We are looking at upgrading our network equipment from old HP switches and Aruba access points, we have a Fortinet firewall that we are happy with, so we’ll probably keep using them there, but for the rest we are looking for new stuff.

And we are looking closely at Ubiquiti for switches and APs, but two things have appeared on our radar.

Ubiquiti does have a cloud admin UI, this means that Ubiquiti needs to have access to our network controller to access this feature.

But what if we don’t use that, will Ubiquiti still be able to access the network controller?

I guess that what I am asking is how does the access control work?

Also, updates, I see that they seem to be very frequent and also see some scattered reports that they have required admins to reset their configs and loosing camera footage, can you set updates to be delayed for X days?

    Personally, I like unifi. I haven’t noticed any strange traffic from the APs or the controller (local). One note, though: always go with backwards compatibility (for example, if some of your APs can handle wifi6, but even just one can’t, turn wifi6 off for all SSIDs that are on both models).
