its not like snap is making them! they are probably every bit as reliable as any comparably priced switch from netgear, cisco, planet etc. difference being, you can make money, front or rear ports, rack mountable, why wouldnt you use them?

i have 2 or 3 for sub-systems/sub racks and all have been fine. for my core switches i am sold on cisco SG300 high power POE.
