Cons
"I would like to see more collaboration with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) vendors, such as Itron.""The segment routing could be improved, and they could also transfer a lot of legacy to the cloud domain.""I would suggest improvements regarding enhancing support response times and implementing user interface modifications for quicker and more user-friendly interactions.""I would prefer that all the licenses be open for our use.""The solution needs more monitoring tools."

More Nokia Ethernet Service Switch Cons →

"It would be beneficial for us if Ubiquiti had a team of advanced data transportation specialists that we could get feedback from. We are not experts in data transportation, so having this sort of resource would be helpful for us.""The VPN technology in Ubiquiti products is really difficult for beginners who do not have the right skills.""It would be helpful to have better visibility into exactly what is going on in the network.""We need to upgrade everything too often.""The routing capabilities of Layer 3 should be made easier to implement.""The initial deployment was a bit complex.""It's difficult to manage the WiFi on the edge switches in the same console.""I would recommend changing the solution to a recognized one, such as Check Point or Fortinet."

    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."
