Great review. Not a product that I need to replace my UDMP but it's nice to see where the future is going.

LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!!! Great device! Great video, Cody!

Great video! The UDM Pro MAX looks like a great console to go with if you don't already have a UDM SE. And the automatic high availability is going to be a wonderful thing once they release Unifi OS 4.0. Its strange though that they have abandoned the PDU Pro's single WAN input to dual WAN outputs for the UDM console high availability feature.

Interesting stuff, Cody. Heard all about this and the roadmap yesterday at the London UWC which you flagged in one of your Livestreams. Was very interesting to hear from the CEO and all the other head guys. Thanks for the heads up! I'm kinda hoping some nuts will go for the Pro Max "just cos" and there'll be a few UDM SE units going cheap for me to upgrade!

I think it missed the ball and should have had 4x SFP+ ports to allow for true redundancy and resiliency. 2 internet links for wan failover. 2 core switch links for an individual link to a pair of aggregation switches. (Each aggregation switch has a link to both UDM Pro Max) Most redundant and resilient setups have 2 of everything. If a core switch dies, the secondary link to the secondary switch takes over. It still has a single point of failure with 1 link cable to 1 switch and if a aggregation switch dies, it still needs manual input to physically move the SFP uplinks from dead switch to active switch

The HA cabling is actually really clean. No big parallel cable, no multiple cables from front to back. Just mirrored cables to the agg switch and the WAN. It makes perfect sense. Now to get that same HA mode running on the UDMSE.....

Nice. I can't wait to test out the HA.

Great Video, Thank You!

Hopefully they do a ubiquity dream machine max. And a distribution power system for UK 220v power cabling, how is the optional power bank coming along?

Great video as usual, Cody. What about the noise level? Louder than the UDMSE?

Great review as always bro!

Thanks for the great video! I've been waiting for a more robust box for one of my installations, so this looks like a step in the right direction for my use case...HOWEVER...I did notice that in the section showing the Apps migrated, there was no Identity app. Do you know if the UDM Pro Max Supports Identity for one-click WiFi and Access?

Are there any more utility type devices coming, such as Cloud Ultra?

Will udm se have also timeline recording to ssd like udm pro max? Or no updates for se model?

Hello, does the UDM-Pro-Max have still the issue that all traffic going out of the WAN port is affected by by natting, so that I can not use it with VLANS on the WAN interface behind a third party SD-WAN or even other firewall solution. This would be a real benefit using the device in enterprise environments where networks/devices must be reached from other locations without port forwarding which is useless in enterprise scenarios. Would be nice if you find some time to to at this.

A bit of a miss on the lack of syncing between devices on the drive for failover. There's a lot of technologies out there where they could have easily done this, hoping this is a feature in the future. Nice video doing a overview as per usual.

interesting new product =) would love to see anyony testing large scale networks, like these 1000clients. looks like unifi tries to design in a way, where you more and more dont need a server running the controller and have a separate usg for midscale networks with just say realworld 500-1000 clients parallel online

@Mactelecom Networks I have a bunch of flat ethernet cables, do you know of any cable combs that work well with flat cables?

I'm currently running 2 UDM Pros in Shadow mode with 2 ISPs in a fail-over config, would I need a switch inbetween each ISP's modem and each UDM Pro to achieve HA Shadow mode? From what I've gathered, most ISPs in the US handout a single IP so I'm not sure if this would work in a failover config without 2 extra switches and double-NAT which doesn't seem ideal. Does that sound right or am I missing something?

Thanks for the quick review, but IMO there are a few important things missing. 1. Could you include a block diagram showing how all the ports are connected and their respective speeds? Is the internal switch still only connected to the CPU at 1Gb/s? 2. How is it possible that the throughput is only ~2.6Gb/s with IDS/IPS enabled, when the Pro/SE was previously advertised as being capable of handling 3.5Gb/s with everything turned on? 3. In the event of an HA failover, is the session table properly synchronized between the two devices to ensure that TCP connections aren't dropped?

Are you hooking up the same ISP connections or is this with 2 separate ISP?

Does the UDM PRO MAX support Link Aggregation on the SFP+ ports set to LAN Ports?

Is HA mode going to be on any of the UXG line? The UXG-Pro at a minimum should have this.

Thanks for your videos, greetings from Chile. I have a question, is it possible to use UDM pro or UMD SE as a Cloud Key, I manage a large network and the CloudKey is no longer able to load the network application. The question is because I have a third party Firewall. The current configuration is: Firewall, towards an Aggregate and the cloud key connected to the second switch. What I'm looking for is: Firewall -> UMD-> and then the rest of the network. On the unifi website there is a cloud key enterprise but it is not available yet. I hope you can help me. Kind regards

Do you know whether Shadow Mode will work between different models - specifically UDM Pro Max and UDM SE?

I will be doing a large installation for fairground wifi in a few months and am wondering if this would be preferred over a UXG-Pro?

How's your dual connection to your ISP configured? Do you have two modems?

Who's RJ45 to SPF+ transceivers do you use? The one from UI has been out of stock for months.

So does the modem need 2 Ethernet ports if both pro max are plugged into it?

So High High Availability will come to all Pro/SE Consoles?

I still can't figure out how this is HA when both UDM connect to a single Aggregation switch... if that switch is down, the HA is useless.. anyone found a way to get trunk from both UDM to a pair of aggreg switches?

This is cool, don't get me wrong, but can we create IPv6-only VLANs yet?

If i'm coming from an UXG-Pro to this, would I still need my cloud key Gen2plus? Thanks~

Hi Cody, I would appreciate it if you can test UDM Pro Max with PPPOE wan 3.0 gbe with IPS/IDS turned on. With UDM SE I can get max 2.3 gbe Bell Fiber.

