    Recommended in combination with Unifi and Gigabit Internet.

    As a professional IT service provider, I was skeptical of the product at first: what does this box deliver for this small amount?
    In short: it is the perfect complement if you already use Unifi components and CloudKey anyway     (and especially the Unifi WLAN is absolutely top class). It lets you manage everything via a central interface. Setting up VLANs, for example, is extremely simple: provisioning automatically takes care of everything on the router and, if necessary, switch and access points from Ubiquity. Detailed configurations such as port forwarding are done in the specific router configuration.
    In combination with a Gigabit connection (e.g. Fiber7) it does not disappoint and delivers Gigabit routing/NAT throughput.
    It may not be able to do some things perfectly via GUI yet, but a lot can still be done via the command line. And to Dintenrolf's comment: I would only ever do IPSec site-to-site with static IPs anyway. But what about OpenVPN?     

    Pro

    • Gigabit Routing/NAT Throughput
    • Detailed traffic analysis and statistics
    • Very cheap
    • Super integration in Unifi setup
    • Fanless and compact

    Contra

    • Gets very warm
    • IPv6 currently only configurable via console
    • VPN for individual users not easily usable (RADIUS server)

    For the price and scope of delivery, a very good device.

    As you would expect from Ubiquiti UniFi, centralised management. The USG integrates perfectly into the UniFi environment.
    The firewall settings are still in the beta phase. If Ubiquiti expands the range of functions, this     will be a very good device. 

    Pro

    • Simple operation
    • central management

    Contra

    • Firewall settings are still beta
  • integer

    Ingenious device

    Ingenious device for the layman as well as for the network professional (I would position myself in between). New functions are constantly being added (in terms of software with the controller).
    With my UPC connection 500Mbit/s     / 50Mbit/s the full performance comes through. My feeling is that the VPN speed is a bit too slow, but I don't have any references for comparison. It is also possible that the limitation is due to the encryption and is no longer possible (I know too little about this).

    All-in-All: Super device, works perfectly!     

    Pro

    • Simple configuration (once the USG has been adopted in the controller)

    Contra

    • gets a little hot in operation, but does not bother me
