We performed a comparison between Huawei 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."We use Huawei Ethernet Switches for business networks and connectivity."
"If you're a small one-on-one organization, then cost-effective-wise, I would recommend it."
"The technical documentation available is very good. The technical support for the customer is also good - I would give it 8 out of 10."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches are both scalable and stable."
"Huawei Ethernet Switches come with native ACs."
"The tool’s pricing is reasonable. It has a high throughput capacity."
"This product is competitive technically with the best products in the class."
"The required functionalities align with telecom requirements and have improved from a capacity perspective."
"It offers very good control."
"I can see which ports are connected and which ones are disconnected."
"The ability to manage firmware revisions."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"The solution is very reliable and stable."
"UniFi Switches' best feature is the ability to switch voltage from 24 to 48, and it's almost the only device on the market with this feature."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is the graphic user interface for monitoring, where you can see the status of the device in real-time. I use those features across the campus. I use the APs as my beacons to tell me whether the area of the school of the network is down or not. Those will be the first to alert me that there is a problem with the network or a device. They provide me with more than only monitoring themselves, I use them in order to monitor all the devices."
"I didn't like the Huawei Switches because of the different versions resetting the configuration issue. Huawei doesn't support Layer 3 modes while TOE and ARP have some issues."
"Huawei Switch can make further advancements, as the current CLI lacks functionality. The majority of tasks are performed through the CLI, making it difficult for those without technical expertise to work with. They should enhance the CLI of the access switches to make them more user-friendly. The GUI of the Ethernet Switches should also be improved to allow non-technical users to perform technical tasks with ease. Additionally, the documentation of the solution could improve."
"The company needs to provide more on hand training on the product."
"Huawei has a lot of issues; it's not in sync properly. For instance, if the ONT is down, there's another problem with another ONT that is not functioning correctly. Even after configuring the siding, I cannot reach some other side, and I don't know why it's happening."
"The interoperability of the devices, in general, on the Huawei switches is not good and is known to be not good. Maybe they can improve this a bit."
"The technical support is a bit difficult to work with if you don't speak Mandarin."
"I would like to see some improvements in the access layer switch that is available in Aruba."
"The availability and the speed of the firmware updates are the only things wrong with Huawei. There are some vulnerabilities on the hardware."
"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."
"New products don't integrate well with their management platform. Sometimes you have to go directly to the box or the switch to do the management."
"One of the downsides of the solution stems from the limited warranty that it offers to users."
"If Ubiquiti UniFi Switches had some live support instead of community support, that would go a long way."
"The price could be lower."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
"It would be beneficial for us if Ubiquiti had a team of advanced data transportation specialists that we could get feedback from. We are not experts in data transportation, so having this sort of resource would be helpful for us."
"It would be nice if there was a way to label all of the ports on it so that I could include information about where the various connections go."
