We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"These switches are very easy to install because there is no configuration.""It is very stable and reliable.""The initial setup is straightforward.""The initial setup of D-Link Ethernet Switches is very easy.""I can't find anything wrong with our D-Link Ethernet Switches.""D-Link has a good VPN feature and quality of service.""There are many good points about this product. Number one, they are very stable, and easy to configure and manage.""It's plug-and-play. There is no configuration necessary."

"The solution is stable and scalable.""I like the VLAN capabilities, and the Junos interface is easy to use.""The solution is scalable. It supports my five-year expansion plan. I could expand without a problem.""The Juniper Ethernet switch feature I find the most valuable is reliability.""In terms of performance, Juniper switches have a more user-friendly interface and more features than Cisco products.""The performance is very good.""The thing that sets Juniper apart from most switches is that when you're in the command line and you make a configuration change, you just write the command and then say "commit confirmed minutes". For example, I'm configuring a switch here in my office, which is five miles away, and I say, "commit confirmed 5". If I can't get back to the interface within five minutes to be able to make sure the switch came up, it rolls back to the previous configuration. This way I do not get locked out, or the switch doesn't get messed up because of the incorrect configuration. That's an automatic feature, which is pretty slick. I haven't seen that feature with other vendors that I've worked with. That's probably my most favorite feature.""The solution is easy to use and has good integration."

Cons
"I'd like to see a central management system included as part of their license, not as a separate purchase. Currently, we have to manage switches independently. A central portal for managing all switches and providing visibility would be great.""I would like an option to create different networks within the switch.""The solution could be cheaper.""The availability could be improved.""In a future release, the solution could improve by being more secure and allowing the configuration of each port.""They could be more stable. They were not as resistant as Cisco. After some time, some of them failed. This could be because we import quite a lot of products from different horizons, so there is no guarantee of quality. In Africa, these products don't always directly come from the manufacturer. We get these products from the Middle East or Asia. Therefore, you cannot be sure that the quality is exactly similar to what you have in Europe or America.""The solution needs better local support.""The D-Link Ethernet Switches have to be replaced because they are difficult to manage and security is poor. They should add centralized manageability to make the solution better, it will allow administrators to better know what is happening on the network."

More D-Link Ethernet Switches Cons →

"The price is in the intermediate range. It is not overly expensive, but also not cheap. It could stand improvement.""Juniper Ethernet Switches would be improved by upgrading the uplink port in EX2300 categories service from 10G to 25G.""The technical support from Juniper Ethernet Switches could be better.""They could improve the code, as there are some issues with it.""Jupiter Switches' configuration is a little difficult to understand.""Their web GUI interface needs to be a lot better, especially when compared to HP. The command line is good, but you have to know how to get around it. The GUI is clunky and very slow.""The configuration could be made simpler.""It was very difficult to get technical support, here in Egypt. There is no local support available."
