Ubiquiti Unifi offers a great set of features. For starters, it is easy to configure and implement, and also doesn’t require a learning curve because it is easy to use. It is also simple to reconfigure an AP or gateway quickly if needed. Ubiquiti provides mesh networking with seamlessly traversed APs that have no noticeable issues. I especially like that Unifi has a mobile app, making it easy for me to check on my sites, but also to configure APs individually. The Ubiquiti Unifi price point is also fair. One disadvantage of the Ubiquiti Unifi switches is its AP provisioning; if you need to make any changes, the AP has to go offline, which can interrupt business operations and be very disruptive. Also, the metrics can be a little challenging to understand even though they are easy to find.
NetGear switches are different from Ubiquiti Unifi switches. They have high availability, zero-downtime stacking, L2 and L3 functionality, and are AV-over-IP ready. NetGear switches also have a command line interface and web-based remote management (GUI). It includes up to 100G speed, PoE with budget options, IGMP & Multicast, advanced security (including ACLs, Auto Denial of Service, and LACP). In my opinion, NetGear is energy efficient, and the fact that they offer 24/7 support is very valuable to me. They also offer a lifetime warranty, which gives me peace of mind. NetGear switches are scalable and are easily sourced. They are also simple to manage.
Conclusion: While Ubiquiti Unifi and Netgear switches each have their unique strengths, I have to side with Ubiquiti Unifi because having a mobile app makes a tremendous difference for me. I also chose Ubiquiti Unifi because it is easy to work with, easy to adjust and tweak signal strength, channels, bands, etc. so that I can meet member experience expectations.
