There was more to the debacle, for example, putting ads for their other products in the controller UI.

  Or the new version of their controller software missing huge chunks of functionality causing you to keep switching from new UI to old UI depending on what you needed to get done.

    Although to be fair, while this has been super annoying, they are slowly getting there with recent releases. It definitely has the new product manager 'start from scratch clean slate' vs 'inherited mess' while co-existing vibes. Once they have hit parity, the cadence of this new team's releases should turn into a feature because they are consistently releasing updates/fixes way differently to previous management. I still hate that the iOS Protect UX/UI has never used their own app beyond 9-5, as dark mode was removed and the interface is PURE WHITE. The iOS Network UX/UI designer has clearly used their app at night, hence a dark mode existing.

    I think most of the complaints about UI are overblown (as commenters in this thread have pointed out) but this one is absolutely brutal. Sitemap works in one UI but not the other; some features work in new but not old... ridiculous.

  Given their inexpensive pricing, as long as they only do that in their admin interface and don’t mess with my packets, it’s not worth throwing the baby out with the bath water in my book… especially since there are no real competitors offering good hardware with nice UI.

    Does Ubiquity use a standard ad network architecture that allows code from unknown third parties to run within your network?

      It’s Ubiquiti advertising their own products.

        More specifically, the ads are embedded into the software, not loaded dynamically

          Well that's a rare thing, so imagine my surprise. ;)
