Anyone got any recent experience, particularly Ubiqiti? 

By contrast the Ubiqiti Unifi ecosystem looks amazing - slick management 
interfaces with monitoring and configurations options that actually 
work! 
Use Ubiquiti at home and at the local radio station I help with.
I really like it, no cloud, at home I have the manage SW installed on a Debian server.
The 5g hops are self contained that are controlled via a web-browser, fit and forget,

At the radio station we use several hops to get our audio to the FM transmitters, one hop is about a 2 miles I think.
The potential deal breaker for me I guess is that 
Ubiqiti seem a bit like the Apple of wifi and seem a bit like they 
really, really want you to whole-heartedly buy into the whole 
stack/ecosystem: I don't _need_ any of their vertical integration or 
cloudy crap but I do _want_ their slick looking wifi management.
Don't use the cloud bit, at home the AP are behind an aged IPCop firewall (must replace that!)
