I've been using PFSense for years, and it's been pretty great, but I also have some friends who are homelabbers that like their Unifi setups.

What do you guys prefer, and why?

I have a UDMPro I got 2 years ago i believe. Had a netgate SG3100 with PFsense for 6 years before that until the sg3100 hardware and support went EOL. Was happy with both but went with the UDMPro to be able to support the camera systems and was comparable to another netgate device but was about $100 cheaper with a $50 promo. I mostly use it locally and via app at some points.

Just within the last 2 years the UDMs finally got equivalent features to my setup with PFsense. Wireguard and per port GeoIP restrictions and logging were the most used features on my PFsense that from videos and forums didn't seem like it was added to unifi stuff until just the last couple years.
