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."The solution is easy to set up and easy to use, unlike, for example, Cisco, which is more complex."
"HPE is very reliable because it has a lifetime warranty, so the switches didn't give us any problems."
"The switches are very important in our hospitals, which is a critical environment for our patients. They provide time-effective management and meet our needs."
"It's fairly lightweight, they don't require a lot of maintenance."
"It is a stable product."
"A very robust solution."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"The main features of the solution I have found to be the interface and unique features other solutions do not have. Additionally, they have a lifetime warranty on the hardware."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
"I like the control one has with this solution."
"The ability to manage firmware revisions."
"The ability to deploy quickly and then having one central location for all the settings are its most valuable aspects."
"The solution’s scalability is good."
"It offers very good control."
"The integration with the controller is one of the most valuable features of these switches. They are also very stable. For example, we have some equipment that we haven't touched for four years that is still reliable."
"This product is very reasonably priced."
"There could be features for ransomware attack detection and enhanced anomaly detection to identify and mitigate anonymous traffic."
"The quality of the service needs improvement."
"The solution would be easier to set up if its GUI could improve or if it had a wizard."
"Some users might look for high-speed switching like Cisco or Nexus switches, which can handle larger volumes. HPE's current offerings aren't as robust in that area, but they could improve."
"There is a limitation of capability."
"The solution lacks certain protocols and has a limited warranty."
"I would like to see more updates for the solution."
"This solution needs to support software-defined networking."
"There is currently an issue with supply of switches which needs to be sorted out."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
"One of the downsides of the solution stems from the limited warranty that it offers to users."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"In the next release, it would be beneficial to include a face recognition feature for door access control to enhance security and user convenience."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches can improve by putting more effort into security. There are not many options in security. Other solutions, you can filter, do access control, and functionality. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches provides all the basic network security where it's all about the password for someone to access the SSID on the network, but it doesn't go beyond advanced network features of packet filtering, monitoring, and managing users."
"I think they need to provide a better firewall solution."
"It would be beneficial for us if Ubiquiti had a team of advanced data transportation specialists that we could get feedback from. We are not experts in data transportation, so having this sort of resource would be helpful for us."
