Anyone have a handy cost comparison chart for the two types of switches?
Assume POE is off the table. The pricing is almost identical.
Well, I have only bought the PoE models. Because if I need a new switch I get PoE to reduce wall wart clutter from IP phones and Access Points.
I do not buy a PoE switch just because I get phones generally. Most clients have switching hardware that does not need replaced.

did you buy Unifi or EdgeSwitch?

Unifi
edge switch
Drag, they don't have a nice grid like this.

So far, only EdgeSwitch.

I'm looking at putting a Unifi Switch in one of my remote offices.

I said cost comparison. I know the features. Just been too busy to go look them all up.

So the UniFi lines main feature is central management, just judging from the name? I'm more into Cisco / Juniper / Nortel / Enterasys etc, never dealt with Ubiquiti but I'm open to anything new.
Yes, UniFi would remind you of Meraki, but you host your own controller and don't have to deal with an annual charge for owning the gear.
The UniFi line is also more limited in functionality than EdgeMax when it comes to the routers. I have not compared the switches.
I don't care about any routers, I'm a pfSense junky
What kind of hardware are you using for your pfSense routers?

I'd enjoy a new post about the Pros/Cons of pfSense / DIY routers

Not a bad idea. What to post that?

Sigh... if I must.
grumbles about needing a full service forum
