We performed a comparison between Mellanox 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 features of Mellanox Switches are the size, power consumption, and the vast amount of features."
"The tool is very configurable because it runs on a Linux operating system."
"From what I've been told, a valuable feature of Mellanox switches is they're quite user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Mellanox Switches are the powerful hardware and the software is open. They're using Linux operating system. You can do and install many things, and it performs well."
"It is a very easy-to-use product."
"The most valuable features of this solution are its functionality."
"Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc."
"These switches are very simple to use and the GUI is very nice."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is the graphic user interface for monitoring, where you can see the status of the device in real-time. I use those features across the campus. I use the APs as my beacons to tell me whether the area of the school of the network is down or not. Those will be the first to alert me that there is a problem with the network or a device. They provide me with more than only monitoring themselves, I use them in order to monitor all the devices."
"It's very easy to deploy – much easier than MikroTik. It's very seamless and well-designed."
"The interface and the duality are the solution's most valuable features."
"Ubiquiti's network management and the way you can manage many different devices on a network are really nice."
"Overall the solution functions very well."
"The solution’s scalability is good."
"The scalability is working fine at the moment, but there's always room for improvement. As of right now, I don't know of any improvements to suggest."
"The configuration is a bit different from Cisco, and therefore, for me at least, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"If you compare this solution with Cisco, utilization in Cisco is more popular and it is more friendly."
"Mellanox Switches could improve by adding some features that can make it easier for integrating the switches in some managing and monitoring platforms, such as Elastic or similar software for monitoring data with the data center in a more holistic way."
"Mellanox Switches were easier before Nvidia bought Mellanox and then their new version of the operating system changed. They started with Ennui, and now they only use Linux. If they returned to their previous CLI it would be a good option for starters. The new CLI is more difficult to use but more powerful than the older one. It has its advantages."
"Functionalities can change quite quickly without notice."
"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."
"The routing capabilities of Layer 3 should be made easier to implement."
"In the next release, it would be beneficial to include a face recognition feature for door access control to enhance security and user convenience."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
"The product needs to improve its pricing."
"We have been having issues with non-homogeneity."
