"The product is stable."
"The interface is very straightforward."
"The single pane of glass that helps us manage everything through FortiManager is the most important feature."
"The most valuable feature is the port analytics."
"SD-WAN and the security fabric are essential features of the product."
"All the features are necessary, like tracking evidence and IPS. However, I appreciate the ability to connect the logs and the dashboard functionality."
"The product's most valuable feature is its ability to manage switches from one central point."
"The ability to manage firmware revisions."
"Ubiquiti's network management and the way you can manage many different devices on a network are really nice."
"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 solution's most valuable feature is its reliability."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are stable and support Layer 3. They come with a user-friendly interface. If you're not familiar with the command-line interface or you wouldn't like to configure it by using the command line, they have a user-friendly interface that you can use. They also have good documentation about how to use these switches."
"Ubiquiti is one step above the consumer level. They cost a little bit more, but they just seem to be drop-dead reliable, and they're keeping up with the latest standards."
"The interface and the duality are the solution's most valuable features."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"Does not have as many features as other solutions, such as segmentation and analytics engines."
"The solution could always benefit from more security. It's of critical importance to organizations right now."
"The product must improve the latency in the management center."
"The solution’s pricing could be improved."
"The UI of the firewall and reporting could be improved."
"Cisco is better in terms of price, scalability, and ease of management. Regarding resources, they are available in Pakistan to manage these systems."
"FortiSwitch should improve the FortiGate map. The diagram cannot move automatically to show the switch. The map does not map the physical location. It cannot move or touch the diagram."
"They could improve availability and security by detecting and preventing switch attacks."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches’s pricing could be less expensive."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"If Ubiquiti UniFi Switches had some live support instead of community support, that would go a long way."
"The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills."
"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 documentation for command lines needs to be improved."
"The support is pretty much email-based and that's horrible for an enterprise product. I can't call anybody right away."
"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."
