I am looking to upgrade my companies smart switches so the entire backbone will eventually be fully gigabit. As of right now I have 4 smart switches (all Netgear) and only one is fully gigabit, which is the Netgear GS724T. I would like some opinions on what type of smart switch is preferred over others before making a purchase decision. Would it be best to stick with the Netgear GS724T and replace my other 3 10/100 switches with that one so all the switches would be the same? Or would going to an entirely different brand be a better option, perhaps Cisco? I have only really dealt with Netgear smart switches so I don’t have much feedback on other brands. Any information on this topic would be great!
