We performed a comparison between Cisco Linksys 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.
"Cisco's product is excellent and highly stable with decades of experience in switching and technology. It's a top-notch solution when your entire network operates within the Cisco ecosystem, allowing for a wide range of capabilities. However, the challenge with Cisco lies in its prioritization. When integrating with third-party solutions, like Juniper, it can be somewhat challenging, but it still performs reasonably well. Setting up Cisco switches is not a straightforward process; it's complex and requires more than simply powering them on and figuring things out as you go. You need a solid understanding of switch and stack configuration because Cisco has its unique software features. Cisco excels in vendor lock-in, meaning that if you want to combine Cisco switches with non-Cisco functionality, it can be both time-consuming and costly. While Cisco offers the most extensive capabilities, it can also be less flexible and more challenging when you want to deviate from the Cisco ecosystem."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The stability of the program is excellent."
"The installation process is straightforward."
"I would recommend Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches to other organizations."
"Administration can be done using the web-based interface."
"It's stable and we never have to worry about it."
"Ability to expand connections."
"It is a high-quality product, and it won't let you down."
"I haven't found the cost of the solution to be too high."
"The ability to manage firmware revisions."
"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 user interface makes it simple to configure and manage."
"Great information on the graphical interface."
"The most valuable feature for us is the VPN."
"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."
"Cisco Linksys could be more secure. It could also add a controller to control all the devices, like the access points and so on."
"The manageability could be improved."
"Cisco offers a wide range of features, and in the enterprise and mid-segment market in Europe, we make use of most of them. Some features are essential for our operations, while others may go unused. The feature set provided by Cisco is comprehensive, and there's little more we could ask for. It would be a nice addition if, in the future, Cisco switches could incorporate artificial intelligence to provide proactive feedback and guidance instead of having to search for solutions ourselves. This development is likely to come with time, and we'll patiently await such enhanced functionality."
"Endpoints need to be improved."
"The product must be made cloud-based."
"Scalability-wise, this solution is not designed for small businesses."
"The simplicity of management could be improved so the object-based switch management is possible."
"Their price is quite high compared to their competitors."
"The routing capabilities of Layer 3 should be made easier to implement."
"The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills."
"We've had issues with the power supply. I've had to change the power supply twice. I'm not sure what the issue is. We're still trying to work out why we're having problems with the switches and the cutting of the power supply. The solution should look into this to see if there is something wrong with the product."
"The technical support for this solution could be improved."
"In terms of improvement, sometimes we have bugs."
"The initial deployment was a bit complex."
"The stability and installation could be improved."
"I think they need to provide a better firewall solution."
