I’ve swapped out all of my ubiquiti gear for Mikrotik. Granted, it is not as turn-key and fancy, but it gets the job done a lot better and especially cheaper.

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve been a long time user of Unifi kit but the utter stagnation of the entire product line has really made me want to start looking for other options.

For instance, I keep hoping for an updated USG3 given the current one hasn’t changed since 2014 and can’t do IPS without throttling speeds to 80Mbps which is simply unacceptable these days, but all they seem to be doing is focusing on big and expensive 1U hardware which I just don’t have room for.

I really like aruba instant-on if you want something that is flexible but has enough handholdy features to get you through the usual tasks.

Isn’t Aruba pricing in a different category than Microtik or Ubiquity?

Aruba's Instant On line has AP's that are similarly-priced to Ubiquity's, although they don't have an offering like the UDM Pro.

Very much so!
