Comments on: Netgear Quality – Gone? http://www.jacobdybala.com/netgear-quality-gone Got a problem? Just let us know, we may just be able to help!

I find that a bit hard to believe unless these are all small, family-owned businesses. I have yet to see Netgear win over enterprise installations like 3Com / Cisco / HP have. 200+ companies serviced with Netgears only?

Over the last 6 years we have almost exclusively used Netgear switches on our 200+ companies we service. Not ONE has ever died. While I also say Cisco is rock solid, I feel 3COM is horrible. We have had multiple problems with these units. As far as rock solid and price, Netgear is the way to go. If you have more money, HP or Cisco is a fine choice. But I would stay away from 3COM. After rereading this article, you are comparing Cisco equipment with bargain basement soho Netgear equipment. You should be comparing it to at least the ProSafe equipment from Netgear. That is all we use. You get what you pay for. Netgear ProSafe = good Fortinet = good HP ProCurve = good Cisco = good but too expensive Anything SOHO product at Best Buy/Circuit City = bad 3COM = bad I couldn’t disagree with this more.

Netgear ProSafe = good
Fortinet = good
HP ProCurve = good
Cisco = good but too expensive

Anything SOHO product at Best Buy/Circuit City = bad
3COM = bad

The quality of the Netgear product keeps going down year after year. Netgear may have had some good engineers few years back where they were producing quality products specifically the SMB products, but now it is all trash. Just repackaging the Chinese kits and selling them. I have to agree with this post. The quality of the Netgear product keeps going down year after year.
