Pros: I replaced a cisco 5505 that was showing its age with this and it can more than handle a ton of traffic. I originally bought one to use at work for our guest network and was so impressed I bought one for myself. It has a "cisco-like" command line interface where you can copy /paste commands in to bulk configure it. The webUI is nice, and it has nice traffic tracking features. It is also silent and low power, only about 7 watts. And it has a serial console! Support is also good, there is a large community of users that post on the ubiquity forum and often answer a question within hours.
Cons: The vpn throughput is less than what I'd hope for, but maybe they will fix that in a future release. You can choose from a number of different vpn protocols to uses on it. Other reviews are right, this is not for the faint of heart but the WebUI makes it pretty easy to walk through. Its a good learning experience if you're getting into networking.
Overall Review: Make sure you turn on the offload features - you can only do it via the cli. Without it the throughput was only about 110 mb/sec. set system offload ipsec enable set system offload ipv4 forwarding enable set system offload ipv4 vlan enable set system offload ipv6 forwarding enable set system offload ipv6 vlan enable
