Does Netgear have a dashboard like UniFi or Mareki? I use devices from all 3 vendors at work, but Netgear is the only one without a dashboard.
I know Netgear have Smart Control Center and ProSAFE Utility, but even then, some of my Netgear switches are visible from the Smart Control Center, and some are only visible from the ProSafe Utility.
May be Insight is what I'm looking for but this is a paid subscription.

Both UniFi and Meraki are by design cloud (and in the case of UniFi cloud or local controller) based and come with limited or no local Web UI - that's why they have a 100% cloud-only model coverage. Meraki isn't free either, for example, a one-year wireless license list price is 150 USD and a three-year switch license list price is 400 USD for example.
The Netgear cloud manageable devices can be managed either locally, with Insight this starts after the first free year is included with most of the the products at less than 10 USD/year for Insight Premium resp. 22 USD/yer for Insight Pro (multi tenancy, some segregated multi-tenancy and multi-user rights assignment, Multi-customer- and multi-site options) what makes it certainly very affordable, especially when considering that only users which need or want it have to pay the (small) add-on cost.
