If anyone is looking for the alternative to Ubiquiti since their fall from grace in recent years, I've found it to be HP Aruba. I always use more open source stuff for personal projects, but Aruba Instant On is what I commonly recommend/integrate for other people, whereas it used to be Ubiquiti. Solid design across hardware and software. It finds that unique balance in quality/usability between cheap/unreliable, and overcomplicated enterprise.
- jaywalk 5y agoDoes Aruba Instant On have anything comparable to the UniFi Dream Machine Pro?
- kyrra 5y agoMost pro's I watch (like: Lawrence Systems) don't like the UDM all that much due to lack of features. While you get a single pane-of-glass for managing the Wifi and Router, having some other product for a router tends to be better (PFSense or OpnSense). I've been running both for for 6+ years now and like it.
- jaywalk 5y agoThe only thing I've ever wished the UDM could do was change it's WAN MAC address, because I wanted to keep the same IP I'd had for years when I got it. No particular reason other than sheer nerdiness, but I got over it. Other than that, I've never wanted it to do something that it can't do.
