So the question for @Breffni-Potter is what did you supply to this instance?

4GB of Ram, 2 Procs.

There's no telling what they did to butcher the Linux version though.

The mobile version of this is maybe 1/10th completed. Completely unusable....

The desktop version at least is browse-able, even if it is an awful product.

The non-MSP version looks fine.

In the back-end, does it have the same issues?

One would think that someone so bent on correcting others would take the time to get it right

Have a beer or something jeez.

I am, trust me. Just pointing things out.

Isn't this the software that spiceworks keeps trying to push?

A marketing company trying to push products? gasp

So tried out the MangeEngine ServiceDesk Plus MSP on premise install on a Linux server.

Flash based for most of the widgets.
The Linux service script is 10 years out of date.
They use install shield because, who knows.
The software takes, 10 minutes to start up. This is not a server performance issue, that is just how long it takes the software to do who knows what.
The UI and over-all design is still terribly out of date. 2017, time to move on.

Don't take my word for it

@scottalanmiller said in Ubiquiti switches: UniFi vs EdgeMax:

That's actually a reason that I dislike GUIs on all kinds of things from switches and routers to servers or whatever - GUIs encourage people to "mess around" with things that they don't know enough about.

Like re-naming a production server in the middle of the day because they decided it would be fun to use a lord of the rings naming scheme.

That's either a very good but random example or someone has a great story to tell.

Yes. The leadership of the company thought it would be a good idea.

So one of them logged in and did exactly that.

BOOM. Helpdesk got flooded with calls.

EdgeSwitch = More specs, more features, individual boxes, no single pane of glass management.

Unifi Switch = Less specs, managed by a controller with less features.

Which one should you buy?

If you want traditional switch management, go with an EdgeSwitch. If you are happy to trade off features and config options, Unifi.

I consider myself a human being.

So, OnlyOffice.

Looks interesting, Have you got any UK users?

I would assume that she works for or with OpenOffice. Vendors are allowed here, nothing wrong with that.

Unless its a bot.

Or both and let JB do it. and maintain spare parts on the shelf. ITSPs/MSPs like ADVERT and ADVERT company will be able to crush this price.

Yes but is that the point?

@Dashrender said

The biggest killer for me is the cost of service for the AP vs the cost of the APs. $50/yr to add an AC-Lite which only costs $80.

Yeah but you could argue that about any warranty agreement.

There is a market, there is a demand, they have made a service to do it. They are not pulling a Nisco and force people to buy into these warranty agreements.

Until it goes wrong.

You would not believe the situations people get themselves into by just unplugging things when they are not 100% certain of what is going where.

Did you check the Cisco Router config to see if there was anything particular about those ports?

@Reid-Cooper said in Unifi sell Cloud based controller:

Tags, please.

What's with the tag thing on here lately?

Do you want to trade your time or your money? You can save one of them but not both.

If time, do it yourself.

If money, let them do it.

So you did that before you read this post yeah?

But I'm not in that area, not subject to the T&C and found the information that they published. So anything but cut and dry. Murky and non-applicable, it would seem.

How did you find it on GitHub?

Besides it being publicly published to the Internet you mean?

It's right there under the Ubiquiti main page:

https://github.com/Ubiquiti-App/

How did you find that Ubiquiti page on github then?
