We performed a comparison between HPE Ethernet Switches and Ubiquiti UniFi Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's fairly lightweight, they don't require a lot of maintenance."
"The solution is very stable and easy to use."
"We can easily replace components without incurring significant costs in an error or failure."
"The initial setup is straightforward. The steps are simple, and you can always contact support if needed. Overall, it's easy."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its stability."
"I like that these switches are reliable, and the support is good."
"The simplicity of the commands is most valuable. The commands are the same for several devices."
"The graphical userface is very good and quite easy to run with."
"Managing the switches, such as the main server router, is straightforward. If you use UniFi, it’s easy because everything is integrated into the product. You can discover and manage any connected device with just one piece of equipment, like the UniFi controller. This applies to both the wireless LAN and the wired LAN. UniFi products are simple to manage and help maintain a good network profile."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"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."
"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."
"The GUI interface is very easy to use and the Linux-based command-line interface is also good."
"The product is seamless and robust."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is that once you buy them, you own them."
"It is very easy to deploy. The deployment time for a single device is a near instant."
"They should have more control tools for controlling the bandwidth."
"Sometimes, we encounter the need for new technologies, especially when we require higher bandwidth. If we can't find what we need with HPE Ethernet Switches, we explore options from other vendors like Cisco."
"We would always be happier if the price were reduced."
"VLAN can be improved, but I have to check that with the company expert. I have different switch models, but they don't have all the same interface. I don't know whether lower-level switches don't have the same interface as the better quality ones. I might have two different model types."
"If there is any fluctuation in power then we will face an outage with our POE switches, so this is something that should be improved."
"The scalability is limited."
"The ability to stack, as well as a unified operating system, would be extremely beneficial."
"Technical support needs improvement, as the response time could be better."
"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."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches need to add DNS lookup features."
"It would be helpful to have better visibility into exactly what is going on in the network."
"It's difficult to manage the WiFi on the edge switches in the same console."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation because it is quite poor."
"The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills."
"The management of this product needs to be improved."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
