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.
Donald Ochanda - PeerSpot reviewer
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 ePoE+ is great."
"The price of Ubiquiti is worth it because the integration of the switches is seamless. It's like they just talk to each other."
"This product is very reasonably priced."
"The most valuable feature of UniFi Switches is the simple management via the UniFi console."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"It is great size-wise and the user interface is easy to use. You don't need to be a pro to use this solution."
"The ability to manage firmware revisions."
"The best feature of Ubiquiti is the intuitive interface for managing day-to-day work."
"The GUI interface is very easy to use and the Linux-based command-line interface is also good."
 

Cons

"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"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."
"I would like to see improvements in their PBX-related features. The current setup is closed and does not allow for integration with non-Ubiquiti VoIP devices or providers outside their ecosystem."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation because it is quite poor."
"We have been having issues with non-homogeneity."
"I would like to see the pricing improved."
"Cisco switches had advantages over Ubiquiti UniFi Switches during my last interaction because Cisco had many more functionalities."
"There is room for improvement in terms fo customer service and support."
"New products don't integrate well with their management platform. Sometimes you have to go directly to the box or the switch to do the management."
"The pricing and scalability could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
"Ubiquiti is very reasonable."
"Everything was bought in a one-time buy as a capital investment, so there isn't any licensing."
"UniFi Switches are cost-effective compared to Cisco."
"It is expensive."
"It's around $179 a device."
"Ubiquiti is one of the cheapest WiFi network providers that provide a very good WiFi network, which is monitored and deployable. The price is very fair for the technology they're offering."
"There are no licensing fees; you just purchase it and run it."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are more expensive than other competitors."
