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

"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"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."
"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."
"Overall the solution functions very well."
"The user interface makes it simple to configure and manage."
"Great information on the graphical interface."
"I would gladly recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches."
"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 good for expanding our LAN, the product has proven itself to be stable, the scalability is very good, the installation itself is very easy, and I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches does everything I need it to do."
"The switches' PoE capabilities have made device deployment very easy."
 

Cons

"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"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."
"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."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is not a cheap solution."
"The biggest thing I found with Ubiquiti was that they started coming out with different product lines, and that's okay, but those products don't integrate well with their management platform."
"There is room for improvement in terms fo customer service and support."
"Some of the features needed to set up the solution are too complex. There's a lot of technical information that is required."
"Ubiquiti's technical support can be rated between seven and ten. They have a large customer base that sometimes faces issues due to a lack of know-how in managing the devices."
"The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills."
"The switches supply chain is a huge issue they need to improve."
"One area for improvement would be having a web interface directly on the device itself. That's the one thing that makes them more difficult for less experienced technicians to configure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"With Ubiquiti UniFi Switches, you get what you pay for."
"The solution only offers one-year warranties but should offer three-year or limited-loss warranties."
"The solution's pricing in the marketplace would probably be about three out of ten."
"Ubiquiti is much more affordable than enterprise brands."
"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."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are more expensive than other competitors."
"The setup costs are reasonable, and there are no additional licensing fees beyond the initial purchase."
"The price could be improved."
