very good product its working very nicely

I added another PoE powered AP (a TP-Link EAP615 wall mounted AP) in addition to an existing ceiling mounted TP-Link EAP610, and decided it was time to ditch the PoE injector on the EAP610 and power them both through this PoE switch - a much cleaner implementation in my home network rack than a PoE injector with its "wall wart" power brick and related device. Alternatively I could have gotten a smaller capacity multi-port desktop PoE switch, but that doesn't lend itself well to the limited capacity of my little 6U network rack and its tidy cable management. While this switch is a bit pricy, I like that it integrated with my software based Omada controller (running on a Windows always-on home server). This switch allowed me to easily identify everything connected to my wired and wireless networks (home network and VLAN based IoT network) using the Omada controller software GUI. I was a bit intimidated at first by the Omada controller and whether it would let me use it with my pFsense firewall, but it ended up being pretty quick and intuitive to set up, and everything coexists nicely. I've seen some complaints about fan noise - I have this rack mounted in my unfinished basement - the fans make some noise but nothing terrible, and certainly nothing that can be heard in the rest of the house. I'm not sure if fan noise is a fair criticism here - this is a fairly sophisticated device and not something that should be mounted in a living area IMO. This is really more small to medium sized business oriented, where it is likely to reside in a network closet where noise is a given. Given the excess PoE capacity this switch gives me, I will likely add the Omada OC200 hardware controller, as having the software running on a Windows machine means I'm subject to Windows' inevitable software updates and reboots. I tend to favor hardware implementations rather than software implementations anyway - running stuff on host machines and/or VMs is not ideal IMO. I'm pleased with this device - a nice "level-up" to my increasingly sophisticated home network, and the Omada SDN is an inexpensive alternative to other SDNs.

The ui is very intuitive and easy to use.

Best value on the market.

I have a large number of network jacks and 6 POE security cameras hooked up to this switch and it has performed flawlessly. I was primarily looking for a standard gigabit switch that also had a good amount of POE capacity to add more cameras in the future and this fit the bill at a very reasonable price point versus some of the name brand competitors. I agree with other reviews that it was a bit load when it first booted up, but it then adjusted the fan speed down twice to a pretty reasonable level. You would likely be able to hear it if it were in a closet in your room, but I would expect that would always be the case for a relatively large capacity POE switch.
