I need to replace a bunch of ancient Cisco stuff. Also looking at other brands like Dell, Juniper and Extreme

Only used Unifi and their stuff is pretty solid. Better than Meraki where you never truly own your hardware.

What do you mean? I have a Unifi 24 poe switch at home and I feel like Ubiquiti could do whatever they wanted with it. If I had more time I would have chosen some device with OPNSense.

UniFi doesn't need a license, you just buy the switch and install the network app. Meraki will totally turn off your network if you ever stop paying for a license.

You're just renting their hardware until you stop paying for the license, then it's an expensive paperweight.
