Unify Dream Machine, it's constantly out of stock, you have to keep checking Ubiquiti website to get it. It has cloud access which is used by app to monitor or control it from outside of your house, but you can disable it.

Nope, don't trust them to do that after https://community.ui.com/questions/Ubiquiti-ignoring-auto-update-settings-and-using-back-doors-into-our-Protect-systems-is-at-a-minimu/e60f39ce-c3ae-4cb0-9079-0304c467a40b https://community.ui.com/questions/Ubiquiti-ignoring-auto-up...

  Having owned UDM for over a year with auto update off, they never pushed any forced update, I always do it manually every few months. Based on number of updates[1] that they push I can totally give them benefit of doubt that it was a bug. They have dozens of products which they update constantly, picking one bug at one time as malice and blacklisting a company is not correct. If you go that route you won't have any company left to buy from. [1]https://community.ui.com/releases https://community.ui.com/releases

  You don't need it. You can disable the cloud access starting with the latest firmware.

We use UDM's at work and I really feel like they are half baked products at best. I'm really not a fan and we've stopped using them completely in new installations because of it and have gone back to MikroTik hardware which has never given us issues. I also just find the UDMs interface an absolute shit show to navigate and find things.

  I'm not a fan, but surely the prosumer version has one! Due to system load being above 1 all the time it causes quite some heat, and thus fan noise. Crappy firmware, never fixed.

  Agreed... their old edgerouter was much better. Hoping their unifi OS (containerization of their platforms on their hardware) becomes more flexible without the hacks people use now. Until then, I'll keep using my edgerouter...
