Right?! Who's buying? Big businesses or regular retail? Or are they limiting supply to keep prices high?

- boringuser2 3y agoThe second one. Businesses aren't buying this shit.
- dgacmu 3y agoMy climbing gym uses unifi, as one example. (I noticed it because I use them at home). Seems like a pretty reasonable choice for a small business.
- entropie 3y agoWrong. I watched a video yesterday from a german medical cannabis business where I recognized unifi APs in the building. Their camera system was (as one would imagine) unifi too.

- entropie 3y agoAs long as you dont provide any reasoning your are just another guy in the internet talking gibberish.
- boringuser2 3y ago1. The throughput is inadequate. 2. The IDS/IPS is an inadequate Suricata instance with outdated rulesets and no SSL inspection. 3. There is nothing comparable to a WAF. Gun to my head, I'd trust ASUS AI protect for a business router to substantially outperform Unifi's security offerings. The ASUS at least knows what it is and what it can be: basically a glorified WAF. IDS/IPS don't even work well with up to date rulesets if they can't decrypt traffic.
- akerl_ 3y agoWhat kind of small business actually benefits from an IDS/IPS or WAF?
- belkinpower 3y ago“Inadequate” depends a lot on what you’re doing. I wouldn’t use any of this stuff in a datacenter but for a small business or branch office it’s totally fine.
- judge2020 3y agoLikely UDM Pros and not Dream Routers. Businesses still want it to look professional with at least a 6u wall-mounted rack.
- Spivak 3y agoYou are forgetting that most business' needs are extremely minimal. By volume there are more bakeries, bars, gyms, one man doctor's offices, little car dealerships, hair salons than businesses that have actual IT needs. And for those businesses a dream router is fine if not a bit overkill.
- c0pium 3y agoEvery small business within driving distance of me seems to have Ubiquiti WiFi on their walls/ceilings. Seriously, in the businesses where they provide free customer wifi these things are everywhere.
- fnordpiglet 3y agoFeel free to flog their network engineers. Most businesses (likely in the order of 99%) have precisely zero network engineers. So, it’ll be a pretty quick flogging. Their products talk to those businesses.
- matwood 3y ago> recognized unifi APs Anecdote of course, but I see these everywhere.
- kcb 3y agoI see unifi APs everywhere in businesses.
- opless 3y agoBusinesses ARE buying this stuff. Remote access, decent ecosystem, reliable. What's not to like? The only problem I have on occasion is stock.
- ksec 3y agoI dont think you understand SMEs, which is 90%+ of all business.
