Agreed that it is not not fair to compare Belkin to
Avovent/Raritan. You hit the nail on the head by detailing what I
was trying to convey in my very brief post. Someone saying, “I
just need a KVM, why can’t I buy [insert dirt cheap option here]?
Why do I need to spend $x,000?” Well for some applications, it
might be fine, but it all depends on the application of said
device and how much frustration you’re willing to live with.
On another note, where’s our Friday Funny? TGIF!

Across classes of equipment, you will typically get what you pay
for. Across classes, as opposed to within the class.
That is to say, MOST servers that cost $1000-3000 are different
enough from the ones costing $6000-$15000 that the sentiment is
correct.
However, *within* the same class of system or machine or device --
within the tier 1 level, or within the tier 2 level -- it is
possible for cost alone to be insufficient as a determinant of
quality or value.
I'd never compare a Belkin with an Avocent, except maybe at the
very lowest end of the Avocent line. TrendNet, Belkin, and a
few others play in that consumer/SOHO space, and within that space
price is not always the differentiator.
While Avocent and Raritan are much more price comparable today,
years ago, Cybex/Avocent was better priced that Raritan AND of
better quality. But they were in the same enterprise level
class... :)
And I still greatly prefer Avocent.

LOL, +1
Unlike the Cisco/HP discussion, I believe most of us (who manage
more than 3 or 4 servers via one device frequently) will likely
concur that in the area of KVM, you will usually, generally get
what you pay for....I am open to evidence supporting the contrary.

Yep. Although, Belkin has gotten a little better in recent years.
A little.
