Before you buy that managed Netgear switch, be aware you may need to create a cloud account to use its full UI

Does this mean that they are then no longer "managed" devices?

There needs to be some requirement that products such as these have some kind of "fold-back" facility which can be used to emulate the "host" end of the link, so that the device can continue to be fully utilised in the event that Netgear are no longer able to support it. Or, if for some reason the purchaser objects to relying on Netgear's portal.

I'm sure many large corporates would want this capability to be demonstrated to them prior to purchase.
