Didn't know that. I haven't had to support it all since 2018.
Yeah, we switched all our clients to meraki and some on ubiquiti, depending on their budget and user counts. I personally use ubiquiti gateways/switches/waps at home and love it.
I use ubiquity AP's at the house but I run pfsense for my router. The unifi gateways I've dealt with were buggy. Of course its been at least five years since I've touched one of those and they may be more stable now.
Mines a little old, ran into a few bugs, but nothing detrimental. I don't know much about the new ones like the wall mounted ones. Mine are all rack mount.
Like I said the problems I had have probably been addressed. Ubiquity has always been pretty diligent about keeping their products working as advertised.
I have the pfsense plus routers at work and one thing I like about them is the selection of tunnel options and the really great filter. Unifi controllers have though been increasingly require their gateways to function in full. That kind of forced integration is a strike in my book.
I used pfsense before, I got ubiquiti to familiarize myself more with it since clients use it.
I hate the app too, I have it setup on a small micro PC setup as my pihole and DNS.
