Ubiquiti UniFi Switches Reviews

We are a customer of Ubiquiti. The key for us is the switch. The edge with the core switch, servicing office environments. I believe we use the US-48 and US-24, with a 10 gig with the SFP+ port. We have about 200 deployments scheduled for the next few weeks, so I'd say in total we will have 200 to 300 people involved and we plan to increase usage. 

The ability to manage firmware revisions is probably the most valuable feature. 

The management console could be improved, It's very, very slow. In the next release, I'd like to see some amalgamation of the two different consoles. I believe it's difficult to manage both the WiFi on the edge switches in the same console. Some more SFP+ ports would also be helpful. They should also try lowering the price of cloud management, it's mostly about management. If you can manage it quickly, and it's a little more cost-effective to manage it in the cloud, that would be a big improvement. 

I've been using the product for six months. 

The stability so far has been very good. No downtime, no outages.

It's a scalable solution but the limit on the number of 10 gig ports was an issue.

Our technical support is carried out through a third party so I haven't had any experience with that. 

The company previously has another solution but I wasn't involved with that. I was responsible for the company switching to UniFi.

The setup was straightforward and deployment took about three weeks. We used a consultant for the process and were very satisfied. 

We haven't had to pay any licensing costs at all.

Something people need to look out for is the cost of cloud management. For us, that's been handled externally at the moment, so we're not actually paying for that directly. It's something people should consider with Ubiquiti.

I would rate this product an eight out of 10. 

I mainly use UniFi Switches to power access points and P2P devices. If I have a backhaul point-to-point wireless link, I forward them by using these switches because they have two voltages (24 and 48) that I can switch between according to my needs.

UniFi Switches' best feature is the ability to switch voltage from 24 to 48, and it's almost the only device on the market with this feature.

I've been using UniFi Switches for about six or seven years.

UniFi Switches are very stable.

UniFi Switches are scalable - you can extend your network easily since some switches have the fiber optic option, and you can extend your number of ports, making connections between fiber ports.

The initial setup is very easy and takes only a few minutes.

I installed UniFi Switches myself.

UniFi Switches are cost-effective compared to Cisco, but the price could be lower.

I would recommend UniFi Switches to other users and rate it nine out of ten.

Through my distributors, I'm an authorized reseller for Ubiquiti. 

I like the price point of this solution and it's very simple to use with a straightforward setup. 

The switches supply chain is a huge issue they need to improve. Secondly, Ubiquiti doesn't provide support unless you pay for it. Support is either via live chat or the forum and I think the support should be included in the cost. 

I've been working with this solution for 12 years. 

In principal, there is no support provided. You can pay extra to receive it. 

The initial setup is simple and works well. I can pull up my Untangle switch or my Untangle router in one screen, and then pull up my Ubiquiti stuff on another screen and work with both at the same time. 

I've done point to point setups, internet setups, and I've worked with Ubiquiti edge routers and edge switches including UniFi routers, UniFi switches and WAPs. I've worked with all aspects of Ubiquiti. They're a great product and they work well, it's just difficult to get hold of switches now with the chip shortage, but if you're going to be doing projects with a lot of clients who will use Ubiquiti switches, my recommendation is to buy a couple of extra switches and have them in stock.

I rate this product a nine out of 10. 

I have yet to explore the use cases. Of the eight or ten users with whom we set it up, I have not yet received feedback about the solution or whether it engenders problems. Perhaps this is something I should pursue, to satisfy myself that the solution is being utilized and to apprise myself of any issues.

The two most valuable features are the remote access user and the side-to-side connection.

I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet.

The problem on our end is that we did not have the contingency in our budget to accommodate the purchase of the solution.

Six months ago I explored the solution, at which point the decision was made to go with it.

As I said, I have yet to receive any feedback on the use of or potential problems with the solution. I still have people working from home, so the solution provides the sole means of access.

As such, I would rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches as a five out of ten.

We use this solution as a switch for networks.

Overall the solution functions very well.

I have been using this solution for two years.

The have found from my experience the solution is stable.

The initial installation is very quick.

We implement the solution for our customers.

