1. The throughput is inadequate.

2. The IDS/IPS is an inadequate Suricata instance with outdated rulesets and no SSL inspection.

3. There is nothing comparable to a WAF.

Gun to my head, I'd trust ASUS AI protect for a business router to substantially outperform Unifi's security offerings.

The ASUS at least knows what it is and what it can be: basically a glorified WAF. IDS/IPS don't even work well with up to date rulesets if they can't decrypt traffic.

“Inadequate” depends a lot on what you’re doing. I wouldn’t use any of this stuff in a datacenter but for a small business or branch office it’s totally fine.

What kind of small business actually benefits from an IDS/IPS or WAF?
