Cloud Gateway Max vs UDM Pro.
Desk versus rack. The Cloud Gateway Max packs the application suite and 2.5 GbE into a palm-size box; the UDM Pro brings a rack form factor, 10G SFP+ ports, and a 3.5 inch drive bay. Homes without a rack usually want the Max. Anyone building around a rack, 10G uplinks, or serious Protect storage should hold out for the UDM Pro.
