Why did you decide against tp-link?

I give UI a +1 for overall quality/integration and being an American company, but TPLink seems also well praised recently. With Tapo Cameras etc they seem to be going in the steps of UI too.

Honestly, it was a very close call.

I had two shopping lists written down, one for Unifi, one for TP-link. It was a combination of a couple of factors. It was actually a really tough decision, because they both seemed very good value for money. I wasn't factoring in cameras, just controller + switch + APs.

It was a combination of a couple of factors (this was in 2022):

- UI and integration

- Number of reviews and write-ups

- What I could find in stock

If I were doing it again today, I couldn't guarantee that my decision would be the same. It'd be a tough one...yet again.
