We performed a comparison between Aruba Switches and Ubiquiti UniFi Switches based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Both solutions provide quality, durable switches. Aruba Switches is the go-to solution for many PeerSpot users. The Aruba Central Platform provides complete visibility and gives users greater control regarding applications, protocols, and VLANs. The solution provides great open architecture. The high number of available throughputs and the solution's flexibility to allow different speeds of ethernet cards and fiber-optic SFPs help make Aruba Switches the preferred solution.
"They provide great service in terms of replacing malfunctioning switches."
"We didn't experience any stability or scalability issues until now with Aruba Switches"
"Aruba Switches are always innovating to bring new solutions to the market."
"Aruba access points have a good transfer rate."
"Licensing costs are competitive with other solutions on the market."
"I like how Aruba switches integrate with On."
"I like the number of available throughputs and its ability to have different speeds of ethernet cards or fiber-optic SFPs. It's a core switch, and you can configure it as per your requirements. All the configuration details are well documented on the HP website or Aruba website, and one can easily refer to those and find all the relevant commands from the documentation itself. It's also easy to maintain this solution. It's also cheaper than competing products."
"a value-for-money product and comparatively a very reasonable price compared to competitors like SAP or IBM."
"It is great size-wise and the user interface is easy to use. You don't need to be a pro to use this solution."
"These switches are very simple to use and the GUI is very nice."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
"The solution’s scalability is good."
"I like the control one has with this solution."
"Overall the solution functions very well."
"The product’s most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"The delivery time for this product is slow and is something that needs to be improved."
"The log viewer should be improved."
"It's a little less convenient for more simplified management needs."
"I think that the performance is getting better but they need to have more powerful switches on the market so that they can capture medium and large businesses."
"If we compare Aruba and Cisco at the data center layer, Cisco has its Nexus switch. Aruba provides the new 10000 series, but it does not compare with the Nexus switch."
"We have had problems with the cooling fans on these switches."
"The biggest issue right now is the delivery timeline. It takes too long to get the product."
"They have limited CLI options in the UI and this is something that needs improvement."
"If Ubiquiti UniFi Switches had some live support instead of community support, that would go a long way."
"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."
"Some of the features needed to set up the solution are too complex. There's a lot of technical information that is required."
"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."
"UniFi lacks the granularity."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation because it is quite poor."
