    While the Ubiquiti are much easier to manage remotely through their cloud controllers, the Netgear is much more reliable in harsh environments than the other simple switches we use, as they seem less susceptive to high temperatures and humidity. (TP-Link and Zycel are the other …

    NETGEAR
    Great for entry-level networking, and the cost-to-quality ratio is great for the average consumer. I've used them in a crawl space that is not climate controlled, and it just works and provides the switching capabilities I need. These are great for users that don't have a ton of experience and can simply try to troubleshoot with a simple power cycle.

    Cons
    NETGEAR
    • Better advertisement about advanced enterprise features. My experience is with smaller switches and not with the fully managed switches.
    • Additional management tools to monitor multiple switches in the environment. Similar to Cisco Network Assistant.

    Return on Investment
    NETGEAR
    • Keeps our investment in infrastructure connections low because they can provide those connections.
    • A lower cost alternative to adding in wall connections.
    • Sometimes they can cause collision issues due to traffic across them.
