Competitive pricing improves cost management while dual firmware needs addressing

What is our primary use case? We use NETGEAR for IT-related tasks such as connecting printers and access points. It's primarily utilized as a layer-two solution. Additionally, one of the NETGEAR switches is deployed at a retail outlet. How has it helped my organization? It is difficult to quantify the return on investment because it's an unmanaged switch. By having unmanaged switches, we don't need to spend a lot of time on configuration or management, which simplifies our operations. What is most valuable? NETGEAR offers a competitive pricing structure, which is beneficial for cost management. The precision time protocol feature caught our interest for future use in specific settings like churches, where low latency is required. What needs improvement? NETGEAR should focus on eliminating single points of failure. They should introduce features like dual firmware or dual boot that allow systems to be updated without downtime. The user experience on their website needs improvement; it's often confusing which switches support Insight cloud features. For how long have I used the solution? The NETGEAR switch has been in place for a while, approximately three to four years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? NETGEAR stability falls between a six and a seven out of ten rating. We've experienced failures such as a 16-port dying after three to four years. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? NETGEAR's scalability through its Insight Cloud system is on par with Ubiquiti's, although it must offer features beyond its competitors. Higher-end switches deploy more advanced features, such as those needed for precision time protocols. How are customer service and support? Customer service navigation is not user-friendly; the website is confusing, making it difficult to find pertinent information. There are issues distinguishing which switches support cloud features. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? Ubiquiti solutions were used previously. Their limited customer support and liability issues with their operating system prompted a change. How was the initial setup? I did not set it up personally. It was already installed when I began working with it. Since it's unmanaged, we don't have to configure it continuously, simplifying the process. What about the implementation team? The installation involved two or three individuals from a different location. What was our ROI? The return on investment is hard to gauge due to the limited management required for unmanaged switches. The switch is operational with minimal intervention, which is expected for unmanaged solutions. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? NETGEAR is reasonably priced, between a six and seven out of ten on the pricing scale. Some high-end switches required for specific advanced features, like precision time protocols, can be more expensive. Which other solutions did I evaluate? We are currently testing Grandstream switches and have explored Ubiquiti products. We also have quotations for Aruba Instant On yet have not deployed it primarily due to its dual setup options with limited cloud access. Grandstream is evolving and offers the potential for zero-trust provisioning. What other advice do I have? NETGEAR is a viable option if you require cost-effective solutions. However, ensure the product aligns with your requirements for more advanced needs and cloud features. Always look for features that differentiate it, such as AI integration or comprehensive cloud provisioning. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

Efficient routing and access control with an easy setup

What is our primary use case? We use NETGEAR Switches for networking, particularly for switch-to-switch connectivity. We connect them with core switches, especially for camera installation. How has it helped my organization? NETGEAR Switches have increased the throughput and speed of internal communication, and have improved our network efficiency. What is most valuable? The most valuable features are routing and access control. Integration is very easy compared to other brands, making configuration straightforward even for any IT professional. What needs improvement? They can improve on the commercial part, specifically the cost, as it is higher than other brands. For how long have I used the solution? I have worked with NETGEAR Switches for the last five years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? It is working fine. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? The integration part is very easy compared to other brands. The scalability of NETGEAR Switches is easy and very beneficial for us. I would rate the scalability nine out of ten. How are customer service and support? There is no issue with the support. If anything arises, we get good support. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive How was the initial setup? The initial setup was rated eight out of ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy to set up. Initially, there were some challenges because it was the first time, but later it was fine. What about the implementation team? The deployment was done in-house. We used three people: one to manage all switches, another for power connection and cabling, and a third for configuration. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? The cost of switches is higher than other brands. I would rate the price of NETGEAR Switches seven out of ten, where ten is the highest price. What other advice do I have? I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

NETGEAR Switch GS305v3 it disappoints!

I was hoping by purchasing this update version of a switch I already owned it would solve my problem, but it didn't. I have an internet system that uses 5G on the wireless side, and only 2.4Ghz on the wired connected ethernet cable side, after replacing the switch and even updating the ethernet cable, it didn't Read more

Helps with infrastructure planning and provides flexibility to leverage and connect more devices

What is our primary use case? The solution helps with infrastructure planning. If you have a point-of-sale system, you can use these switches to connect the internet devices through the right Ethernet cable. That gives more flexibility instead of trying to get the Ethernet cable in the infrastructure wall. We Read more

Has comfortable interface and offers value in terms of price and quality

What is most valuable? The interface is comfortable for the new employees of our company. I think it's not a problem because our IT team, with probably only two hundred staff, handles our network well. We've tested our recovery systems, and everything is working fine. I don't remember any accidents or issues on our IT network in the last year. What needs improvement? The tool is good, but we probably need another model with PoE connections. Our office plans to switch from analog phone lines to VoIP next year, and we need a model that supports this transition and can handle the required technology. Additionally, improved support for newer technologies like Wi-Fi would be beneficial. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using the product for five years. What do I think about the stability of the solution? I rate the solution's stability a nine out of ten. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? About 50 percent of my company relies on NETGEAR Switches. I rate its scalability a seven out of ten. How are customer service and support? I have only contacted technical support twice, and they have resolved my queries. How would you rate customer service and support? Positive Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch? I have worked with HPE and Cisco switches. We chose NETGEAR Switches because we didn't have the budget to change the equipment. How was the initial setup? One engineer was enough to handle the deployment. What was our ROI? I haven't had any issues with the product, and it's worth the money. What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing? NETGEAR Switches' pricing is low compared to other brands. I rate it an eight out of ten. What other advice do I have? NETGEAR Switches offers good value in terms of price and quality. I rate it an eight out of ten. I think this is because I suggested this solution for our company, but for a larger company, other types of equipment might be better. For example, equipment with a lifetime guarantee might be better. We don't have a contract, so I didn't rate it higher. Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Connects ATMs and links different branches and service centers

What is our primary use case? We connect the branch network through the product and integrate it into a central network. What is most valuable? The tool is crucial in our network setup, especially in our bank's customer service operations. It connects ATMs and links different branches and service centers. Each branch and service center has its network node connected through these switches. The product serves the basic needs of connecting branches. For instance, we use NETGEAR Switches for LAN connections linked to management switches like Cisco. We also use it to set up access points for ATMs. What needs improvement? NETGEAR Switches must look into their competitors since they have all available models. For how long have I used the solution? I have been using the product since December. What do I think about the stability of the solution? The tool is a stable product. We always prioritize stability, so we tend to avoid Chinese brands despite their popularity and cost-effectiveness. They often have fewer features compared to others. When presenting options to clients, we always benchmark and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each product. What do I think about the scalability of the solution? I have one customer for NETGEAR Switches. How was the initial setup? The setup process can be complex because we handle critical and non-critical projects. In the banking sector, we prioritize non-banking hours for implementation, ensuring that tasks are completed within the allocated time frame so that everything is fully operational by the next day.Based on the deployment size, our current projects typically span several days. Once the project is complete, we aim to finalize all aspects and review the report by the end of each day. What other advice do I have? In the past, some practices were non-standardized. I discovered that even the active components were not standardized. So, I've insisted on standardizing everything, including the cabling and recommended products. There are complex projects where switches have been proposed and are still under evaluation. In certain situations, I've worked with access points that didn't have those capabilities. Recently, I've also been working with Huawei on these projects, which are still under evaluation. I would rate NETGEAR Switches around eight out of ten. Their price point is very competitive compared to Cisco, where the managed series is more expensive, often around 40 percent higher.
