Cons
"It could be easier to scale on managed devices.""We have issues with the stability.""The D-Link Ethernet Switches have to be replaced because they are difficult to manage and security is poor. They should add centralized manageability to make the solution better, it will allow administrators to better know what is happening on the network.""Its security features need improvement.""The technical support needs a lot of improvement.""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.""They need to enhance stability.""The availability could be improved."

More D-Link Ethernet Switches Cons →

"The pricing could be lowered.""Sometimes, we encounter the need for new technologies, especially when we require higher bandwidth. If we can't find what we need with HPE Ethernet Switches, we explore options from other vendors like Cisco.""It would be better if they improve the implementation of SD-WAN.""There is some improvement needed for the power supply of the solution.""I would like to see more updates for the solution.""There could be features for ransomware attack detection and enhanced anomaly detection to identify and mitigate anonymous traffic."". There is room for improvement in pricing. One box shouldn't require additional installations. We need a package deal with licenses that are usable for different tasks. Right now, we need a license for every additional feature, which adds up.""The solution could be more stable."
