The cloud key is the central part of the Ubiquiti Unifi managed network system. Ubiquiti offers a cloud version of the Cloud Key, but I guess I'm old school and want to keep my management mostly in-house. I have used this with 2 clients.
One was a couple of unifi switches and half a dozen access points spread across 2 networks connected via VPN. Setup was easy after actually reading instructions and watching a few YouTube videos.
The next client was a 2 building wifi infrastructure setup. It had 24 unifi AC Pro access points, a 5 16 port unifi PoE switches and a 24 port unifi switch spread across 2 3 story buildings adjacent to each other. Setup was super easy after the first one and each access point was configured within minutes of setup.
The cloud key is brilliant. It's PoE powered (or optionally via a AC adapter) and has a microSD slot which came with a card (for backups). The web interface and remote access capability facilitate management off-site. Device discovery works great and makes deployment so quick and easy. Monitoring lets you ID problems and overloaded access points. It's been a great troubleshooting tool. The cloud key is the management beating heart of a unifi network.
One thing to be aware of: make a backup of your cloud key!!! I found that on 2 occasions cloud keys required a reset and restore after nasty power failures. It doesn't take a long time, so do and It could save your proverbial bacon. Oh yes, when you make changes make another backup.
Going from more old-school network management to the beautifully integrated Unifi system was a bit of an adjustment and learning curve. Once I "got it" it's my first choice for installation with more than a couple of access points.

Customers say
Customers find the UniFi Cloud Key easy to set up and convenient to use, with an outstanding user interface that makes network management simple. They appreciate its ability to remotely manage networks and provide full control over network settings, while also considering it well worth the cost. The device receives positive feedback for its quality and manageability, with one customer noting it serves as a web server appliance for managing Unifi setups. However, reliability is mixed, with some customers reporting issues with the device crashing every few days.

I initially started using the Unifi products after YouTube reviews, but had a Windows PC designated as the control panel. This control panel allows you to access the whole network locally on the LAN (Unifi products talk to each other, they are not blind link conventional home user "off the shelf" stuff).MichaelPortable Control Panel for Unifi products - Bliss!

After reviewing the Cloud Keys (this one and version 2), I opted for the first version, as I don't need the additional benefits, and this cloud key becomes your new control panel. You just access it via a web browser (Windows/Linux) or Ubiquiti Mobile app, from anywhere with network access. NB: If you are at home, and you don't have internet access, you have the option to access the cloud key via its LAN IP, just select from the menu.
The web browser still shows options (the Windows PC and the Cloud Key), but since using the cloud key, very impressed.
Lastly, if you are given the opportunity to manage someone else's Unifi network, you can add them to this key.
Very impressed with the Unifi gear, was sick and tired of other brand names having gear that looked nice, GUI's looked great also, but lacked either/both the options, or seemed like they were old tech that just did the job, but don;t expect too much after that. Also, that device did not care about other devices on the network.
These Unifi devices always communicate, IE: the access points automatically change their network channels so there is no conflicts.
Start of with their Unifi Security Gateway, feed into it your WAN or ADSL service (from an existing ADSL modem as pass through), then perhaps an 8 port PoE switch or access point if you dont have wired devices. That's what I tried, and got hooked, and purchased another PoE switch, 4 other AP's, and then the cloud key.
...................I don't think I'm done yet......! LOLS!
