Their product lines are already based on cloud controllers, and despite some minor quirks (java, adobe flash…), the software is reasonably polished. But their main selling point are cost and hardware quality, their hardware is at the same time amazing and cheap, and the controller software is free. They sell like water around here.
Very recently I saw the deployment of a network with some 12 APs using Cisco hardware, estimated cost ~$20k (without the software licenses), and it ended up not working very well. The same setup would cost around $1500 with Ubiquiti, and zero software licenses.
