Unmanaged network switches allow a user to plug and play devices immediately into your network whereas managed network switches allow for a greater control over them. They can be compared over various features like performance, cost, security and their applications.
Cost and Performance
Managed switches have greater performance than unmanaged switches but they are much more expensive as compared to the unmanaged switches as they require constant updates, software patches and the assistance of an engineer to implement them.
Security
The unmanaged switches have basic security features whereas the managed switches have major security features like the data protection, shutting down active threats, management, control, etc.
Application
The managed switches are best suited for enterprises and big institutions which have a larger scope for network or who need controlled traffic within their network.
