Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the network switch.

The VLAN stuff isn’t very intuitive, and it's spread between several different menus. The higher-end features have never been very reliable, and are a pain to configure due to lack of browser support.

It's worked extremely well; so, when we expended into a new section of the office, we decided to use this smaller version to expand our network.
Fortunately, the performance of this GS728TP is just as good as the original switch - and our phones and network are continuing to run perfectly.
Here are the things we like about these switches:
1) The performance is excellent. We're running a total of 21 IP phones as well as computers and servers through these two switches without any hick-ups.
2) They auto-detect whether a device needs power or not, and automatically supply power if needed. There isn't any problem with running PoE and non-PoE equipment through the same switch.
3) The GUI isn't perfect; but, it isn't bad either. I can only access it using Internet Explorer in 'Compatibility Mode', so keep that in mind - Chrome doesn't work at all.
Even though I'm definitely giving the router a well-deserved 5 stars, there are some issues to be aware of:
1) The VLAN stuff isn't very intuitive, and it's spread between several different menus - which makes it even more complicated. Even the Netgear support people had trouble figuring out what the settings should be to get it working...
2) This switch absolutely did NOT like Netgear's own Prosecure UTM-9 Router. Originally, I thought the problem was with the switch; but, we ended up moving over to a Peplink Balance 305 Router, and the problems completely went away. With the UTM-9, our IP phones were almost unusable with this switch; but, they're working better than ever with the Peplink 305. (We did work with Netgear support on this, but they couldn't figure out what the problem was either.)
I know this switch is expensive (at least compared to the switch we were using); but, if you're looking to get good bandwidth, combined with reliable PoE capabilities, I would highly recommend it. This has been well worth the money for us - and we're able to discard all those irritating power bricks that came with the phones. :)
Now onto the bad stuff. The fans are incredibly LOUD. I took the cover off the switch wondering what was making the noise and it's not the electronics it's completely isolated to the two small fans. All the fans do is trickle heat out of the switch which is not a very hot unit to begin with. It seems like the fans were an afterthought as they hardly blow at all. They look like they are 45mm fans and once I unplugged them the switch was dead quiet. So I'm thinking there must be a pretty simple way to replace these fans if one wanted. I asked NetGear support and they do not have replacement fans to just send to me, so they said you'll have to send back RMA the entire switch. Seems unnecessary to me. I think I'll just buy some nice aftermarket fans if I can or just unplug them. It's not a hot unit and the fans do very little as is.
Understand that when a network switch fails to work, it is VERY disruptive, and even if it's replaced via Netgear's deceptive Lifetime Replacement Warranty, the cost ultimately is far more to you the installer and/or the customer in lost business continuity. The Netgear Prosafe products are JUNK. They might be a few dollars cheaper than comparables, but rest assured it will fail (again, 80% for us!), and it will cost you more in time and aggravation, and you'll look like the fool for recommending Netgear Prosafe products.
I've been in the networking business for decades, and take it from me, buy Netgear products and you WILL regret it. There is better for only a few dollars more, and even some manufacturers out there that are cheaper and better. Netgear has lost their way in identifying what matters the most - the paying customer.
