We came from OpenMesh so we kind of knew what we wanted, we looked at a few other options like Datto and Cisco but they were too expensive. We also looked at the ZyXEL cloud line but we found the command link was blocked by some of the firewalls we used.

My clients always evaluate other options, such as Cisco, Meraki, Aruba, Aerohive, and others.

Cisco small business equipment, Netgear.

I did not evaluate other options before choosing Ubiquiti UniFi.
