Alternative to Meraki

Looking for suggestions on an alternative to a Meraki setup. Trying to get out from under the steep licensing cost.

Medium size nonprofit at a single location. Fiber internet. MX84 running the show, with Ubiquiti switches making up the bulk of network with a handful of unmanaged switches. Unifi APs providing public and private WiFi access throughout the campus. VoIP phone system as well as IPCams. Total of 8 APs and 14 managed switches. VLANs for LAN, VoIP, IPCams, and Guest WiFi.

We got a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro and I have been working with it for about a week. The UDM pro just does not seem stable enough yet to pull off what the Meraki setup does with ease. It especially struggles with our windows domain controller.

Just looking for other alternatives to save on costs.
