So if your controller is running on a VM in the cloud, and the unify
box(es) is/are behind NAT, how does the controller reach through the
NAT? Or do the unify box(es) reach out?

Anything special about the controller? Windows, MacOS, Linux? Will
the controller run on a Mikrotik?

You need a unifi controller to manage the system. The individual
AP's don't have a web page. You put the controller on the same
LAN segment as the AP's and it will discover them and add them to
the network.
You could use your laptop as the "controller" to set them up and
then take it with you when you leave. The AP's will keep working
without being able to reach the controller.....but don't do that.
If you want to change anything later you'd have to go back with
the same laptop. If you want to associate the AP's with a
different controller you have to default them.
For a super small deployment I just install the controller
software on the customer's PC. Once you get past a handful of
AP's then you include a $300 PC in the cost estimate.
So the unifi is like a normal ubnt. Product just program it
and leave. It?

I have a customer yanking out his Meraki’s in a couple
months and going to UniFi. We have a installations with
them, zero problems. But you do need a management
computer. I have the XClaim radio too that I tested at my
house. The only problem is no management tool outside
your phone and you have to be onsite. They said they will
have something in a few months for that.
Xirrus is enterprise grade and probably as expensive as
Meraki with all the bells and whistles. I’d stick to
UniFi if it was me for financial reasons if you simply
want to give away free internet.

I have 2 at home, easy setup. Basic feature set… problem
with reatail locations like restaurants is that you need
control of the users… how much time they can browse, when
the AP will be available (avoiding night leeches), login
mechanisms, value added marketing for the host restaurant
(like pop ups every x min with advertisement) Etc… Retail
is a different animal… Meraki even offers visit statistics
of how many passerbys( mac detected but not registered) ,
users (loged in) with how long they stayed, how
recurrently the pass or visit ect! Very extensive reports
for the host restaurant/retail location

We also ordered a few Xclaim AP's and they seem to be
performing really well and at a great price as well.

The new Xclaim AP's are designed for this type of
environment. Get the Ruckus RF engineering technology
with the coffee shop type price.
Installing one in our new office... will have my hands on
it on Friday. Only need a single AP... and of course it
will be lightly loaded (mostly for cell phones,etc...
computers are hardwired typically).
Got mine from JR at WAV - good price on those units too.
