The ability to deploy quickly and then having one central location for all the settings are its most valuable aspects.

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.

These switches are very simple to use and the GUI is very nice.

The value here with using the Ubiquiti products across the board is that they're almost all single-pane management and the single-pane management is included. It's a huge benefit.

Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc.

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.

It is very easy to deploy. The deployment time for a single device is a near instant.

Ubiquiti's network management and the way you can manage many different devices on a network are really nice.

Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI.

The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills.

The support is pretty much email-based and that's horrible for an enterprise product. I can't call anybody right away.

It would be nice if there was a way to label all of the ports on it so that I could include information about where the various connections go.

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.

One of the downsides of the solution stems from the limited warranty that it offers to users.

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.

I would like to see the pricing improved.

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.
