We performed a comparison between Mellanox 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."The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the powerful hardware and the software is open. They're using Linux operating system. You can do and install many things, and it performs well."
"From what I've been told, a valuable feature of Mellanox switches is they're quite user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its functionality."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the size, power consumption, and the vast amount of features."
"It is a very easy-to-use product."
"The tool is very configurable because it runs on a Linux operating system."
"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."
"It is a high-quality product, and it won't let you down."
"I would gladly recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches."
"The solution’s scalability is good."
"It's been working fine, it's been stable, and there are no interruptions."
"The tool's most valuable feature is port security, which allows blocking/disabling ports. The ports also have PoE capability."
"These switches are very simple to use and the GUI is very nice."
"I like the control one has with this solution."
"Mellanox Switches could improve by adding some features that can make it easier for integrating the switches in some managing and monitoring platforms, such as Elastic or similar software for monitoring data with the data center in a more holistic way."
"The scalability is working fine at the moment, but there's always room for improvement. As of right now, I don't know of any improvements to suggest."
"The configuration is a bit different from Cisco, and therefore, for me at least, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"Mellanox Switches were easier before Nvidia bought Mellanox and then their new version of the operating system changed. They started with Ennui, and now they only use Linux. If they returned to their previous CLI it would be a good option for starters. The new CLI is more difficult to use but more powerful than the older one. It has its advantages."
"If you compare this solution with Cisco, utilization in Cisco is more popular and it is more friendly."
"The price could be lower."
"The support is pretty much email-based and that's horrible for an enterprise product. I can't call anybody right away."

"Some of the features needed to set up the solution are too complex. There's a lot of technical information that is required."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
"I would like to see the pricing improved."
"I had some initial problems with the configuration that necessitated contacting technical support."
