I love ubiquiti. My entire home network runs on their gear, with self-hosted management. I have infra deployed across the country in a remote office that runs their gear, with a cloud key. It's solid stuff all around. Don’t use any of their unifi routers tho, can’t speak to that. I have an ER-4 at home and the remote office has a pfsense 1U.
It's not a particularly good setup, but it's also not a particularly bad one. Actual prosumer+ products like Sophos XG (free), Untangle Home, *sense blow it out of the water, though, by giving actual offerings for features where Unifi gives a diet version. That all being said, it's definitely a cut above most consumer networking setups, maybe with the exception of Asus -- they do a pretty solid job.

Right?! Who's buying? Big businesses or regular retail? Or are they limiting supply to keep prices high?
The second one. Businesses aren't buying this shit.
I watched a video yesterday from a german medical cannabis business where I recognized unifi APs in the building. Their camera system was (as one would imagine) unifi too.
Re: UniFi Express
#15Another confused product from UniFi. Is it targeting home users or businesses? It looks like businesses from their web page yet feels very much like a better fit for home. It only runs UniFi Network, so you have to buy more things, that also run UniFi Network, to get into any of their other products like Protect. I like their stuff but lately a lot of their stuff feels just confused to me, like they don't know what t…

#16Interesting— looks like it is a Dream Machine plus WiFi AP combo.

Anything that isn't basically your home office is running a solid NGFW with SSL interception.
