Enhanced network efficiency through features and demonstrate minimal downtime
One of the issues is the range of their products. They need to increase it. For example, if I want a 12-port switch that is fully managed, it's not easy to find. So, I have to opt for a 24-port switch that is fully managed, which might not be necessary as I only need 12 ports. So if they could increase the range of the switches in regards to the features, and the number of ports, that would be beneficial. So, that's the only potential improvement. The switches are perfect otherwise. Ideally, 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.

Rock-solid connectivity and WiFi coverage
It's a hardwired solution so our customers do not have to use a mesh network — I really dislike that. It causes too much delay, etc. As with any product, there is always room for improvement. A good router is not cheap. A good switch is not cheap. Let's say somebody develops a new frequency — 7GHz. Well, in that case, you'd need a special router. I have some customers who request Cat7 for their homes. That's way too much. So I'd say, "What are you going to run over here? Let's just run fiber optics. Then the customer will respond, "Well, I read somewhere and other people have told me that if you're going to wire your house, go with Cat7." I'd say, "Sir, you're not going to even utilize Cat5e." I use Cat5e, and believe it or not, I can pump at 10 gigabits per second with Cat5e. The same was true with ePoE — now we have ePoE+. Some switches with ePoE cannot supply as much juice as the modern ePoE+, which requires much more power. The basic switch doesn't have the capacity to deal with that. The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic. It pretty much just covers some basic IP information, defense, and how to change the administrator password — that's pretty much it. I am a dealer, I shouldn't have to contact support for basic answers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have no complaints about the stability or reliability of D-Link Ethernet Switches."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup of D-Link Ethernet Switches is very easy."
"D-Link has a graphical interface that is easy to use. It is simple enough that our junior technicians can configure the switches."
"There are many good points about this product. Number one, they are very stable, and easy to configure and manage."
"I can't find anything wrong with our D-Link Ethernet Switches."
"The most valuable feature is VLAN."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
 

Cons

"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."
"Currently, D-Link Ethernet Switches are often not used in large data centers due to issues with performance and scalability."
"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's web filtering feature could be improved."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"For high-end switches, the price could be 5% to 10% cheaper."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"They need to have some more high-end switches."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product is very affordable, especially compared to Cisco."
"There is not a license required for this solution and it is priced well."
"It has a good return on investment. It has indeed saved us resources significantly."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"D-Link Ethernet Switches' price is good."
"The D-Link Switches are cheaper than Cisco."
"It is an affordable solution."
"The solution is budget-friendly"
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
