I've been using PFSense for years, and it's been pretty great, but I also have some friends who are homelabbers that like their Unifi setups.

What do you guys prefer, and why?

I got a UDM SE. The controller runs on the device itself and can be used locally, without a Internet connection or Ubiquity account (i've only ever set up a local admin account on the controller).

It works great for me. UDM + 4 switches and 2 AP. All unify, I like the interface. But I'm also only doing basic stuff.

I've had a pfsense based setup in the past and liked it. Now that I got 10gb ftth, the UDM SE ticked all the boxes and I went with a full unify setup with the switch to 10gbit. Happy with it so far.
