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

"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"Great information on the graphical interface."
"The product's most valuable features include its robust performance and reliability."
"I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"One of the most valuable features of Ubiquiti UniFi switches is their graphical interface and plug-and-play capability."
"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."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
"The product's easy integration with other Ubiquiti devices is a huge advantage."
 

Cons

"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"It's difficult to manage the WiFi on the edge switches in the same console."
"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."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"I face issues sometimes when two switches or APs are installed next to each other, leading to speed problems."
"We have been having issues with non-homogeneity."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
"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."
"It's expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"The price of this product is cheap."
"The solution's pricing in the marketplace would probably be about three out of ten."
"UniFi Switches are cost-effective compared to Cisco."
"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 setup costs are reasonable, and there are no additional licensing fees beyond the initial purchase."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"It's around $179 a device."
