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

"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."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"Good price point and very simple to use."
"The switches' PoE capabilities have made device deployment very easy."
"These switches are very simple to use and the GUI is very nice."
"The interface and the duality are the solution's most valuable features."
"I can see which ports are connected and which ones are disconnected."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

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."
"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 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 think they need to provide a better firewall solution."
"They can improve the visibility of networks to match Meraki switches, which have good visibility tools to go through the network. In a Meraki device, you get a clear picture when using the bug interface. You can also see its neighbors and have a clear picture of all connected devices. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches do not have such features that Meraki switches provide."
"We've had issues with the power supply. I've had to change the power supply twice. I'm not sure what the issue is. We're still trying to work out why we're having problems with the switches and the cutting of the power supply. The solution should look into this to see if there is something wrong with the product."
"It is not as stable as required."
"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."
"We're never able to get help from technical support. We don't use them due to this."
"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."
"Everything was bought in a one-time buy as a capital investment, so there isn't any licensing."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The setup costs are reasonable, and there are no additional licensing fees beyond the initial purchase."
"The price is reasonable."
"The price could be improved."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is one of the most cost-effective solutions in the market"
"Ubiquiti switches are quite affordable and you don't have to pay extra for support."
"I feel that the price of this solution is definitely reasonable compared to all of the others."
