Used for: 3–6 months
Forty-eight ports, one rack unit, and nothing has needed a thought since!
Used for: 3–6 months
Rock solid once it is out of earshot
Four months in and the only mark against it is the noise, which in a small office is genuinely intrusive. Ours has been moved into a cupboard and everyone is happier for it.
Used for: 1–3 months
Solid metal, front-facing ports, and it has not put a foot wrong yet
Used for: 6–12 months
One unit did away with a whole second rack
Loud enough that it wants a room of its own
Forty-eight ports of PoE in one unit meant the second rack could go entirely, and the ports are all on the front where you can reach them. Nine months in, no failures, no dropped links, and the power budget has taken every access point and camera we own without complaint.
Used for: Less than a month
Fits a half-height cabinet with the ears aligned
Fan noise is not remotely subtle
Went into a half-height cabinet with about two centimetres to spare and the ears line up properly, which is not always the case at this size. Configuration was done from the firewall in minutes and every access point powered up first time!
Used for: 3–6 months
Managed from the same place as the firewall
Much less useful if you do not run their firewall
Adopting it into the firewall took one click and every port then appeared in the same place as everything else. That alone saved an afternoon
Used for: Less than a month
Switching has been flawless from the first hour
The standalone web interface is very thin
No complaints about the switching, which has been flawless from the first hour. My reservation is that a great deal of what you are paying for only makes sense inside their ecosystem, and if you were hoping to run this as a standalone managed switch the web interface on the box itself is much thinner than you would expect.
