That’s actually not true anymore. After their latest update, my cloud key plus gen 2 requires me to sign on using their SSO. Not something you can remove anymore. Lots of people are (rightly) up in arms about this
That being said, I still love my Ubiquiti products
Interesting. My UDM has an option to disable remote sign in (although I have not used it). I guess that may still require cloud SSO but simply disable remote provisioning, in which case that seems like it would solve the vast majority of use cases people would have.
Of course, if you want a locally managed device and have a relatively simple topology there are plenty of other brands and products out there. I personally love the cloud sign in &. remote provisioning.
We bought their rack-mounted NVR for the office to replace our old UniFi Video system, but have yet to start using it, because we can't find a way around the SSO.
Critique about it on their forums is removed by moderators.
