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."Enables direct access to clusters."
"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."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"We have integrated the tool for PoE switches and non-PoE switches. Its most valuable feature is SD-WAN. UniFi SD-WAN can access all statistics and performance data in one interface, enabling us to support clients across different locations remotely. Additionally, we can even restart devices remotely through the UniFi SD-WAN."
"I can see which ports are connected and which ones are disconnected."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"The product is seamless and robust."
"The tool's most valuable feature is port security, which allows blocking/disabling ports. The ports also have PoE capability."
"Overall the solution functions very well."
"The solution is very reliable and stable."
"The GUI interface is very easy to use and the Linux-based command-line interface is also good."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"The network connection should be improved."
"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."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"There is room for improvement in terms fo customer service and support."
"The documentation for command lines needs to be improved."
"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."
"One of the downsides of the solution stems from the limited warranty that it offers to users."
"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."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"We need to upgrade everything too often."
"The product needs to improve its pricing."
