Read full review The focus of the equipment is SoHo, that is, small businesses or companies and even domestic use. It meets these scenarios very well. Using for large scale, they can present difficulties to maintain throughput, that is, its use in large networks can be difficult to maintain. Another issue to be taken into account is technical assistance, they are not as agile as the competition.
Read full review Pros It runs no matter how hot it gets. It's actually operated at times when it was exceeding its operational limits and continued to work. Read full review Easy to use GUI Inexpensive Available in a different number of ports. Support for copper as well as fiber ports. Available in gigabit ethernet and above speeds as well. Read full review Cons The portdensity is poor (when compared to competition) which means that the IE-switches takes more space then competition. The price is not competitive, only possible to ship/sell to customers that are set on the Brand. To say that Cisco has more features (to motivate that these units cost more then the double) is not correct, the competition solves the same stuff differently. Read full review Updates frequently End of life cycle and end of support cycle. As D-Link frequently changes its products and customer have to switch very often. Read full review Usability The features are excellent. We have been able to utilize and customize the features
Read full review D-Link Ethernet Switches are working fine and fulfill all of our organization's needs cost-wise and efficiency-wise. The rating that I gave would vary based on performance and durability. We used an open environment without an IP-rated network rack, but its working fine and we handle all weather issues carefully and manage the network smoothly. Takeaways: cost effective, handles complex networks, and very good performance.

Read full review I have given it 9 out of 10 just because of its low cost and additional features that have been an integral part of any product, otherwise, the load management part was far more inferior as compared to the Cisco switches, as those switches have a spanning tree protocol built-in.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Originally, used rack mount routers with ACLs. However, cost in terms of energy and rack space made doing NAT that way was very expensive.
Read full review They stack up great. In performance, Price, Physical style. I have been around many networks with a business that has spent three times as much on a network solution and Dlink matches up toe to toe. Has of now they are moving over to Cisco language. So this will improve the availability of engineers and support.
Read full review Return on Investment Before implementing these switches, production lines were constantly stopped due to network failures. This had a huge financial impact on the company. In addition to mitigating those flaws, you now have complete network monitoring with the joint implementation of the Cisco Industrial Network Director. Read full review Reduction of oscillations in the network caused by repeater equipment (which was replaced by D-links). Low cost of implementation and acquisition, making it possible to acquire a sufficient quantity to meet the entire park and demand. Due to its low price, we have no losses with maintenance, and can simply purchase other equipment for replacement. Read full review ScreenShots
