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."We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"The product is stable. It does have only one power supply. They don't have a redundant power supply."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"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."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"It's very easy to deploy – much easier than MikroTik. It's very seamless and well-designed."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
"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."
"I would gladly recommend Ubiquiti UniFi Switches."
"The central management is provided by the UniFi management system. You can manage everything from a single interface. The SDN mode that the entire unified system uses is a software-defined network format."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is that once you buy them, you own them."
"The solution’s scalability is good."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"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."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"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."
"The network connection should be improved."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
"It would be nice if there was a way to label all of the ports on it so that I could include information about where the various connections go."
"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."
"The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation because it is quite poor."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
"The management of this product needs to be improved."
