## Netgear Switches Reviews
  ### 1. Looking for smart/managed switches? Stick with Cisco SMB

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Patrick P. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 27, 2020

**What do you like best about Netgear Switches?**

Depending on model, Netgear smart managed/fully managed switches can be a bargain.  They're generally 3/4 to 1/2 the price of comparable Ciscos. Lifetime Warranty with next business day replacement at this price point is impressive.

**What do you dislike about Netgear Switches?**

Management interface is painful to use.  If you have trouble, be prepared to visit the community forums because it's usually quicker to get user to user help than from Netgear. About that lifetime warranty -- they do honor it, but it's a bit of a crutch since support isn't great, instead of being able to work out an issue with support, you end up RMAing a device, which may or may not be the fix for your issue.  Lastly, I have never had switches with more dead ports than GS724T switches (thankfully, not too many of those in use at client sites anymore).

**Recommendations to others considering Netgear Switches:**

I would recommend Cisco SG series switches any day over Netgear ProSafe equipment, but if price is paramount, would go with ProSafe switches before going with dumb switches to save a buck.

**What problems is Netgear Switches solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As mentioned above, problems with the management interface, support, and reliability.
