Netgear also sells its slightly cheaper predecessor, the MS510TXPP.
Main difference is slower ports and a reduction of PoE power from 60W per port to 30W per port. UP is PoE++60 with 4x2.5, 4x10GbE, & 2xSFP+. PP is PoE+ with 4x1GbE, 2x2.5GbE, 2x5GbE, 1x10GbE, 1xSFP+. Otherwise, both end up being 10 port switches with internal non redundant power supplies.
I have the latter switch. It's mostly okay, with no serious complaints from me. Fan is a bit noisy and it does output some heat (especially for a switch). I am slowly migrating my network away from it and migrating my PoE devices where I can. Managed PoE is nice, but I've only ever used the management to reboot a failed device. Since I upgraded my primary wifi access point to a Ruckus H510 about a year ago, I've never had to do that.
Of course, with my luck, the moment I migrate away from a managed PoE switch, Ruckus' engineering will go down the tubes and I will miss managed PoE.
The H510 has been the problem solver for me for years now!

However... I have run into a lot of connectivity issues with ALL THE FIRMWARES forward of 212 released November 2020.
As the change over to WiFi6 hardware has happened at Ruckus... when I get rid of my last 2 H510s... the H550 ain't gonna work with my TRIED TESTED AND TRUE firmware 212.
Hence why I have had to SERIOUSLY consider changing WIFI vendors, after over 10 years as my GOTO.
That is disappointing to hear. I only have one access point (and live in an extremely RF dense environment - near an airport, and there are 80+ wifi access points that I can see from my computer), and the H510 has worked the best out of 5+ different access points I have tested (cap ac, netgear wax214 [engenius ews357 rebrand], netgear generic ac from walmart, raspberry pi with hostapd, etc).
I'm currently experimenting with setting up my own access point with a collection of Mediatek WiFi 6 and 6E hardware, a SBC, hostapd, and Linux kernel 5.15+ (which sadly excludes my Raspberry Pi CM4 for now, though Raspberry Pi corp is experimenting with 5.15 at the moment; needs 5.15 for 6E support using my Mediatek cards - Mediatek and Qualcomm cards still support AP mode, unlike Intel cards. QCA has been drifting away from OSS drivers, while Mediatek has been getting better). I think I'll eventually just simplify it to a single card with 2 tri-band antennas, instead of my current 3 card, 8 antenna setup.
EDIT: I guess I've drifted from the topic of this thread. Thanks for your input on the H510's trajectory. Still using it for now, but I am trying to replace it sooner than later.
