✔ Pros:25 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput with 55,000+ CyberSecure signatures; 8x 10GbE RJ45 plus 2x 25G SFP28 and 2x 10G SFP+ for high-speed uplinks and backbone links; Supports 750+ managed UniFi devices and 7,500+ connected clients; 8-core ARM Neoverse N2 CPU at 2.1 GHz with 16 GB RAM; Integrated 128 GB SSD and two 3.5" NVR HDD bays for UniFi Protect; Shadow Mode (VRRP) high availability, gateway failover, and DC power backup input; Supports IPsec, OpenVPN, WireGuard, L2TP and Site Magic SD-WAN
✘ Cons:Priced at roughly three times the UDM Pro Max ($1,499 vs $599); No PoE ports; Internal power supply is not removable; Firewall, IPsec VPN, max session, and new-session-rate figures are not published by Ubiquiti; Overkill for small deployments where the UDM Pro Max would suffice; Third-party listings reach $1,999.99 above the reported $1,499 price; Protocol support differs between sources (Teleport and L2TP are not listed everywhere)
IPsec VPN Throughput: Not published by Ubiquiti; WireGuard/Site-Magic VPN up to 500 Mbps (third-party review, untested method)

Curation Review
✔ Pros:2.5GbE WAN and LAN ports on a compact, low-power chassis (max 16.1 W); 512GB built-in NVMe storage on the standard SKU for local UniFi data; Integrated UniFi controller with IDS/IPS and no license or subscription fees; Supports 300+ clients and 30+ UniFi devices; Multi-WAN capable through the remappable LAN port
✘ Cons:Only 1.5 Gbps with IDS/IPS enabled, well below the 2.5 Gbps routing figure; IPsec VPN throughput, session counts and new sessions per second are not published; No PoE output and no built-in Wi-Fi access point; No LAG/LACP support; 500 Mbps VPN throughput is limiting for high-volume site-to-site tunnels
