Written review: Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Fiber UCG-Fiber Review - ServeTheHome

Just as a quick note, we purchased these units thanks to our STH YouTube members. We have refused to sign the standard NDA with Ubiquiti that everyone else does because there is a line in there that Ubiquiti would not allow us to remove, saying that we could review the product provided Ubiquiti is allowed to review the post prior to publication, and that we would incorporate that feedback if needed. While we tour data centers, manufacturing sites, and similar locations and let people preview to ensure we are not leaking confidential information, we do not allow vendors to preview and provide substantive feedback that we would be required to incorporate into our reviews. Our readers and YouTube viewers have requested that we review this box, so we purchased it to provide an honest assessment.

Ubiquiti is absolutely wild. Thank goodness some outlets like STH don't sign that shit. I don't understand why they are so afraid of commentary. If Ubiquiti needs to give feedback, these are public videos: write a comment like the rest of us lmao.

Will be excited to see this Keystone switch lay down the gauntlet on other routers.

Patrick mentioned that before in one or two another videos, when he addressed the reason why as a matter of policy they didn't/won't review any of the unifi switches (or any of their products in general) in their big round-ups, even though they'll mention a couple of them as alternatives/point of comparisons and that they're even quite happy with the couple of Ubiquiti devices they run in their office.
