I’m not sure how it is that they still don’t have a hardware update to the USG3P that can enable both IPS and DPI without throttling network speeds to sub-80Mbps speeds. It’s been years now. I’m a big fan of the ecosystem and I’ve recommended it to many people but I’m constantly astonished by the slow pace of hardware updates.
UDM Pro can do it. But there is no standalone security gateway that can do gigabit.

I bought a Unifi Dream Machine last year because it was an all-in-one device that seemed like the simplest way to have multiple VLANs on my home network, in order to segregate my IoT devices and security system from the rest of my home network. At the time, I didn't see any similar products. Are there any other "prosumer"-type devices on the market that could replace a Dream Machine? If Unifi is going downhill it doe…
I would go with MikroTik. Or just one if the cheaper Ubiquiti devices, like the EdgeRouter series.

It's definitely overkill, but what is a homelab if not overkill? It's not really high maintenance, though. Once it's in and running you'll never have to touch it.
Until you do and then you’ve forgotten how and what to do.

As a former Ubiquiti employee, I'm sad to watch the slow decline of the company. There was a steady exodus of engineering talent through 2020. The CEO was focused on moving to countries where engineering was cheaper and employees complained less about constant crunch mode. If you search around, you can find interviews where he brags about closing the San Jose office because he thought everyone there was too entitled.…

That said I don't hear the best about the company (long working hours, not the highest pay) and have declined a job offer there myself.

This is not entirely accurate. The default logging may not capture the individual child clients, depending on your configuration (eg double nat), sure... but those child clients are still entirely at the mercy of your configuration otherwise. Saying that the clients are completely invisible/invincible, and that the fault is the Ubiquiti product, is not true.
You need to read my comment again. The clients are behind either a bridged AP or a switch, i.e. all on the same subnet, all getting their DHCP addresses from the UDM-Pro, all in the UDM-Pro's ARP table. There is NO double NAT happening here. Furthermore I didn't say they were invincible. I just said they were invisible to the UDM-Pro's UI. Unless you have a blanket ban on outgoing LAN traffic, which would be absurd,…
> Unless you have a blanket ban on outgoing LAN traffic, which would be absurd, there's no way to block access for a particular client or a particular destination address for that client.
To the contrary; this is exactly what you should be doing. Isolated subnet for these untrusted devices. Block by default. (Whitelist only)
I used the word invisible to describe it missing in the ui. I used the word invincible to describe your lack of “management” (ie; blocking) of the device.
What I am trying to suggest, however, is that the UDM is likely not the root cause of these issues. I certainly don’t mean to suggest they are the best. The lack of compatibility of features between their product lines is a nightmare.

The product lineup has also gotten pretty scatter-shot. What is Ubiquiti doing selling solar panels?!
It's not traditional networking gear, sure, but I can certainly see the play they're making, so I wouldn't call this a scatter-shot approach.

I'm a developer from one of the cheaper engineering countries to where Ubiquiti has moved to. I'm not sure what are you implying with your comment and I hope it's not "the company is declining because the company moved talent to countries where developers are cheaper". I do personally have friends working there and they are top class developers. Living costs don't necessarily correlate with talent levels. That said I…
Almost forgot, but just last month my wife started complaining about the WiFi, turned out the latest firmware that was pushed to my UAP's is horrible. You have to turn off auto update and check reddit before upgrading firmware, what a joke!
