D-Link Ethernet Switches Reviews

We use the solution for networking for internal computers and VPN.

The solution is cost-effective with easy management.

The solution could add extra ports.

I have been using D-Link Ethernet Switches for a decade

I rate the solution’s stability a ten out of ten.

The solution is easy to scale.

100 users are using the solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

The initial setup is easy and takes less than a day to complete. One person is enough for the solution’s installation.

The product is cheap.

D-Link is not unified, whereas the Ubiquiti switches are unified.

D-Link is stable and cheap.

Overall, I rate the solution a 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 primarily use it for Switches and Access points/Routers , and it's often chosen due to its general affordability.

We have a lot of options now against single requirements, options such as smart managed and fully managed Switches. Also, prices are comparatively on the lower side.

The solution's pricing is very reasonable.

The product has the capability of connecting switches and also 10 gig ports, which is very economical for any kind of business. If you find, say, a model in Cisco, the price would be double for the same features.

The solution is stable.

It's easy to set up.

The solution can scale if necessary.

It's easy for us to provide a demo to clients for a couple of weeks if they would like to try out the product.

The product is simple to manage.

The solution needs better local support. The SLA needs to be better.

I work with the solution from time to time. Sometimes we continuously work on D-Lonk, and sometimes there is a pause for three or four months. In total, it's likely been a few years at this point.

The stability has been pretty good so far. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. it's very reliable and the performance is good.

Typically the solution is used in medium-sized companies. Hotels, for example, are typical clients, as they have a limited budget for this type of technology.

The solution can scale if the company needs it to.

As service providers, we are able to provide support to our clients.

The local support needs to be better. If we have expert engineers in the local market, it would be helpful. For example, while I cannot disclose any sales details when Cisco gave us our switch, there was a little bit of end customer to support from them at that particular time. During that particular time, if the customer sees any problem, Cisco would mitigate that problem. I don't know if D-Link has the same SLA type or not. Right now, it seems that the support just isn't as good as Cisco and what they offer upfront.

I haven't required any technical support from D-Link as it's easy to manage as a technical person. It wouldn't be easy for a typical end-user, however, we can provide support. 

Neutral

We also work with Cisco or Juniper switches. Typically the solution we go with is chosen by the client.

The initial setup is better than other switches as it has a multiple-degree interface. The CLI is just one. Not all the switches have a degree interface, whereas most of the D-Link switches do, at least, in terms of the managed switches.

We provide maintenance and support to our clients as needed.

We help our clients implement the switches. We do the initial setups for them as needed.

I am working on the technical side. 

D-Link switches are better priced as compared to other brands. This is its edge in the market. The affordability is great.

We evaluated ASUS and TP-Link.

Our company does not have a business relationship with D-Link.

I have a model in D-Link and DGST6C0S, and this is a 48-volt switch.

The version of the switches depends on the customer. We don't always work with the latest version. It depends on the customer's requirements.

This is the best solution as compared to other options - and that includes Juniper, Cisco, and NETGEAR. Out of those, D-Link is the best.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

We use it to connect to some servers in our network. We also use a firewall from Sophos.

Its integration is the most valuable.

It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud.

I have been using this solution for the last one year.

It is not stable.

We have around 100 users of this solution.

We try to resolve issues by ourselves.

We used a switch from Nortel.

We don't install it ourselves.

The supplier did the installation.

I would not recommend this solution. We might not keep on using it in the future. I would rate D-Link Ethernet Switches an eight out of ten.

We are using this solution to expand our network from different departments and we use fiber to make this connection.

The solution is easy to use.

In a future release, the solution could improve by being more secure and allowing the configuration of each port.

I have been using D-Link Ethernet Switches for approximately 10 years.

The solution is stable and I have not had an issue since using it.

D-Link Ethernet Switches is scalable.

We have approximately 400 users using this solution in my organization.

The installation is simple, it takes approximately 10 minutes. All you need to do is install the equipment, connect the power, and network cable. It is mostly plug and play, you do not need to configure it. 

