Aren't Dell and Juniper much bigger then Netgear in the enterprise market? And I guess Huawei if you count Asia too.

 

This whole poll is rather limited with just those 3 options. As is this topic. Best in what regard? 

Does you mum know you're here?

Agreed.

Dell/VMWare, Juniper, Huawei, Arista, Palo Alto, Mallanox, etc could all be included just to name a few.

The poll is a little restrictive and broad at the same time, 

 

are we talking Router / Switch for Home / small office or are we talking enterprise level gear ?

 

Theres so many factors that make a good piece of networking gear, specially use case.

 

I love my ubiquiti edgerouter x and switch for home stuff, its powerful and cost effective. 

 

However enterprise id almost always go for Cisco if money wasnt an issue, however netgear is good for a more cost effective enterprise option. 

 

Ive no experience with HP / Dell, Juniper make good firewalls we use those where i work too.
