Besides a few hq type building, my company is 99% retail stores with less than 15 people. The unique need is that each of those individual cost centers pays for their own stuff, so they're incredibly cost conscious.
We manage router and up (Meraki) but were looking at getting into the managing switches game, so we can better support the field. Meraki switches are astronomically expensive compared to whats out there, so I want to see what alternatives are out there. These don't need to be best of breed, but reliability and cost are the big things. Ubiquiti's switches look nice, and the prices are good. I'm aware of the non-existent support, and am OK with that for the most part. How is the management of them? Are there any other guys out there that compete in the low-cost-but-decent-switch game? We have some Cisco SFs out there, and they seem decent. JUst trying to get an idea of what the low-end switch landscape looks like right now.
