Ubiquiti is good. You just have to learn how it works. But that's like any software defined network. There are times when they will give you a little too much control expecting you know the consequences of your actions and you send the wrong config and lock yourself out. They do make mistakes in their firmware but nowhere near as much as inexperienced techs make a mistake and blame the equipment.
I think I'd buy 2nd hand quality server drivers before I'd shuck.
I use idrive e2. When I did the math it's yearly up front cost works out what deep archive is without an egress fee and it's quicker. In the fine print there is a fair use policy on downloads but I think it's 5x the storage amount.
Deep archive storage alone without puts is $24 TB year. idrive is $15 first year $30 subsequent. But it behaves more like s3 standard instant retrieval which is much more expensive.
Small company but have been around a long time now.
I only just noticed people calling her Joanne because she identifies as JK. Nice one.
This is the Internet. No witch trial just witch burning.
High Availability not Home Assistant.
Yeah they're good now. In the early days they had a lot of quirks and also a lot of people weren't settling them up correctly so older support posts have a lot of negative guff. But with their new setup and support apps (Unifi+wifiman) the success rate of getting things working how you want for a first timer is much higher these days.
Their new policy VPN routing and DNS filtering options in the ultra and max units makes the loss of full x-sense control less of an issue.
I used to have 2 gateways one pfsense VM and one physical to sort out filtering and stuff but I switched to ubiquiti and it does everything I need in one easy to manage unit again.
