Use case: homelab / small business. Single switch. No failover topology. Will add PoE+ switch later for cctv.
Netgear XS724EM appears to be the lowest cost option (still pricey) for 24-port BaseT 1-2.5-5-10gbps. Released in early-2018.
Has anyone had positive/ negative feedback on Netgear or this switch in particular?
$1,249.99 Amazon price (sold by Amazon.com which is a Netgear certified partner)
Netgear also provides lifetime product replacement as well as free firmware updates.
I considered Cisco products but they are much more expensive, require purchase through authorized dealers, plus purchase of additional support license/packages to be elegible for firmware updates.
Cisco SG350XG-24T 24-Port 10GBase-T Stackable Managed Switch
Is there any other option that I am not considering?
Is Cisco really worth the additional price premium when I’m searching for nearly plug-and-play functionality and VLAN?
I’m going to make the Netgear purchase unless advised otherwise... thanks!
