D-Link Ethernet Switches Reviews

The solution is user-friendly. 

D-Link Ethernet Switches' switching capacity is low. The solution should improve stability and not support Cisco or Juniper networks. 

I have been using the product for seven years. 

I haven't contacted technical support yet. 

I have used Huawei before D-Link Ethernet Switches.

The tool's deployment is easy and takes five minutes to complete. 

D-Link Ethernet Switches are cheap products for homes and small offices. 

I rate the overall product a six out of ten. 

The tool's fault frequency is very less. 

The solution needs to improve layer 2 switches. 

I have been using the solution for three years. 

D-Link Ethernet Switches' scalability is good. We use it in 10 of our offices. 

I use Juniper switches as well. Compared to Juniper, the solution is easy to access and maintain. Juniper is complex. We use Juniper in the backbone network since its sustainability is good. Juniper is good for heavy networks and D-Link is for Wi-Fi networks. 

The tool is easy to implement. 

D-Link's team helped us with the implementation. 

D-Link Ethernet Switches' price is good. 

Users need to have some training to use the tool. I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

We use D-Link switches for our surveillance cameras, Wi-Fi, and local LAN connectivity in retail stores. 

D-Link has a graphical interface that is easy to use.  It is simple enough that our junior technicians can configure the switches. 

The availability could be improved. 

I have used D-Link switches for six or seven years.

I rate D-Link switches nine out of 10. They've proven to be highly reliable over the years. 

I rate D-Link switches eight out of 10 for scalability. 

Deploying D-Link switches is straightforward. You can install and configure a switch in around 15 minutes. There are two ways you can configure a switch. You can use the default interface on each switch or you can configure the switches with a management tool from one computer. It's much easier to use a utility because you don't have to configure each switch separately. 

You don't need a consultant or integrator. It's easy to set up the switches yourself. The technical team lays the cable and mounts the hardware, and I handle the deployment and configuration alone. 

D-Link switches are cost-effective.

I rate D-Link Ethernet switches nine out of 10. I recommend D-Link. Cisco equipment is much more expensive. All of my companies in this country are already using D-Link.

I'm both using the solution and offing it to clients. We're using it as a hub. We use it in the main office area. 

The solution is industry-standard for the most part. 

Connecting with smart ports is easy. It's plug-and-play. There is no configuration necessary. 

It is stable. 

We can't use it in a manufacturing context as there is no in-built fan that can handle the heat.

They need to make a product that would support the industrial side. We need them to support a minimum of 350 watts. 

We need them to meet our industry standard, which they do not do.

They need to enhance stability. 

I've used the solution for about ten years. 

The solution is mostly stable. I'd rate it six out of ten. It's okay. Everything is available in a smaller size, so you have to prepare the rack size. It would help if they gave us the proper mounting for this particular device. Only one CPU size is available. We need more power supply.

The solution can scale. I would rate its ability to scale seven out of ten.

We have different clients across the globe using the solution. They are enterprise-level companies. 

Technical support is pretty good. They aren't too bad.

The pricing is pretty good. It's not overly expensive. We find it affordable. We pay around $150. That's a one-time payment. There are no other additional costs. 

We are customers and end-users. 

We'd like to have some smart switches and a good management port with a different control panel. 

I'd rate the solution six out of ten. 

It's mainly for our internal network.

The main selling point for me was the pricing. Moreover, the performance is good. I haven't had any issues so far.

There is room for improvement in terms of stability.

I have been using it for a couple of months. 

I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. There might be some room for improvement.

I haven't encountered any issues scaling them so far, so it is scalable for us. We have over a hundred end users using this solution. 

We plan to expand its further usage. We use it on a daily basis. 

We used NETGEAR. It was all about pricing, so we switched to D-Link. 

D-Link was simply much more affordable.

The initial setup was quite straightforward. It took two days at most.

We took a consultant's help. We had a team of four people for deployment.

I would recommend using this solution. From my experience, D-Link is a great choice if you're looking for value for money. The features seem comparable to other solutions in my use case.  

Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten. 

We use the solution to simplify ease of use. It includes both managed and unmanaged switches. It simplifies interface configuration and setup.

I deployed the switches about two years ago for a client to network segmentation, including VLANs and other features. The clients are still using it, but there are complaints about its current features.

D-Link has a good VPN feature and quality of service. It has a great GUI. You can easily see how our network is handling traffic and other metrics. This makes network management much easier.

The solution could be cheaper.

I have been using D-Link Ethernet Switches as an integrator for 17 years. I've used it for various installations.

The product is stable. I've never experienced any freeze.

I rate the solution's stability an eight out of ten.

The solution scales well. My last deployment had 50 users using this solution.

The initial setup is straightforward. It has good documentation that is easy to read and understand. To deploy, we have to configure the solution.

The product is cheaper than Cisco.

I rate the solution’s pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive.

I recommend this solution.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We use the solution for networking purposes.

The solution's most valuable features are routing, VLAN configuration, and affordable pricing.

The solution’s security features need improvement. There should be more parameters for enhanced cybersecurity, including traffic inspection, SSL offloading, etc.

We have been using the solution for two years.

It is a stable solution.

We have deployed the solution for 100 users. It is scalable, and we might consider increasing the usage.

It is a simple solution. Thus, we can address and resolve the technical issues ourselves. For queries, we refer to online support portals, including blogs and websites.

The solution’s initial setup process is straightforward. It has a simpler user interface that makes the process easier. Although, it requires assistance from a professional if you don’t have prior experience working with it. In the case of a proper network design, deployment takes a day. However, it largely depends on network size. It took a week for us to complete it.

We deployed the solution in-house with the help of a network engineer who could execute it fast enough.

The solution's cost is affordable.

The solution is suitable for small and medium enterprises. It is scalable, user-friendly, and has enough functionality and fair pricing. I rate it an eight out of ten.

These switches are simple and easy to configure.

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.

We used these switches for a couple of years. 

We had small switches, and they didn't give us much trouble. After some time, some of them failed, but this could be because we import quite a lot of products from different places, so there is no guarantee of quality.

We had 50 users of this solution.

We don't always have a direct representative of these brands in Africa. We have a few companies that import the equipment and sell them, but we don't have the same kind of technical support that you get in Europe, America, or Asia. We rely more on our own technical staff when there are problems.  When we cannot solve a problem, we have to put them aside and buy new equipment.

We are now using Cisco switches. We used the small models of D-Link Ethernet Switches, but they were replaced with Cisco switches. D-Link Ethernet Switches are not as sophisticated and resistant as Cisco switches.

They are easy to install. It takes less than 20 minutes.

They were cheap. We were not paying for any license.

I would recommend these switches. We choose solutions based on what we have in the market. We don't focus on any specific brand. It depends on factors like the funds available, the trend in the market, and the availability of the product. We don't always have Cisco available in this market, and when that's the case, we may go for some other brand. This is mainly due to the situation of our own computer equipment market. It has been quite some time since I last saw D-Link in the market because we have not been buying switches.

I would rate D-Link Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.
