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 most valuable feature in HPE Ethernet Switches is programmability and analytics."
"I'm a power user, so reliability is crucial. The HPE equipment hasn't failed on me, unlike some other brands like Huawei, which I find more sensitive."
"We have scaled it without any issues."
"A very robust solution."
"It's stable and performing well."
"The solution performs well for its price."
"We can easily replace components without incurring significant costs in an error or failure."
"The solution is scalable."
"For the world where you have to balance traffic and traffic loads and bandwidth, their GUI makes it really easy because the switches, though they are enterprise grade level two or level three switches, the GUI is designed so that it's easy to set up VLANs where you need to control your traffic so that your phones don't break up and get choppy because of other people loading the network down too heavily."
"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 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."
"The solution is very reliable and stable."
"Good price point and very simple to use."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is a stable solution."
"The cost could be better. HPE has to study it carefully with other vendors in the market, like Cisco or Juniper."
"The solution lacks certain protocols and has a limited warranty."
"The pricing could be better."
"There is a limitation of capability."
"The solution’s licensing could be improved."
"The scalability is limited."
"I would like to see more updates for the solution."
"VLAN can be improved, but I have to check that with the company expert. I have different switch models, but they don't have all the same interface. I don't know whether lower-level switches don't have the same interface as the better quality ones. I might have two different model types."
"We have been having issues with non-homogeneity."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is not a cheap solution."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
"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."
"I'd like there to be better reporting for the solution."
"The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills."
"They can improve the visibility of networks to match Meraki switches, which have good visibility tools to go through the network. In a Meraki device, you get a clear picture when using the bug interface. You can also see its neighbors and have a clear picture of all connected devices. Ubiquiti UniFi Switches do not have such features that Meraki switches provide."
