I have UniFi deployed in places, but Amplifi in my home. It is sweet. My only complaint is that it is too user friendly, and doesn't have the in-depth menus that I am used to with, say Netgear. You have to use the app, and there is no web browser. Some of the options, while trying to be simplified for the average consumer, seem convoluted for a techie.