The price of the solution is fair compared to others. However, it is expensive.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate Ubiquiti UniFi Switches a nine out of ten.

We primarily use the solution as a bridge to extend our LAN.

The solution is very good for expanding our LAN.

The product has proven itself to be stable.

The scalability is very good.

The installation itself is very easy.

I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high.

Given that it has a portal, which is online, if it can be accessed remotely that would be ideal. If they can add that feature or if there is that feature, they need to make it public.

I'd like there to be better reporting for the solution.

I've used the solution for a couple of years at this point.

The stability is very good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable in terms of the performance on offer.

The product is scalable. There are no issues if a company needs to expand it.

We have 30 people using Ubiquiti Switches in our organization.

We do plan to continue to use them.

I've never directly dealt with technical support. There hasn't been an issue that has required us to reach out. Therefore, I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are in general.

The installation process is pretty straightforward. it's not overly complex or difficult.

Our local supplier in Zimbabwe is the one who has been doing all these configurations for me, however, the implementation is not that difficult. You can just use a manual to configure it. It's not much of a hassle. It's more like a plug-and-play solution. I am also using the wifi distribution access point. They are not a challenge at all. It took me less than five minutes.

We have a local supplier that has done our configurations. However, at this point, I have acquired enough knowledge to be able to do it by myself.

For what I'm using Ubiquiti for, there hasn't been any need for licenses as it's more like a plug-and-play setup. I'm just using a portal, which is free as well. There hasn't been much cost involved in using the solution.

We are a customer and end-user. We don't have a business relationship with Ubiquiti.

I'm using the latest version of the solution at this time. I cannot speak to the exact version number.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten overall.

I would definitely recommend the product to other users and companies.

Our primary use case is an access switch.

The user interface makes it simple to configure and manage.

The access speeds are high.

This brand is not very popular in China.

We have been dealing with Ubiquiti UniFi Switches for two years.

This is a stable product and we plan to continue using it in the future.

Scalability is good. We have approximately 40 users.

Technical support is available but it is not provided by the manufacturer. It is provided by a third party.

We have used different products in the past, and the suitability of this one depends on the requirements.

The installation is very easy. It took approximately half an hour to deploy.

The time required for deployment will be based on the requirements and complexity of the environment, but our requirements are very simple.

The price of this product is cheap.

This is a product that I would recommend for small companies.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We primarily use this solution for the VPN and it has been successful for us.

Ubiquity UniFi is adequately doing what we need to do.

The most valuable feature for us is the VPN.

This solution is easy to use. 

I would like to see the security features improved.

It would be helpful to have better visibility into exactly what is going on in the network. In particular, I would like to have more control over the internal MAC addresses because I have none at the moment. Specifically - I see payloads with virtual MAC addresses - but the management software does not show these addresses in the statistics.

I have been working with Ubiquiti UniFi Switches for two years.

In terms of resilience, this solution seems to be okay. I just upgraded and it has been stable. We haven't had a failure in the 120 days that have passed since the previous upgrade.

It seems to me that there are problems with the performance of my current gateway. I currently have a 500-megabit symmetrical link and I think that I'm at the limit of what it can handle.

We have fifteen users and we don't plan on increasing usage at the moment.

I have only used technical support on one occasion and it seemed to be okay.

Prior to UniFi, we used a homegrown Unix environment. I upgraded it to use the UniFy because it seemed to be straightforward. I put in a 48-port power-over-ethernet switch that has the flexibility to handle VOIP and the other services that we need.

The initial setup was reasonably straightforward. I currently use the management console bound to a server, rather than use the cloud key. I did purchase one but it's now obsolete because I use services that it doesn't support.

I feel that the price of this solution is definitely reasonable compared to all of the others. Once you buy the equipment, there are no additional fees.

I am exploring the possibility of using our Ubiquiti switch as an external gateway but I'm not sure whether I want a gateway in the cloud, or what kind of gateway exactly, so this is something to be decided later.

My advice to anybody who is considering this solution is that you really need to look at the risk profile. Also, I don't think that it is necessarily scalable because I think that I'm on the edge of the limit of what we can use it for. However, there may be something else coming that will assist with this.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
