Where to buy Ubiquiti in Italy
-
@Mike-Davis billing address and shipping address are completely not related
-
Right, so if you're doing airbnb or something, why not ship it to the home owners name?

Delivery services would be OK. But the local postal service and probably not deliver assuming the owner intentionally has mail forwarded elsewhere.

So I found out today that this was a very silly question to ask. There is a Ubiquiti store on my block, five minutes on foot from the house!

I could have swore someone asked where in Italy it could be purchased

Oops - just realized you already found a supplier.
-
@scottalanmiller wow! it is not so easy in my area! BTW is Ubiquiti good stuff? how it is comparable to dlink, hp ? where is it positioned?
-
@matteo-nunziati Ubiquiti is great for IT professionals. It is not meant for home users that are not IT Pros.
-
@Mike-Davis I was thinking about my company, here everyone sells aruba+hpe or dell stuff...
then you have "lower level" resellers, those who server smaller companies, and they go all dlink. -
@matteo-nunziati So imagine the price of Dlink with the reliability of the more expensive gear. The only downside is the support. They don't have a call center where you can call in with issues and have someone walk you through your issue. For most of us the money you save makes it worth it.

That won't work, I guarantee. You try Googling Ubiquiti in Noto.

Somewhere above Cisco and below Juniper
In all seriousness, I don't consider Cisco on par, but they are very different. Cisco you get amazing support of questionable gear. Ubiquiti you get acceptable community or email support of amazing, low cost gear that you can always have two of for 1/10th the price of a single Cisco. So in the big picture, it's so much more reliable based on price because of how you can afford to deploy it.
It is basically the only gear we use anymore, anywhere until we are talking 10GigE switches or faster or special use case stuff. UBNT isn't going after enterprise shops yet, so they lack offerings for that space. But for the space that they play in - SMB, ROBO, carrier... by many definitions they might be the best in the business (because of the way that pricing works.)

Ubiquiti makes a point of talking about crushing Cisco. They don't even discuss players like DLink. DLink isn't considered a business product really, or at best a home product attempting to see a few business products. I have never heard of a business using them, ever. I know D-Link tries to advertise to business, but it's a silly space.
Ubiquiti is very solidly hitting at the enterprise players, but focused on the medium space.

Now you know
we have 2 dlinks. I've found them in place and both are bugged. One even loose config (all: ip, vlan, everything!) in case of power failure. The other isn't able to encapsulate printers packets. don't ask me why. I've had to plug a 10€ spare dlink 5port switch to encapsulate a number of printers.btw, we also have 2 netgear and 1 used hp procurve 3400 cl. for the sake of completeness I was going to by a linksys too... just to have them all
On the opposite everyone in the supply chain who wants to talk about "reliable" stuff offers dell/hpe-aruba now in my area. Cisco is too much expensive, often. And with Cisco if you go SMB you get really bad stuff.
-
@matteo-nunziati Netgear ProSafe is actually quite good. Not at all in the category with the ones that you list. I know labs in NYC that use it because it crushes Cisco in performance (latency) for their SANs.

No, no... when we talk about Ubiquiti and Cisco, we are only talking about Cisco's enterprise stuff.
