"The product is seamless and robust."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"The product’s most valuable features are stability and scalability."
"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."
"I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"The solution is very reliable and stable."
"The interface and the duality are the solution's most valuable features."

"Managing the VLANs is an area where the solution lacks and needs to improve."
"Before using FortiSwitch, you need several certifications."
"When there are many switches being used, the speed declines noticeably."
"Fortinet FortiSwitch - Data Center needs to improve its UI and stability."
"The solution could always benefit from more security. It's of critical importance to organizations right now."
"The routing capabilities of Layer 3 should be made easier to implement."
"We've had issues with the power supply. I've had to change the power supply twice. I'm not sure what the issue is. We're still trying to work out why we're having problems with the switches and the cutting of the power supply. The solution should look into this to see if there is something wrong with the product."
"It would be helpful to have better visibility into exactly what is going on in the network."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
