Past experiences include Cisco (bad incentives, they make a lot of money from certifications and licenses), TP-Link (broke the case physically when pressing a button, was left without updates after some time), Ubiquiti (could not handle the load of my home network. I had the edgerouter-x though which is weak)
I was quite happy with Ubiquity for a while, but their cloud push and constantly moving and hiding features in their UI is driving me mad. Power isn't the issue since I got the UDM-SE. Mikrotik came up as the next router I'll be buying. I just want consistent CLI configuration at this point. Stop moving my cheese and forcing features I don't want.
I distrust all of them. Instead I get hardware meant to be a corporate firewall, router, vpn and install Linux on it. It's more expensive and I have to do more work but that has worked well for me.
