    Essential For Unifi Networks, Management Heart Of A Unifi Deployment. Outstanding User Interface
    The cloud key is the central part of the Ubiquiti Unifi managed network system. Ubiquiti offers a cloud version of the Cloud Key, but I guess I'm old school and want to keep my management mostly in-house. I have used this with 2 clients.One was a couple of unifi switches and half a dozen access points spread across 2 networks connected via VPN. Setup was easy after actually reading instructions and watching a few YouTube videos.The next client was a 2 building wifi infrastructure setup. It had 24 unifi AC Pro access points, a 5 16 port unifi PoE switches and a 24 port unifi switch spread across 2 3 story buildings adjacent to each other. Setup was super easy after the first one and each access point was configured within minutes of setup.The cloud key is brilliant. It's PoE powered (or optionally via a AC adapter) and has a microSD slot which came with a card (for backups). The web interface and remote access capability facilitate management off-site. Device discovery works great and makes deployment so quick and easy. Monitoring lets you ID problems and overloaded access points. It's been a great troubleshooting tool. The cloud key is the management beating heart of a unifi network.One thing to be aware of: make a backup of your cloud key!!! I found that on 2 occasions cloud keys required a reset and restore after nasty power failures. It doesn't take a long time, so do and It could save your proverbial bacon. Oh yes, when you make changes make another backup.Going from more old-school network management to the beautifully integrated Unifi system was a bit of an adjustment and learning curve. Once I &quot;got it&quot; it's my first choice for installation with more than a couple of access points.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must-buy for Unifi device owners
    Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017
    Pattern: Cloud KeyVerified Purchase
    This device is a must if you run any Ubiquiti Unifi device. It is essentially a tiny always-on web server that runs the Unifi Controller software. Trust me, you'll need this. Don't be bothered with running the same (and free) software on a Windows PC. The PC version is very unstable, and it is hard to set up. As of this writing, the PC software does not work with JRE 9. I had to downgrade Java to version 8 on my Windows 10 PC. The PC software also requires manual opening up ports on Windows Firewall, but there is no documentation on which ports need to be opened. Even after much hassle to get it working, it will only run for a while before crashing. This device here, on the other hand, provides the same functionality, but it is plug-and-play. It is always on. Rock solid for a week since I started it up. It manages all of the Unifi devices on the same network. Since it is always on, it collects statistics of each device and connected client. For its price and what it does, it is a great value.

    Pattern: Cloud KeyVerified Purchase
    DISCLAIMER: Ubiquiti sent me a Cloud Key free of charge if I agreed to write a review.

    I’ve been using the Cloud Key for a few days now. My impression of it so far is very positive. As expected from the UniFi line, it pairs nicely with my Unifi Security Gateway, PoE+ switch, and AP PRO. As of this writing (07-09-2016) my only minor issue with the Cloud Key is the lack of advanced options in the controller UI, though that is more of the controller firmware than the Cloud Key itself. Most of the advanced options are already available in the controller beta firmware so I’m confident Ubiquiti will really flesh out the capabilities of the Cloud Key and their whole UniFi line.

    For those that don’t know, the Cloud Key is a small SoC (system-on-chip) that can run the UniFi controller software. It’s a GREAT alternative for those that don’t have a server racked or don’t really have a need for one. For those that do, just run the UniFi controller on the server. The GUI runs smooth, provides a lot of nice stats for your LAN/WAN, and makes basic management of your other UniFi devices a breeze. It even comes with a MicroSD card for those that are comfortable with the CLI and would like to save configs/other miscellaneous things to it. Speaking of which, if you are familiar with Linux you will feel at home on the CLI since almost all of the UniFi devices are running a Debian derivative (at least from what I can tell).

    TL;DR – Do I recommend the Cloud Key? If you don’t have a server racked, 100% without question. It’s a great little tool for the price (<$100). I’ve had no issues with the device and it’s made this network engineer very happy. I love when things are simple, cheap (in price, not quality), and just work.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Helps create a very robust network if you're patient
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 30, 2019
    Pattern: Cloud KeyVerified Purchase
    Purchased to connect three UBNT devices together (two lite ACs and a Security router). It's really straight forward to set-up, as long as everything works as expected and you've methodically thought out each step.

    However, in my experience, getting to that point requires that you try and fail 5 times to set-it-up first. Pro-tip is to read the forums and guides first, connect the router first, and then connect the cloud Key, then the Wi-Fi and set-up all in one room with a computer handy.

    The good news is that it, and the other UBNT devices, creates a robust network that surpasses other single unit devices (in my case replacing an Apple Airport Extreme).

    Whilst you don't need the Cloud Key for a good network (you can use a web key instead), I like the power of local control.

    ** Pros **
    - Very reliable
    - Lots of control on offer for your network
    - Small device footprinnt
    - Low power footprint
    - Includes power over Ethernet adapter
    - Includes SD card for back-ups
    - Software is robust and regularly updated
    - Easy to factory reset if you screw it up

    ** Cons **
    - Requires patience and consideration to set-up
    - power plug is unsightly and awkward (better to have a powered switch for PoE)

    ** Overall **
    Very glad I invested into UBNT and this Cloud Key, but wish I'd spent more time reading and preparing before stepping off the deep end.

    Il a été très facile de migrer étape par étape du PC vers cette Cloud Key. La clé semble d'une stabilité sans faille, coupée avec des UAP AC PRO et toutes les fonctions sont assurées en permanence sans coupure, notamment le portail captif. A ce propos, le portail captif pour créer le réseau d'invité est vraiment bien conçu, pas besoin de routeur en amont pour jouer sur les VLAN, le réseau est complètement isolé par défaut avec des subnets dans les restrictions contrairement au LAPAC2600 de Linksys. Dans l'interface de configuration vous avez même un système de chat intégré qui vous permet de poser les questions directement à un technicien.

    Love it. Works really well. Only thing is that it's not really beginner friendly. There is a learning curve to all ubiquiti products, but once you're over that hurdle, they work REALLY well.

    When configuring this for the first time, watch the spelling on the url, it's unifi with an "i" not a y.
