The 2nd generation unifi switches are out of hardware beta.
New features include quieter cooling, 4 x SFP+ ports on the 48 model, redundant power supplies with an extra 1U device (ew...). Nice update but one of the top comments says it well I think.
They're OK but not great.
Disappointing that they don't hit redundant hot-swap PSU baseline. They could have at least done a pair of 40G interfaces on the back for stacking. The PoE budget is very very low across all models. The power redundancy model is bad and something most vendors threw out 10 years ago.
For the price point you're really better off going with Cisco 2960-L if we're being honest.
Sure you get UniFi for management but I would have expected to see a lot more functionality through UniFi by now. Centralized management doesn't turn this into an Enterprise-grade switch. Where are the L2 features and improved UI for switch management? Not really seeing a great value at the price point. Nobody cares about the touchscreen.
