I really HATE it when the hosts endorse a product for personal use. I would never use Ubiquiti outside of Small Business(below 100 employees). Because this is a “heavy networking podcast” and now I have to fend off requests for Ubiquiti gear from junior admins. With management wanting the lowest possible cost and not understanding the requirements of large networks this drives me up the wall.
Getting my Monday morning analog ready for management.
At home, I drive a Tacoma but I would never haul 200 tons of oil across the country with it.
Shark Lasers, I don’t remember exactly what I said as I’ve done many hours of recordings in the last few weeks, so context escapes me. But I’ll echo your sentiments. I’m with you. Ubiquiti is, in my opinion, for prosumer or SMB use cases. Not enterprises of any significant size. I personally picked up some Ubiquiti kit recently as a prosumer for a home. The interface is lovely. It makes my personal life easier. However, Ubiquiti would not be on my shopping list for most enterprises. That’s just not what the product is for. I’d be considering Aruba, Juniper Mist, Cisco and others for serious enterprise deployments. If you get a bunch of folks asking you for Ubiquiti because of whatever I said, point them here. Maybe that will help.
