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 solution is less expensive than other options."
"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 ePoE+ is great."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"It offers very good control."
"The two most valuable features are the remote access user and the side-to-side connection."
"The Ubiquiti is a rock and that's why we use them."
"I would gladly recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches."
"Good price point and very simple to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"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."
 

Cons

"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"If Ubiquiti UniFi Switches had some live support instead of community support, that would go a long way."
"To use Ubiquiti UniFi Switches, a controller needs to be installed on a device."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches need to add DNS lookup features."
"The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills."
"The routing capabilities of Layer 3 should be made easier to implement."
"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."
"I'd like there to be better reporting for the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"It's challenging to compare Ubiquiti UniFi Switches and other brands directly due to the significant price difference, especially between US brands like Cisco and Aruba versus others. However, compared to US brands, Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are more cost-effective. On the other hand, if compared with brands from China, it might seem expensive."
"The setup costs are reasonable, and there are no additional licensing fees beyond the initial purchase."
"Ubiquiti switches are quite affordable and you don't have to pay extra for support."
"Ubiquiti is very reasonable."
"The price of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is really good. We have deployed a few Ubiquiti UniFi Switches in New Zealand, and they are a value for money. They are cheaper and stable, but if you have the budget, I would recommend Meraki switches."
"With Ubiquiti UniFi Switches, you get what you pay for."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are more expensive than other competitors."
"The price should be improved."
