What issues did you encounter when using Unifi?

From what I’ve seen, Unifi seems like the closest to an "Apple-like" experience - especially given how much more robust their capabilities are compared to most other providers.

The idea that Ubiquiti pushes out buggy software as production-ready and that we're all their beta testers is a pretty common meme on their subreddit.

I couldn't get my Elgato Key Light Air (or whatever its called) to work on my Unifi network - something was amiss with the WLAN settings that others reported was specific to unifi.

I didn't like how they stopped supporting on-prem Unifi Video server, and only allow you to use it with a hardware appliance now.

They moved beyond "just build good product" and into unwanted cloud services and closed ecosystem.

If this is a re-opening of some of their self-hosting, then great. They're back to par, I guess?

That was definitely the case. It's not always the case anymore.
