Curation Review
✔ Pros:Official IDS/IPS rating of 5 Gbps with integrated threat prevention (CyberSecure); 10G SFP+ ports on both LAN and WAN sides for fibre or 10GbE uplinks; 2.5GbE RJ45 WAN port plus multi-WAN support for failover and load balancing; Integrated UniFi controller and NVR-capable drive bays for a single-box network and surveillance solution; Rated for 200+ UniFi devices and 2,000+ clients; No licence or subscription fees for core features; Layer 7 application-aware firewall with zone-based policies, WireGuard, OpenVPN and IPsec site-to-site VPN
✘ Cons:Ubiquiti does not publish firewall throughput, VPN throughput, or session-capacity figures, which makes sizing harder; IDS/IPS throughput of 5 Gbps is well below the 10G ports, so it cannot saturate them with threat prevention on; Only 8 RJ45 LAN ports at 1GbE with no PoE, so it is a gateway rather than a switch replacement; Retail prices vary widely by region and seller, and the US $599 figure is an older MSRP that current US retailers do not consistently match; Limited independent test data and few user reviews compared with established enterprise firewalls; PPPoE may reduce the published 5 Gbps figure depending on the ISP
