How’s the ubiquiti ecosystem so far? Are the features worth the cost of Unifi gear for home users? I am on the fence deciding if I want to take the plunge for a UDM and a UniFi switch

Depends what you need. Personally I prefer PFsense as firewall and enterprise switches with real L3 capabilities. But that’s not everyone needs. The unifi ecosystem is very nice to use and makes easy to configure their equipments in one place. If you want brand new equipment the price point is fair honestly and can fits small to medium businesses easily.
