We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 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."The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"The product is stable. It does have only one power supply. They don't have a redundant power supply."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is a stable solution."
"The interface and the duality are the solution's most valuable features."
"This product is very reasonably priced."
"The two most valuable features are the remote access user and the side-to-side connection."
"The solution’s scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is the graphic user interface for monitoring, where you can see the status of the device in real-time. I use those features across the campus. I use the APs as my beacons to tell me whether the area of the school of the network is down or not. Those will be the first to alert me that there is a problem with the network or a device. They provide me with more than only monitoring themselves, I use them in order to monitor all the devices."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"The network connection should be improved."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"There is currently an issue with supply of switches which needs to be sorted out."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
"I would like to see the pricing improved."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
"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 routing capabilities of Layer 3 should be made easier to implement."
"One of the downsides of the solution stems from the limited warranty that it offers to users."
