NETGEAR ProSAFE GS728TP 24-Port Gigabit PoE Smart Managed Switch - switch - 24 ports - smart - rack-mountable

Great switch with loads of potential. Love the cloud managed insight feature. Highly recommend a switch for business applications needing POE. I am using two in a business environment. One is running the computer network with POE access points. The other is handling their VoIP telephone system.

Warranty: The warranty is amazing, a lifetime warranty on a product that for us should have a 10 year lifespan is unbeatable.Price:Even without the lifetime warranty is a reason to go with it. Interface:The web interface is pretty good, it does take a little getting used to and I am not a network engineer so it may be me, but having purchased 7 over the last 4 years it has stayed consistent, no crazy latest web trends, but a solid interface, even on this newer switch (from the ones from 4 years ago) and it is easy to navigate. It is not been over done.Features:LAG / Trunking and Vlan is the main reason why I purchased these switches and they really do work flawlessly. I also like that they are not really picky with the SFP that is put in there, unlike the other more expensive big playersOverall:I will continue to use Netgear switches since buying my initial 16 port managed switch about 5 years ago. These things are workhorses as they are set up on a farm and are not in ideal conditions and continue to work in buildings through the summer with no AC but just a general fan blowing over them. We only had 1 failure that we think was due to a lightning strike and warranty was great, Simple, Fast ad we were up and running quickly.
