Owner/Operator at KPax Audio Video - Networking & Security Surveillance
Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.
Donald Ochanda - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Manager at Network Security and Crypto
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.

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 excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"The best feature of Ubiquiti is the intuitive interface for managing day-to-day work."
"The product is seamless and robust."
"The solution is very good for expanding our LAN, the product has proven itself to be stable, the scalability is very good, the installation itself is very easy, and I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"The ability to manage firmware revisions."
"The price of Ubiquiti is worth it because the integration of the switches is seamless. It's like they just talk to each other."
"It's very easy to deploy – much easier than MikroTik. It's very seamless and well-designed."
"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."
 

Cons

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"I would like to see improvements in their PBX-related features."
"I would like to see the security features improved."
"Functionalities can change quite quickly without notice."
"We've had issues with the power supply. I've had to change the power supply twice."
"The management console could be improved, it's very, very slow."
"They could integrate artificial intelligence for more advanced network traffic analysis and optimization features into the product."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"Some of the features needed to set up the solution are too complex. There's a lot of technical information that is required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"The price is very low and a good approach for a smaller company, with 10 to 15 people."
"I feel that the price of this solution is definitely reasonable compared to all of the others."
"It is expensive."
"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."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is one of the most cost-effective solutions in the market"
"The price is good, and it doesn't require additional licenses."
"The solution's pricing in the marketplace would probably be about three out of ten."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are more expensive than other competitors."
