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 this solution are its functionality."
"It is a very easy-to-use product."
"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."
"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 size, power consumption, and the vast amount of features."
"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."
"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 tool's most valuable feature is port security, which allows blocking/disabling ports. The ports also have PoE capability."
"It's been working fine, it's been stable, and there are no interruptions."
"It is great size-wise and the user interface is easy to use. You don't need to be a pro to use this solution."
"Ubiquiti's network management and the way you can manage many different devices on a network are really nice."
"The GUI interface is very easy to use and the Linux-based command-line interface is also good."
"I like the control one has with this solution."
"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."
"If you compare this solution with Cisco, utilization in Cisco is more popular and it is more friendly."
"The configuration is a bit different from Cisco, and therefore, for me at least, there's a bit of a learning curve."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see the pricing improved."
"The support is pretty much email-based and that's horrible for an enterprise product. I can't call anybody right away."
"Most configuration can be done on the GUI but sometimes you have to go under the hood and tweak on the CLI."
"I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."
"I'd like there to be better reporting for the solution."
"Ubiquiti UniFi Switches’s pricing could be less expensive."
"We need to upgrade everything too often."
"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."
