Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • The UCG-Fiber, Max and Ultra and the entire UDM series (Pro, SE, Max) support the same amount of categories for IDS/IPS and up to 55,000+ with CyberSecure.
  • If all your devices only have gigabit NICs anyways, just get a Cloud Gateway Ultra, connect everything up with regular Ethernet, and call it a day.
  • My Cloud Gateway Ultra (pretty much a UX7 without the WiFi) has the ability to clone a MAC for the WAN.
  • I have UCG-Ultra on the other site and it's a lot faster, like really A LOT.
  • my own recomendation is sell the cloudkey and get a UCG Ultra, performs very well.

Cons

  • For the router you can get something relatively cheap if you never plan to go over 1Gb WAN connection. https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-cloud-gateways/products/ucg-ultra
  • My setup is just the ucg-ultra listed a few times to show what is connected to it. ISP gateway -> ucg-ultra -> netgear unmanaged poe switch -> u6+ AP wifi6 upstairs office

The Ultra is limited to 1 Gb if that is a factor for you. ... I recommend the UCG line as it is the newest Unifi platform and is affordable for many.

Cloud max or cloud fiber offers more bang for the buck.

If you don’t need built in AP, get UCG Ultra, overall there are some few features more.
