Been using Ubiquiti access points and their Amplifi consumer hardware.
Their product range itself is hit and miss. For example their first AC access points weren't well received, their second range (AC Pro onwards) were very well received.
Their routers are considered so-so, their UDM Pro in particular has had a range of issues. So really it depends on what product you buy rather than the product range as a whole.
I personally buy their AC Pro access points and their LR versions and run their controller app in Docker. You can buy a hardware version of their controller too for $100 or so.
It's rock solid and works well, although I am seeing access points failing 4-5 years in due to a manufacturing issue on some. They're replacing them out of warranty though. One other issue is that their software updates seem to have poor quality control so you will ocassionally get updates which perform poorly and have to be rolled back. I'd suggest keeping auto updates off and updating manually.
All in all, given the cost vs Ruckus, Aruba, Cisco you get pretty good bang for your back.
Their Amplifi range works well - one pack (router + 2 access points) covered a large brick house with full signal across the board. I've heard no complaints from the family member I set that up for.