I did the implementation myself. We have a team of eight that does the maintenance.

There is not a license required for this solution and it is priced well.

I have evaluated Cisco Switches.

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

We use an older model, but they've been good as they've lasted all of these years.

We use them for general use. There is nothing specific about them. They're suitable for small to medium-sized businesses. From my experience, big corporations don't use them. 

The ones we currently use are unmanaged. We plan to migrate to managed switches in the near future. Security is the biggest thing I'm looking at.

The best features are the ease of configuration, how easy they are to play with, and the security features, as well.

I would say they do exactly what they're supposed to do. The two models that I've got are just fantastic. Amongst the others, some others were decommissioned just because we went to newer stuff, but I can't find anything wrong with our D-Link Ethernet Switches.

D-Link has been part of our business structure for at least five to ten years.

Stability-wise, I would give them a rating of 10 out of 10.

I would say so they are scalable. We used and purchased channels according to our needs. They are reliable. Even though we have more channels than we need, more ports, we can substitute them on a smaller setup. Although we don't use all the ports, we can move these to a tougher setup. So scalability-wise, I think it's great.

I did use TRENDnet and Netgear, but because of the availability of the product, the price, and the fact that they have a great history surrounding reliability, we chose to go with D-Link.

The initial setup is very easy — plug and play and it works all the time.

These units vary in price from $200 to one thousand dollars. They're available for a one-time purchase.

They're very competitive. I think they have an array of products that meet any price range. They have cheaper ones, and they have more expensive ones. I believe the unmanaged ones are very affordable.

D-Link Ethernet Switches are worth it. The easier the configuration is the better it'll be. Just make sure they meet security best practices and standards.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give D-Link Ethernet Switches a rating of nine — they're top picks.

We are selling this solution to our clients. They use it for switches and WiFi. 

The product just works and it is fairly cost-effective. They have good stability and they're also good on the pocket. On the switches, for the application that we deploy them for, we find they're okay. For the simple networks, they just work fine.

The initial setup is straightforward. 

The solution doesn't really have any weak points. 

They need to have some more high-end switches. It would be great to have a few different options. If they can introduce a line that is almost equivalent to the Cisco 9300 or thereabouts. I'm talking about that type of class.

We've used the solution for a very long time. We've dealt with it since the beginning of our company.

The solution is stable and the performance is quite good. For all the deployments that we've done, we've not had any issues in terms of performance. They work well. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable. 

We have more than ten clients using the solution. 

Most of the time, we are able to support our clients just fine on our own. It's only occasionally when we need to get down to firmware from their website and in most cases, we're able to get help as we need it.

We've also used Cisco in the past. We've used both products for quite a while. 

We've used some HP switches, however, we haven't used them very much. We've only dealt with a few. 

The initial setup is very straightforward and simple. We didn't find the process to be overly complex or difficult. 

Usually, the deployment doesn't take very long. It's a quick implementation.

We've done deployments in the past for our clients. 

The price of the product is quite reasonable. 

Most of the solutions we have do not have any licensing requirements. You just buy the product.

We are resellers. 

I normally recommend the solution to any user who wants a good switch which is not very expensive. Like Cisco, I always recommend it.

I'd rate the product at an eight out of ten.

We Plan to switch from D-Link Ethernet Switch to Cisco products. While we have so far been satisfied with the former and consider it to be more cost-effective, we do have issues with its stability.

We have been using D-Link Ethernet Switch for upwards of 10 years.

The solution is scalable. 

We have not opened any support tickets involving the solution, as we have not made use of technical support. 

We have been using the solution for upwards of 10 years and so far so good. However, the majority of our switches are 100 Mbps, so we're looking to upgrade to one gigabit.

While the solution is budget-friendly and reliable, someone who can afford it should go with a different brand.

When comparing D-Link Ethernet switches with those of Cisco, the port switch is the way to go.

I rate D-Link Ethernet Switch as a nine out of ten.
