For their UniFi line, at least, you don't have to use their cloud controller. You can self-host.
Yep, I have my controller running on a Synology 720+ NAS that has zero ‘wide area network’ access. Everything is local to my home. I am deeply saddened by Ubiquiti’s fall from grace... they were so good.

Out of interest, why wouldn't you host it on something like a raspberry pi? Having your local network depend on an external network makes my old school sysadmin bones tingle for some reason.
The Ubiquiti controller is not needed for general operation, unless you're using a guest hotspot. Otherwise if it's offline you just lose ability to do configuration and it's data/stats logging.

Was shopping for alternatives to my Ubiquiti last night. Seems like there is nothing good out there. Engenius has shit hardware and a cloud controller. Aruba has a cloud controller AND you have to pay for a license. Cisco makes you pay for a license. TP-Link is cloud-based. WTF. Does anyone have a decent WAP where I can use PoE, deploy like 5 of them and have them support roaming between APs, all managed locally? Is…
Eero is amazing. It Just Works. Apple style. Plug it in. Never fuck with it. Rock solid.

So the question for becomes: is there just not a good enthusiast market for this stuff? I have met a number of people who are "network nerds", so I'm inclined to think the market does exist. With any of the plethora of consumer devices (Linksys, Netgear, D-Link) it's a dice roll whether your gear is complete garbage or not. A lot of the time, you're coming up snake eyes. I've got some Ubiquiti gear I bought a couple…
The latest incarnation on linksys ea8500 is slightly bumpy (seems like a kernel crash), but didn’t get annoying enough yet to hook up the serial console and get into kernel bug hunting, yet.
I have about a dozen VLANS that are distributed between different SSIDs and a few L2 switches for wired; bonjour gateway/filtering for the stuff like AirPrint.

If admin login is using weak credentials, it is by definition not a secure backend. Password/credential management and mandatory MFA are ALWAYS part of security due diligence for suppliers.
Except if it is awscli creds, then of course there is no MFA.

The work flow we used was AWS Vault -> Okta -> short lived AWS creds.
