, their GUI makes it really easy because the switches, though they are enterprise grade level two or level three switches, the GUI is designed so that it's easy to set up VLANs where you need to control your traffic so that your phones don't break up and get choppy because of other people loading the network down too heavily."
Ubiquiti UniFi Switches was previously known as UniFi Switches.

| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| IT Manager at Düsen-Schlick GmbH | 4.0 | I use UniFi Switches for managing our network due to their simple management via the UniFi console. The pricing is cost-effective compared to others, and while I see no specific ROI, they replace outdated HP, Dell, and Juniper switches efficiently. |
| Managing Director at Ensurecom.ch | 4.5 | We use Ubiquiti UniFi switches for small networks, valuing their graphical interface and plug-and-play capability. Though reliable, they need better PBX integration to support non-Ubiquiti VoIP devices. Previously, we used Netgear and found Ruckus too costly. |
| Head of IT at RD Tech | 4.0 | I work with Ubiquiti UniFi Switches, focusing on network management. The UDM Pro and UniFi controller software enhance performance. Despite needing better documentation for configurations, we've seen ROI in a year. Alternatives like Cisco are pricier. |
| Infrastructure Administrator at Aluko & Oyebode | 4.0 | I use Ubiquiti UniFi Switches for their cost efficiency, flexibility, and functionality comparable to Cisco. They support PoE devices, allow cloud management, and suit my needs better than Cisco or Ruckus, though future scalability may require higher-end models. |
| Principal Consultant at Cybercraft | 4.5 | I've been using Ubiquiti UniFi Switches due to their intuitive interface and reliable performance, which simplifies management tasks. However, occasional speed issues arise when placing devices closely, and some control features were omitted in recent updates. |
| CEO at Forward Thinking Network Consultancy Ltd | 3.5 | I primarily sell Ubiquiti UniFi switches for projects requiring PoE, with 95% of orders being PoE. Customers favor their freeware management tools. Improvements are needed in pricing and scalability. I also offer Cisco solutions based on customer requirements. |
| Software Engineer at Usman Engineering Works | 4.0 | I use Ubiquiti UniFi Switches for their easy management and seamless integration through the UniFi controller. While more expensive, their time-saving deployment is valuable, especially compared to TP-Link and D-Link, and suits small to medium-sized enterprises well. |
| Technical consultant at PT Net Sistem Infotama | 4.0 | Ubiquiti UniFi Switches offer a good user interface and competitive pricing, performing well in small to medium networks. However, challenges include limited wireless user authentication and issues with RADIUS server integration, primarily in large-scale environments like data centers. |
