interesting note: web documentation is actually built into the guiusing
the "?" in the upper right for each page you are on (edgeswitch)
Ubiquiti isn't big on documentation, mainly because they change software
feature-sets/versions so quickly. I'm not saying that's good or bad,
just saying how things are :)

EdgeRouters offer great performance and a good featureset, although for
hardcore business/commercial use, there's still some things missing
(features similar to carp/pfsync, HA, needs redundant power supply
options, etc.).
Just as reminder: EdgeOS, the OS on Ubiquiti routers (a
Ubiquiti-internal Vyatta fork) is NOT what runs EdgeSwitches.
I remember reading on their forums that we can assume (strong CLI
similarity w. Netgear) that they run a branded Broadcom FastPath
switching software. Netgear managed switches definitely run on FastPath
(do an snmpwalk). FastPath itself often runs on top of an embededded Linux.
For Ubiquiti's wireless stuff, I agree, they don't do everything as good
as other big players, but at the price tey offer their devices, they
offer a lot bang for the buck with ease of management.
I've given a look at the EdgeSwitches but the following downsides made
me a bit hesitant:
- Almost no documentation, no CLI reference manual (yet).
Cisco, HP, even Netgear have such documents, they are not only handy,
but quite essential to look up i.e. default behaviour. Not all
mentioned do top-notch documentation, but at least it's there.
- No console port current shipping models, though I've seen they
strongly considered adding one in future revisions. On a managed
switch with CLI, it's quite a must (at least for me)
- Fan control seems ot be absent, they tend to run quite noisy
They are incredibly fast though, and Dave Taht (cero-wrt fame,
bufferbloat project) has been working with the directly to get fq_codel
added in.
For the EdgeOS yes, they seem to be loosely tracking and sometimes even
contributing back to the open source Vyatta fork VyOS (by looking at the
VyOS release notes).
