Time, metrics, I have 7 access points, if one starts getting high noise, I get a message and can move it. If I want to put my TV on it's own vlan, I can see what switch it's on and what port, change the vlan from my phone in a handful of clicks

Updates, backups. For their issues, they also have a lot of creature comforts.

I ran Cisco for years. I spent more time on Cisco in most week than I have post setup on unifi and uniform has more features.
