We performed a comparison between Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 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."It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
"The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything."
"We are able to customize this solution based on the customer's requirements."
"The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional."
"Enables direct access to clusters."
"The fibre ports that are 10 Gb capacity helped with the travel of a lot of regular as well as video data. Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper."
"This is a dependable switch which will help you sleep at night."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches' best features are it's easy to deploy, manage, and maintain, with services coming through one vendor."
"It is a high-quality product, and it won't let you down."
"For the world where you have to balance traffic and traffic loads and bandwidth, their GUI makes it really easy because the switches, though they are enterprise grade level two or level three switches, the GUI is designed so that it's easy to set up VLANs where you need to control your traffic so that your phones don't break up and get choppy because of other people loading the network down too heavily."
"It offers very good control."
"The performance is good. They also have good prices."
"UniFi Switches' best feature is the ability to switch voltage from 24 to 48, and it's almost the only device on the market with this feature."
"The ability to deploy quickly and then having one central location for all the settings are its most valuable aspects."
"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."
"There needs to be better integration with the interface."
"In future versions, I would like to see improvements in networking speed."
"The product would be better if it were completely compatible with other switching products."
"I find the CLI hard to use. I wish we could do more in the GUI interface."
"The network connection should be improved."
"technical support response time is sometimes very slow."
"OmniSwitch Ethernet Switches would be improved if cloud-based technology was provided in the Gulf region."
"I could see them possibly creating a more intuitive software. It's very user-friendly, but there are some things that aren't very intuitive when programming the switches."
"We need to upgrade everything too often."
"I had some initial problems with the configuration that necessitated contacting technical support."
"New products don't integrate well with their management platform. Sometimes you have to go directly to the box or the switch to do the management."
"I think they need to provide a better firewall solution."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"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."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is not a cheap solution."
