Overall Satisfaction with D-Link Ethernet Switches

I use D-Link Ethernet Switches for support and access in places where my main switch stacks are not covered. The equipment I use belongs to the business line, is manageable, PoE and has a high workload capacity. They are efficient equipment that meet both emergency and daily demands. Adaptable to various environments.
  • Access control via VLANs
  • Relatively easy configurations
  • Application of functional QoS
  • Poor Graphical Interface
  • Switching between PoE and direct power does not work well, causing several reboots on the device
  • Slightly poor equipment housing quality
  • Its installation is incredibly simple, even a layman on the subject is able to operate it.
  • Equipment compatible with several other makes and models.
  • Possibility to work with IPv6 is a feature that is extremely important for us, and the equipment has it.
  • 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.
For the use we have proposed for DE-Links (use in locations with difficult access, or for expanding the network inside rooms), its main advantage is its low price. It has a large part of the competitors' functionalities, of course, in a simpler way, but serving efficiently and at a lower price.

Do you think D-Link Ethernet Switches delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with D-Link Ethernet Switches's feature set?

Yes

Did D-Link Ethernet Switches live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of D-Link Ethernet Switches go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy D-Link Ethernet Switches again?

Yes

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.
