As a brand new player in this space, it was imperative that we eliminate as many barriers as possible to introduce easier, faster, and yes, even more secure WiFi to our customers. We knew that some would balk at the idea of cloud-only, but if you look around, much of the industry is going more cloud instead of less.

We have built our cloud from the ground up with modern, scalable, redundant, and lightweight technologies that will guarantee our cloud to be available throughout the lifetime of our products. Our cloud gives our customers a plug-and-play solution that eliminates the hassle, overhead, and cost of setting up and maintaining an on-site controller.

We truly believe that once you have tried our cloud platform, you will never look back.

That being said, while we feel that most customers will be well-served by our cloud, we have mentioned already that we are working on an on-premise solution for those that demand it. However, as we have done with our Access Point and Switch products, we do not want to release it prematurely. We believe that our customers deserve an on-premise solution that works just as well as our cloud.

No local controller? No thanks. Not leaving my clients to "the hope" they don't drop support in 3-5 years or go out of business, etc.

[bamhm]

They looked at UniFi and went the wrong way! We want LESS cloud, not MORE cloud!

[AgentLokVokun]

Cloud only? pass.
When those bad bois get support dropped for them you're SOL.

[vincentdepaul]

😂 when you said ''cloud only controller" I went straight to the comments. Was not disappointed

[cygnusx]

I stopped the video immediately after "cloud only". Also, perfect shirt to wear when looking at these guys, too! 😂

[LP_]

companies need to understand that “cloud” specially when enforced is not a feature, it’s more like a stay away from me warning

[timtrainage]

Cloud only. How lovely.
Now I'm off to hug and kiss some venomous snakes.

[hoga]

What happens if they lose and regain power without an internet connection (no access to the cloud controller)?

[DrD]

Why on earth would anyone want to rely a cloud controller to control their own local network gear?

[berndeckenfels]

The multi password feature is neat, compared to spamming the wlan list with different network IDe. Somewhat like Enterprise-Login with vlan profiles.

[Verminator]

Don't even waste your time with ANY device that is cloud only. Companies who do this, in this day and age, deserve to go out of business before they can even start. I'm surprised Tom even made this Short. I expected better from Tom, he should know better.

[foobarturkey]

Would buy these but they’re cloud only :(

[ralmslb]

Appealing features, very competitive price, with a gigantic deal breaker... the cloud only aspect.
As an Enterprise, I would never use them just for that alone.

[gogosst]

A Comparison for the access points?range, users etc?

[Verminator]

Not sure when these companies are going to get it through their heads that when we own something, we want to be able to have full control over it and not rely on what may later become a subscription model for renting back the use of our own paid for equipment. Unless I can control it completely in house where I'm not relying on it working unless connected to someone else's cloud, not even remotely interested.

[TomDubYeah]

No local control is a nonstarter without local control I wouldn't even consider this device.

[ericneo]

How do they handle spikes in traffic? 5+ people jump on and start Streaming Data / Syncing OneDrive / Video Calls.

[fanshaw]

Just because people like the cloud, doesn't mean its a good idea. It just makes Alta a massive target for hackers. Having control of switches and also having "content filtering" capabilities in place provides the ultimate network snooping platform. If you're not too big to fail, your first hack will be your last.

[Mark-Harding]

Does the wifi still work locally if the internet is down?
