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."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its reliability."
"The ability to manage firmware revisions."
"The fact that you can manage everything including the switch-level configuration, and access point configuration of both the wireless networks and the LAN, is very useful."
"The solution is very reliable and stable."
"The product's most valuable features include its robust performance and reliability."
"The price of Ubiquiti is worth it because the integration of the switches is seamless. It's like they just talk to each other."
"The price is very low and a good approach for a smaller company, with 10 to 15 people."
"It is a high-quality product, and it won't let you down."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"They could integrate artificial intelligence for more advanced network traffic analysis and optimization features into the product."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"The documentation for command lines needs to be improved."
"It would be helpful to have better visibility into exactly what is going on in the network."
"I think they need to provide a better firewall solution."
"I would say they're a little bit harder than most for the initial install if you are a pro-consumer."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The price should be improved."
"The setup costs are reasonable, and there are no additional licensing fees beyond the initial purchase."
"The solution's pricing in the marketplace would probably be about three out of ten."
"The solution only offers one-year warranties but should offer three-year or limited-loss warranties."
"The price is good, and it doesn't require additional licenses."
"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 price is very low and a good approach for a smaller company, with 10 to 15 people."
