So I started seriously using UniFi I think in 2016-ish after using some of their PtP/PtMP stuff for longer. I never ran anything massive peaking at under 200 devices total across various sites, but we did put it pretty hard, and I did enjoy it and find the value proposition excellent. And having said that I'd sound a real note of caution, which is why I've eliminated most of them in favor the same-niche positioned Omada. Ubiquiti turned into a real development dumpster fire, every bad tech trope right from the textbook. They have a long history of introducing constant new hardware that, particular for routing/firewall/gateway services then languishes even as it gets sold new without a single update for ages. Various touted efforts that then got unceremoniously wiped. Really basic core functionality neglected for constant UX churn, let alone useful important new features. "Dumpster fire" has not been an unreasonable descriptor. They've also added a concerning trend towards proprietary lock-in and pushing of cloud, even though to their great credit full local control remains a key selling point. Omada isn't perfect either, and the hardware design is worse, though it's been more reliable and with a lot of basics better locked down for me. I'd be delighted to have two strong competitors there, and there have been a few promising glimmers on UniFi, like PPSK getting some initial attention (4 years late is better than nothing). And certainly the basic switching and WiFi mostly works. Having a whole single pane of glass remains attractive, and either is a big upgrade over the kind of stuff a lot of people are coming from. Just take some of their promotional gloss with a grain of salt is all. And as always AIO is something to balance as well. When I switched out the routing side of things for OPNsense I could maintain the whole rest of the stack as I pleased, including APs in optimal positions. The latter is less of a (or zero) concern in small spaces, but even then WiFi, switching, and routing needs don't always evolve in sync.