Strange that the max doesn't have 2.5Gbps switch ports and no POE. Can you put the dual drives in striping (raid 0)?

Did I miss something, why isn't anyone reviewing UXG-MAX? I was hoping to replace a friend's old USG-3 and keep his cloud key plus. This new device appears to tick all my boxes.

Big video!

Still no network access control, SD-Wan still limited to 15 sites :( How "large scale" can you go when you're limited to 15 sites.

How does having 1 internet connection work with Ubiquiti HA? You can’t get the same public ip address to 2 MAC addresses.

When is UniFi os 4.0 scheduled to be released?

How did you split the cable for the ISP connection?

What's the realistic amount of clients this can handle if I'm running about 6 to 8 switches and about 70 APs?

dO THEY HAVE A UNET THE WORKS AS A MODEM?

I was excited when i heard of this product. I thought it would come with POE ++, but it doesnt even come with POE... I just want "one device" that will do cameras and door access for my home, dream wall was almost there if it wasnt for it using only micro sd cards and the UDM SE doesnt have POE++ :c

i'm curious how you got 2 connections from same ISP ?

Will you be switching to Udm pro max at home?

Does it allow multi-site management?

Nice work Cody! Shirt looks great! 😂

you should hook a brother up with that SE.. 😉

I wish someone would test UDP throughput on this model, UDP is the crux of existing Unifi gateway lines, just 500mbps of UDP will cause sever packet loss and if it goes on long enough, crash any controllers on UDM series.

What a pitiful update to the CPU, just a slightly higher clocked model. They should have finally moved past A57 cores and made this 10gbps IPS capable.

Thanks for the update Cody. But just why? If your network is that big, go with the proper components Gateway Pro Aggregation switch UNVR pro. Really? people want to build a network for 1000 devices, but want to skimp on hardware. Makes no sense...

Riiight. Looks fine. I wonder if that comes to the UDM-Pro/-SE with UniFi OS 4, where Cody seems to be running v4.0.2. Thanks for the video!!

"hey, i need HA, but could you throw in a dual drive NVR that isn't HA? Also, can it have 8 gig ports, but make sure to leave out POE so i can't use them with cameras or 2.5gb ports so it's completely useless...oh, can you use the same 12 year old CPU, just make the clocks higher? It would sell like hotcakes!" -Said No-one ever.

Let’s get a Dream Wall Pro with a HDD bay and bottom Ethernet ports!

Now give us SD-WAN rules so that we can move packets seamlessly to the next gateway for UCaaS!

Can I restore backup from udm se to udm pro max? :)

But still just 1Gbe Ports... wtf? Why not all 2.5Gbe?

❤

Same CPU only 0,3 MHz more… 8gb of ram… double the size of unifi clients and device capacity… but „only“ 5 Gbs IDS/IPS?…not what i expected of a pro max version. Would be better with a octa core cpu and upgradeable ram… For that money i get a udm pro and one nvr with better performance for protect. but maybe there is a usecase for some people.

"Pro max" but no rgb?

Tan sexy, me encantan sus video y como explica

Wow pro max -- what about pro max ultra max pro?

Ubiquiti stock is really getting hammered. Will this company go bankrupt?

Lacks PoE....

They stay with prosumers and upgrade the 8 ports from gig to multigig. That's all. None in enterprise world need that kind of stuffs. None in prosumers world need that. To use in my home I should buy also a separate multigig switch with a PoE. That's mean more power consumption, more maintenance, more space and a lots of unused ports. What I'm waiting for is a udm multigigs with internal ONT and a PoE for the wifi spots. Actually there isn't nothing like this on the market

This device honestly doesn't make sense. How do they justify charging $230 more than the UDM Pro for simply adding a single SATA drive bay? If this thing really is intended for larger deployments it doesn't make sense. Anyone that is installing hundreds of unifi devices and thousands of endpoints is not going to stick their security system on their firewall. They are going to get a separate NVR which Ubiquiti already sells. They also aren't going to use gigabit ports or even 10GBE ports for their trunk ports. They are seriously trying to portray this as an enterprise level device all while limiting most of the ports to gigabit? They do realize that gigabit Ethernet came out in 1999 right? If they actually wanted to have this be more for enterprise they should have dropped the drive cages and the 8GBE ports. Instead they should have had a 10GbE RJ45 port, a console port, and around 6 QSFP28 ports so they could actually connect to the trunk of their network. As is this thing will bottleneck it. If they wanted to add even more ports, especially since they got rid of the drive cages, that would be fine. I don't think anyone would complain about more ports or faster ports if they didn't balloon the price doing so. Edit: They would also have redundant power supplies that are hot-swapable, again if this was intended for enterprise use. If they actually want an all in one device the drive cages are great but those 8 RJ45 ports should all have POE with probably 4 having POE++ and the other 4 having POE+. They also should be at least 2.5Gbps. The RJ45 WAN port should be 10GbE capable and the 2 fiber cages should be QSFP28. If they wanted to add more ports to this that would be fine. I would be fine with more SFP+ cages or more 2.5GBE ports or another RJ45 WAN port for a backup WAN connection but I just layed out where they should have gone with it keeping the port count and type the same.

Not worth the money, they probably had too many SE bords in stock and this is a way to get rid of them. Such a small upgrade for the price

3 gig wan 😢 to my measly 1 gig wan 😂

Keep the unreleased devices coming!

3.5 to 5gbps I wouldn't say is 'significant'. Not even if someone were to use it in a small to medium business. This is a unifi shill guy.
