I'm not sure if it was a cashflow issue or what, but they launched the Unifi Dream Machine Pro after a very short testing period. A client bought two thinking they could replace their office firewall with it. There were *so* many show-stopping issues with the product, it was basically a brick for ~4 months. You couldn't configure the device unless it had a non RFC-1918 address on its WAN interface. It crashed frequently both due to software bugs and memory usage. Software updates frequently b0rked things...and backup/restore was broken. Interfaces would disconnect and reconnect for ~30 seconds several times per hour. I tested it for my client and had a list of ~15 show-stopper bugs that prevented us from putting it into production. Thankfully they were "quick" to fix it. It's been ~3 months and all the show-stoppers seem to be resolved. Things like logging and graphing are still broken, but that doesn't stop internet access. Regardless, they shouldn't have pushed a completely broken device out the door as being ready for public sale. It should still be in beta today in my opinion. -A
