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

"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"It is great size-wise and the user interface is easy to use. You don't need to be a pro to use this solution."
"The central management is provided by the UniFi management system. You can manage everything from a single interface. The SDN mode that the entire unified system uses is a software-defined network format."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches does everything I need it to do."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
"The Ubiquiti is a rock and that's why we use them."
"The best feature of Ubiquiti is the intuitive interface for managing day-to-day work."
"The user interface makes it simple to configure and manage."
 

Cons

"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"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."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"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 would say they're a little bit harder than most for the initial install if you are a pro-consumer."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"Firmware stability and accurate documentation regarding advanced networking."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation because it is quite poor."
"Some of the features needed to set up the solution are too complex. There's a lot of technical information that is required."
"The support is pretty much email-based and that's horrible for an enterprise product. I can't call anybody right away."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"There are no licensing fees; you just purchase it and run it."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"With Ubiquiti UniFi Switches, you get what you pay for."
"The price should be improved."
"The price of the solution is fair compared to others. However, it is expensive."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is one of the most cost-effective solutions in the market"
"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 solution's pricing in the marketplace would probably be about three out of ten."
