It's best suited for small offices 10-25 users. Any more and its best to move away to a more higher tier. It will be less appropriate for a mid level company with a large staff. It's best for a small business with a limited budget and less strenuous security functionality.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
It has the typical firewall functions you'd expect in an all in one unit.GUI interface is easier to use by less technical users.The extra features such as VLANs are nice to have.Incentivized
Easy to use GUIInexpensiveAvailable in a different number of ports.Support for copper as well as fiber ports.Available in gigabit ethernet and above speeds as well.Incentivized
More switchports would be welcome, although this would increase cost and sizeFaster wireless would improve performanceAn SPF port would allow uplinking to more business-class switchesIncentivized
Updates frequentlyEnd of life cycle and end of support cycle.As D-Link frequently changes its products and customer have to switch very often.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
The features are good. The support is good. The resources to deploy, manage, and operate it are good. Customer's feedback and testimonials are good. The updates in terms of zero day vulnerabilities are good and timely. But, I still give an 8 out of 10 because I think the pricing, licensing, and GUI can be improved more.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
Cisco's power really stems from its brand reputation and honestly not much else. No one ever got fired for deploying Cisco, and that's why it stands out. The Cisco Small Business RV Series is no exception there; the unit is built well and does the job. However, much more powerful alternatives for routers are out there—the biggest competitor being Ubiquiti. The UniFi routers are significantly more powerful in all regards, including routing speed, IPS/IDS speeds, and VPN functionality. Support for those is admittedly rather lackluster though, so if your network is critical, you are effectively self-insuring your equipment. For some that may be fine, but for others, that risk of extended downtime is just not worth it.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
Very good ROIMost products have a CLI that is easy to use and understand.Very large feature set. Cisco offers numerous open standard and proprietary protocols and options in their code that other vendors lack parity with.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
