Pros
"This solution is very reliable and works well under harsh environmental circumstances.""The initial setup was straightforward. I installed it myself."

More Avaya Ethernet Switches [EOL] Pros →

"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is a stable solution.""Because it's a managed switch, I have the ability to set controls and configure traffic priorities, VLAN ports, etc.""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.""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.""The product's initial setup phase is very straightforward.""The solution’s scalability is good.""Ubiquiti UniFi Switches are stable and support Layer 3. They come with a user-friendly interface. If you're not familiar with the command-line interface or you wouldn't like to configure it by using the command line, they have a user-friendly interface that you can use. They also have good documentation about how to use these switches.""The ability to deploy quickly and then having one central location for all the settings are its most valuable aspects."

Cons
"The CLI syntax for this solution is different from other switches such as Cisco and Juniper, and it takes us a long time to integrate a new device and get it working properly.""I think there is a need for more support of new generation technologies."

More Avaya Ethernet Switches [EOL] Cons →

"The technical support for this solution could be improved.""The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills.""If Ubiquiti UniFi Switches had some live support instead of community support, that would go a long way.""It's difficult to manage the WiFi on the edge switches in the same console.""We need to upgrade everything too often.""Ubiquiti UniFi Switches need to add DNS lookup features.""The routing capabilities of Layer 3 should be made easier to implement.""One of the downsides of the solution stems from the limited warranty that it offers to users."

    Reviews from Real Users

    A PeerSpot user who is a Director of Technical Operations/CTO at a consultancy says "The ability to deploy quickly and then having one central location for all the settings are its most valuable aspects."

    "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," says Doru I., Senior solutions architect at Aplix Technologies

    Murali S., Management Consultant at a consultancy, explains that “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."
