Cons
"The solution's web filtering feature could be improved.""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.""It could be easier to scale on managed devices.""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'd like to see a central management system included as part of their license, not as a separate purchase. Currently, we have to manage switches independently. A central portal for managing all switches and providing visibility would be great.""They need to enhance stability.""The technical support needs a lot of improvement.""Its security features need improvement."

More D-Link Ethernet Switches Cons →

"The RAM capacity offered by the product needs to be increased, as it is one area where the tool currently has some shortcomings.""Improvements are needed with respect to some of the security, especially for VPN links between vendors other than Cisco.""Stuff that I'd like to be improved is really just training and documentation because I think the feature set is full. Another improvement I'd suggest is that their new, bigger releases should be a bit more stable.""The port isolation and VLAN need to be improved.""MikroTik needs to add some features like IPS, mail security, or antivirus, et cetera.""The bulk efficiencies and the control of traffic could be a bit better.""It happens that you may find your network is down, if you reboot the switch, they come up. However, sometimes, they reset themselves. That's a big issue.""The solution does not yet offer a SaaS version."
