We performed a comparison between Enterasys Ethernet Switches [EOL] and NETGEAR Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Cisco, HPE Aruba Networking, Ubiquiti Networks and others in Ethernet Switches."This is a big telco switch with six slots."
"Enterasys Ethernet Switches are stable."
"The ease of use of these switches is very good because of the Cisco CLI. If you are familiar with CLI, then you can configure the switch that way. It also has a relatively straightforward web interface. Using the web interface is good for beginners or people who aren't familiar with Cisco CLI. However, having a common command line interface method is great for some of our more advanced guys who are familiar with it."
"Out-of-the-box, it works for our main use case. When passing multicast video across the network, our technicians don't have make any changes. Then, if we do need to make configuration changes for a custom scenario, the web interface is user intuitive so it's easy to use and change."
"This switch is Layer 3, so it is a totally managed system."
"Its setup, usage, and access are most valuable. It is a very easy switch to set up."
"As far as remoting into it goes, it is very efficient because I can do it from anywhere, through the remote software. I can get right into it, I can change settings really quickly, if a customer needs to add another device into it or if I need to make changes on the VLANs that we created."
"The cloud management has just been huge for us. We have 80 clients and they all have switches... With the cloud-managed Insight ones... we know more information without having to do complicated SNMP traps. We get nice emails, we get a web interface, and we're not having to wait for our RMM tools to get SNMP traffic to notify us. We don't have to do complicated configurations."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The tool is very easy to deploy as it is a very basic switch."
"The initial setup could be made simpler."
"Enterasys could provide better support, needs an improved user interface and improved performance."
"The IGMP specifics of the web management console could use a bit of clarification."
"The scalability and warranty should also be improved."
"The tool needs to improve its network management. The tool can be also more simplified."
"Though the tool's useability is good, it has certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The technical support could be more helpful."
"It's worked for the most part, but we've had to power cycle a few devices. We've had to ask customers to manually power cycle them with the power cord, after some of the firmware updates. Their updating needs a little improvement."
"There are a lot of systems that are moving into different areas. There are a lot of cloud-based things happening. One nice feature that I've seen in other switches is artificial intelligence on the actual porting. They've got AI technology that will tell you when a port is down. They not only tell you when a port is down; they also tell you when a port is running slower. You can do a cable-fault check, or you can do other checks. It would be nice to have this information in NETGEAR. This feature might already be there in a new release of the NETGEAR's firmware, but I haven't seen it."
"Support needs to be improved."
