We all have known companies like Cisco and HP making various types of managed switches for businesses, data centers etc...professional segment for many years, but in recent times I noticed that companies like netgear, tp-link, d-link and similar are now manufacturing their own series of managed switches as well. How does that compare to Cisco's switches? I mean they are much cheaper, but are they really better? How's the configuration, security and reliability? I don't plan to buy any of the above I'm just curious about the subject and maybe some network professionals might have better insight into things.
Thanks for info
