I have setup Netgear M4300 series switches at 3 sites now and all have been running for a year without a single issue.
These switches have many enterprise features such as:
- Redundant Power supplies
- Advanced topologies such as spine & leaf with switch stacking
- Out of band management
- Full featured CLI and WebUI with secure login
- VLANs, layer 3 routing, DHCP, ACLs, LAGs, etc
- 24/7 pro support for very reasonable cost
- Lifetime warranty with part replacement
Some of the things these switches don't have that I have noticed on some comparable Juniper and Cisco switches.
- ECC memory
- Multi-core processing
Opinion The cost for comparable Juniper and Cisco seems to be about 3x. So, I could buy 2 sets of the Netgear and leave one on the shelf in case anything breaks and still be saving money. Just seems a bit ridiculous.
