We performed a comparison between Brocade Ethernet 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 reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The technical support is good."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"The ability to manage firmware revisions."
"The GUI interface is very easy to use and the Linux-based command-line interface is also good."
"The interface and the duality are the solution's most valuable features."
"The solution’s scalability is good."
"Good price point and very simple to use."
"Overall the solution functions very well."
"I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"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."
"No graphical interface."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"There are some performance issues."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches can improve by putting more effort into security. There are not many options in security. Other solutions, you can filter, do access control, and functionality. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches provides all the basic network security where it's all about the password for someone to access the SSID on the network, but it doesn't go beyond advanced network features of packet filtering, monitoring, and managing users."
"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."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
"I'd like there to be better reporting for the solution."
"It would be helpful to have better visibility into exactly what is going on in the network."
"We have been having issues with non-homogeneity."
"It's difficult to manage the WiFi on the edge switches in the same console."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
