Rock-solid connectivity and WiFi coverage
It's a hardwired solution so our customers do not have to use a mesh network — I really dislike that. It causes too much delay, etc. As with any product, there is always room for improvement. A good router is not cheap. A good switch is not cheap. Let's say somebody develops a new frequency — 7GHz. Well, in that case, you'd need a special router. I have some customers who request Cat7 for their homes. That's way too much. So I'd say, "What are you going to run over here? Let's just run fiber optics. Then the customer will respond, "Well, I read somewhere and other people have told me that if you're going to wire your house, go with Cat7." I'd say, "Sir, you're not going to even utilize Cat5e." I use Cat5e, and believe it or not, I can pump at 10 gigabits per second with Cat5e. The same was true with ePoE — now we have ePoE+. Some switches with ePoE cannot supply as much juice as the modern ePoE+, which requires much more power. The basic switch doesn't have the capacity to deal with that. The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic. It pretty much just covers some basic IP information, defense, and how to change the administrator password — that's pretty much it. I am a dealer, I shouldn't have to contact support for basic answers.

Manage network traffic effectively with simple console management and helpful support
Before using UniFi Switches, I used a mixture of HP, Dell, Juniper, and some small D-Link switches. The main reason for switching was that the previous switches were old, with no more updates or support. I decided to use UniFi as a unified solution for all my needs, which includes various sizes of switches.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is that once you buy them, you own them."
"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."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"The product’s most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"Great information on the graphical interface."
"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."
"I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"The customers who buy the access points use the standard Ubiquiti management systems because they're freeware tools. We usually get all the requests and materials from the customer, who knows exactly what he wants."
 

Cons

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"I do not have any notes for improvements."
"The price could be lower."
"The product needs to improve its pricing."
"There is room for improvement in terms fo customer service and support."
"There is currently an issue with supply of switches which needs to be sorted out."
"I think they need to provide a better firewall solution."
"It would be helpful to have better visibility into exactly what is going on in the network."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"Ubiquiti is much more affordable than enterprise brands."
"There are no licensing fees; you just purchase it and run it."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is one of the most cost-effective solutions in the market"
"The price is very low and a good approach for a smaller company, with 10 to 15 people."
"The price is reasonable."
"It's challenging to compare Ubiquiti UniFi Switches and other brands directly due to the significant price difference, especially between US brands like Cisco and Aruba versus others. However, compared to US brands, Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are more cost-effective. On the other hand, if compared with brands from China, it might seem expensive."
"With Ubiquiti UniFi Switches, you get what you pay for."
