I like the centralized management console, where we can add all of the devices to the Unifi controller and then management them from a single point.

Setting up IP generation for something like guest access is pretty confusing and should be improved.

If I could manage the W-LAN or other items without a UniFi switch, that would be very helpful. I have not tried, but I think some options are tied to the hardware, like the Ubiquiti switch.

Software interfaces could be improved and there is a lack of documentation.

Documentation could be improved, especially regarding known issues or new features. It relies heavily on the user community to provide support and info. There is a vast user group with support groups on both the dedicated forums as well as most social media platforms.

I don't like the concept of the QoS, Quality of Service configuration because it doesn't give very granular configuration access to prioritize network traffic.

You pay more upfront for Ubiquiti UniFi, but you don't receive substantial support, which is problematic.
