Got this to replace two 8-port TP-link switches. It came with 19" rackmount ears, and at about 8" inches deep, was able to fit into my shallow-chassis mini rack enclosure. It supports cloud management, but I'm just managing it using the web and telnet/ssh interfaces, which are easy to use and don't require any subscription. Has plenty of LEDs to keep you apprised of link status/link speed/PoE usage. Perfect switch for a mid-size home or small office with lots of PoE security cameras and/or PoE VOIP phones, or to serve as a workstation edge switch for a larger enterprise. No removable/redundant power supply option. Has optional grounding terminal on the back. Very cool and quiet- just a soft-humming fan, and doesn't get very warm.

The ui is very intuitive and easy to use.

Best value on the market.

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.
