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 solution is less expensive than other options."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"The product’s most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"The product's easy integration with other Ubiquiti devices is a huge advantage."
"The tool's most valuable feature is port security, which allows blocking/disabling ports. The ports also have PoE capability."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are stable and support Layer 3. They come with a user-friendly interface. If you're not familiar with the command-line interface or you wouldn't like to configure it by using the command line, they have a user-friendly interface that you can use. They also have good documentation about how to use these switches."
"For the world where you have to balance traffic and traffic loads and bandwidth, their GUI makes it really easy because the switches, though they are enterprise grade level two or level three switches, the GUI is designed so that it's easy to set up VLANs where you need to control your traffic so that your phones don't break up and get choppy because of other people loading the network down too heavily."
"Ubiquiti is one step above the consumer level. They cost a little bit more, but they just seem to be drop-dead reliable, and they're keeping up with the latest standards."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is that once you buy them, you own them."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
 

Cons

"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"The management of this product needs to be improved."
"They could integrate artificial intelligence for more advanced network traffic analysis and optimization features into the product."
"I do not have any notes for improvements."
"The support is pretty much email-based and that's horrible for an enterprise product. I can't call anybody right away."
"The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills."
"I face issues sometimes when two switches or APs are installed next to each other, leading to speed problems."
"UniFi lacks the granularity."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"The setup costs are reasonable, and there are no additional licensing fees beyond the initial purchase."
"With Ubiquiti UniFi Switches, you get what you pay for."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is one of the most cost-effective solutions in the market"
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The price is good, and it doesn't require additional licenses."
"The price could be improved."
"The price of this product is cheap."
"The price of the solution is fair compared to others. However, it is expensive."
