Secure, easy to use, and dashboard works well
I use this solution with VxRail I have found some of the key features of the solution are it can be configured similar to Cisco, it is secure, easy to use, and the dashboard works well. In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems. In the future, I…

Has delivered reliable performance over the years but still needs improvements in advanced networking features
I generally recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches for medium-sized corporate clients, as most of them don't mind the brand as long as the system works. With major corporate clients, they still have the mentality that Cisco is superior in the market, but medium-sized clients are easier to deploy at that level. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are improving technically since my last implementation. Our field engineers report significant improvements, and I was involved in Kenya's last general elections where we used Ubiquiti equipment, both wireless and switching, which performed excellently. My assessment of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches' centralized management is that, while I haven't interacted with it extensively, it works similarly to Cisco and Meraki platforms. Field engineers should be able to provide better answers regarding this feature. The port isolation feature on Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is standard, which I believe is appropriate considering they provide standard security features on the port.

Pros

"I have found some of the key features of the solution are it can be configured similar to Cisco, it is secure, easy to use, and the dashboard works well."
"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."
"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."
"The GUI interface is very easy to use and the Linux-based command-line interface is also good."
"I can see which ports are connected and which ones are disconnected."
"I highly recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches due to their ease of management and cost efficiency."
"It is very easy to deploy. The deployment time for a single device is a near instant."
"They are affordable, they do what they should do, they are open, and you don't have to pay extra for support."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
 

Cons

"In some configurations, I am unable to use two switches as one and it causes some problems."
"It's difficult to manage the WiFi on the edge switches in the same console."
"I would like to see improvements in their PBX-related features. The current setup is closed and does not allow for integration with non-Ubiquiti VoIP devices or providers outside their ecosystem."
"UniFi lacks the granularity."
"The biggest thing I found with Ubiquiti was that they started coming out with different product lines, and that's okay, but those products don't integrate well with their management platform."
"The pricing and scalability could be improved."
"The price could be lower."
"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."
"We've had issues with the power supply. I've had to change the power supply twice."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is fair."
"There are no licensing fees; you just purchase it and run it."
"I feel that the price of this solution is definitely reasonable compared to all of the others."
"The price is very low and a good approach for a smaller company, with 10 to 15 people."
"With Ubiquiti UniFi Switches, you get what you pay for."
"Ubiquiti is one of the cheapest WiFi network providers that provide a very good WiFi network, which is monitored and deployable. The price is very fair for the technology they're offering."
"The price is good, and it doesn't require additional licenses."
"Everything was bought in a one-time buy as a capital investment, so there isn't any licensing."
"The price of this product is cheap."
