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

"The ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The GUI interface is very easy to use and the Linux-based command-line interface is also good."
"Overall the solution functions very well."
"It offers very good control."
"The integration with the controller is one of the most valuable features of these switches. They are also very stable. For example, we have some equipment that we haven't touched for four years that is still reliable."
"I can see which ports are connected and which ones are disconnected."
"I like the control one has with this solution."
"I would gladly recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches."
"Ubiquiti's network management and the way you can manage many different devices on a network are really nice."
 

Cons

"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."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches can improve by putting more effort into security. There are not many options in security. Other solutions, you can filter, do access control, and functionality. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches provides all the basic network security where it's all about the password for someone to access the SSID on the network, but it doesn't go beyond advanced network features of packet filtering, monitoring, and managing users."
"I had some initial problems with the configuration that necessitated contacting technical support."
"I would like to see the pricing improved."
"The price could be lower."
"I think they need to provide a better firewall solution."
"I face issues sometimes when two switches or APs are installed next to each other, leading to speed problems."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"I feel that the price of this solution is definitely reasonable compared to all of the others."
"Apart from the basic licensing costs, there are no additional charges attached to the product."
"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."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are more expensive than other competitors."
"It is expensive."
"It's around $179 a device."
"The solution only offers one-year warranties but should offer three-year or limited-loss warranties."
