Bullshit.
It depends on what you buy from them and always has been. Their Omada line is on par with Ubiquiti, some other gear is similar to other commercial grade gear.
If you buy their cheap shit, yeah,it's cheap. But they,as most manufacturers, have a broad spectrum..
Just reflecting comments from clients. Was a computer consultant for 45yrs(now retired). They did not like them.
Yeah,does not reflect the actual situation.
Currently especially their SDN capable stuff (Omada) is far better than e.g. the Ubiquiti stuff - we are relatively surprised by the build quality for the bucks you pay,tbh. (And unlike Ubiquiti they can be run stand alone and SDN).
Not defending their China-issues btw, we absolutely recommend to all our clients that they put a OPNsense in front of it. But it does it job and has it's place in small businesses. (And tbh,their Wifi gear is good enough that I have seen it in fairly large deployments)
Sadly there's not too much alternative for that sector atm.
