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 ePoE+ is great."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"These switches are very simple to use and the GUI is very nice."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
"The solution is very reliable and stable."
"We primarily use this solution for the VPN and it has been successful for us."
"Ubiquiti's network management and the way you can manage many different devices on a network are really nice."
"The ability to manage firmware revisions."
"The most valuable feature of UniFi Switches is the simple management via the UniFi console."
"The interface and the duality are the solution's most valuable features."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Some of the features needed to set up the solution are too complex. There's a lot of technical information that is required."
"Ubiquiti tends to end-of-life things faster than other companies do. Cisco tends to be in the 8-, 10-, 12-year time frame, and Ubiquiti tends to be in the 4- or 5-year time frame."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"If Ubiquiti UniFi Switches had some live support instead of community support, that would go a long way."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
"There is currently an issue with supply of switches which needs to be sorted out."
"Firmware stability and accurate documentation regarding advanced networking."
"We need to upgrade everything too often."
 

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."
"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."
"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 is very reasonable."
"It's around $179 a device."
"Ubiquiti switches are quite affordable and you don't have to pay extra for support."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are more expensive than other competitors."
"Apart from the basic licensing costs, there are no additional charges attached to the product."
