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."We have scaled it without any issues."
"It's stable and performing well."
"HPE Ethernet Switches have a lifetime warranty. I am using an old version of the solution, but I have heard the new models have incorporated a lot of new features, such as remote setup."
"I would rate the stability a solid ten out of ten."
"It is a scalable solution."
"I have found the most valuable feature is stability."
"The best feature of this solution is the lifetime warranty."
"The solution is very, very stable."
"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 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."
"I like the control one has with this solution."
"The solution’s scalability is good."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward."
"This product is very reasonably priced."
"The switches' PoE capabilities have made device deployment very easy."
"There is room for improvement in the update process, especially the web UI update process."
"I would like to see the initial setup become easier."
"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."
"I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass.""
"Sometimes, we encounter the need for new technologies, especially when we require higher bandwidth. If we can't find what we need with HPE Ethernet Switches, we explore options from other vendors like Cisco."
"The technical support does not match up to the standard of Cisco."
"If there is any fluctuation in power then we will face an outage with our POE switches, so this is something that should be improved."
"The ability to stack, as well as a unified operating system, would be extremely beneficial."
"The solution needs to improve its documentation because it is quite poor."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"The price could be lower."
"We need to upgrade everything too often."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
"I'd like there to be better reporting for the solution."
"The product needs to improve its pricing."
"Ubiquiti tends to end-of-life things faster than other companies do. Cisco tends to be in the 8-, 10-, 12-year time frame, and Ubiquiti tends to be in the 4- or 5-year time frame."
