Ubiquiti UniFi Switches Primary Use Case
I use Ubiquiti UniFi Switches. I like the Ubiquiti PoE EdgeSwitches, but I have to use their switches in certain cases because I have 24-volt and 48-volt PoE. Ubiquiti runs 24-volt PoE in a lot of their radios. We use our switches to have programmable voltages. Our day-to-day use cases with Ubiquiti UniFi Switches is basically internal LAN switches for routing WiFi by normal LAN traffic and telephony. We also have to worry about load balancing, because of our telephony in cameras on the same networks.

We tend to use the solution when clients are not willing to spend money for Meraki or Aruba. We use them as switches.
The basic use case is going to be an office with as many as 100 users. I position them to have one access point cover 150 to 200 square feet or as much as 350 square feet - depending upon the height of the ceiling. It's usually in an office scenario. Whether circular or flat, they do really well facing down, which means you want to put them up top. If that's the use case, you put them on the ceiling.
If I have a situation where the clients don't want to put it on the ceiling, I'll use the Access Point Flex HD, which is circular and I can place that on a desk or on a shelf or someplace and hide it.

We primarily use the solution for access points. We want to improve the quality of the service by having devices on edge as well. We have all of the IPs converging on the switches and controlled by the controller. Sometimes we would notice quality issues. It may be due to the non-homogeneity of the networks, so we will aggregate the switches under Cisco.

All we have is WiFi extenders and ceiling signal extenders. They likely bear another name. I think they function extremely well.
We use internet signals for our TV almost daily and have TV all across the place. Behind the counter, we have a system.
We occasionally live-stream some of the events that take place here, therefore a reliable system is definitely required.
We use social media frequently, and a large number of people who come and go really use our wifi.

We are a solution provider and Ubiquiti UniFi switches are one of the products that we implement for our customers.
The use case for this solution depends on the size of the infrastructure. Normally, for smaller installations, we use the routing functionality because they are layer three switches. In larger organizations, we use it as a layer two switch and we use Compass routers to handle 10-gigabit bandwidth. We have one customer using this configuration who does 3D modeling and 3D printing, which requires a lot of bandwidth.

We are a customer of Ubiquiti. The key for us is the switch. The edge with the core switch, servicing office environments. I believe we use the US-48 and US-24, with a 10 gig with the SFP+ port. We have about 200 deployments scheduled for the next few weeks, so I'd say in total we will have 200 to 300 people involved and we plan to increase usage.
I use the solution for connecting Ubiquiti access points.

I mainly use UniFi Switches to power access points and P2P devices. If I have a backhaul point-to-point wireless link, I forward them by using these switches because they have two voltages (24 and 48) that I can switch between according to my needs.

I have yet to explore the use cases. Of the eight or ten users with whom we set it up, I have not yet received feedback about the solution or whether it engenders problems. Perhaps this is something I should pursue, to satisfy myself that the solution is being utilized and to apprise myself of any issues.
