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 of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"The technical support is good."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The integration with the controller is one of the most valuable features of these switches. They are also very stable. For example, we have some equipment that we haven't touched for four years that is still reliable."
"The value here with using the Ubiquiti products across the board is that they're almost all single-pane management and the single-pane management is included. It's a huge benefit."
"Good price point and very simple to use."
"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 switches' PoE capabilities have made device deployment very easy."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is that once you buy them, you own them."
"Great information on the graphical interface."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"No graphical interface."
"There are some performance issues."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"This brand is not very popular in China."
"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."
"We have been having issues with non-homogeneity."
"The support is pretty much email-based and that's horrible for an enterprise product. I can't call anybody right away."
"UniFi lacks the granularity."
"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 solution needs to improve its documentation because it is quite poor."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches’s pricing could be less expensive."
