Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO AV4PRO vs NTI (Network Technologies Inc) NTI VOPEX-USBV-2: Comparison

Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO vs NTI (Network Technologies Inc) NTI: the usb hub ports difference

On usb hub ports the spread is 33%, Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO 2 against NTI (Network Technologies Inc) NTI 3, so NTI (Network Technologies Inc) NTI takes it.

Which should you buy, Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO or NTI (Network Technologies Inc) NTI?

Buy the Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO for broadcast and security operations needing rack-mounted, RS232-controllable switching, though it is the wrong buy for single-desk users who only need to switch between two computers and buyers needing HDMI or DisplayPort instead of DVI/VGA. It is equally the pick for control room and NOC operators managing 4-8 machines across multiple monitors. It is not the one for budget shoppers, since modular head configurations cost more than a fixed 4-port switch. The NTI (Network Technologies Inc) NTI is the one to take for facilities standardizing purchasing on the NTI VOPEX product family and industrial integrators needing NTI's specific support channel, though it is not built for desks needing audio switching (see the ATEN CS2312 instead) and modern DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort hardware. It is the wrong buy for budget-conscious buyers (the ATEN CS2312 offers similar specs for far less). Our rating of the Adder Technology Adder AdderView PRO (8/10): A serious modular KVM built for control rooms that need to scale past 4 computers, overkill for a simple desk setup. Our rating of the NTI (Network Technologies Inc) NTI (5/10): solid but overpriced for what it does versus ATEN and Avocent equivalents, worth it mainly for NTI-standardized deployments.
