We performed a comparison between D-Link Ethernet Switches and Meraki MS Switches based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Ethernet Switches solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is scalable."
"The initial setup was very easy and user-friendly."
"D-Link has a graphical interface that is easy to use. It is simple enough that our junior technicians can configure the switches."
"It is very stable and reliable."
"I can't find anything wrong with our D-Link Ethernet Switches."
"D-Link has a good VPN feature and quality of service."
"These switches are simple and easy to configure."
"The main selling point for me was the pricing. Moreover, the performance is good. I haven't had any issues so far."
"Easy to set up, stable switches with good accessibility that makes it quicker to identify problems, find solutions, and fix problems."
"We find value in its ability to enable cloud management and visibility. They are also easy to deploy. It's very convenient because you can see who is accessing, what type of UI system they're using, what applications they're using, the bandwidth, and more."
"Easily installable, with good scalability, stability and technical support."
"Console of the dashboard is well integrated."
"I have found the solution to be stable."
"I like the support, and basically, that's why I'm using Meraki by Cisco."
"The most valuable features of Meraki MS Switches are ease of use, and we can find technical knowledge easily."
"The dashboard and the interface, in general, are good features."
"In a future release, the solution could improve by being more secure and allowing the configuration of each port."
"The solution needs to improve layer 2 switches."
"Its security features need improvement."
"They need to have some more high-end switches."
"The availability could be improved."
"They need to enhance stability."
"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."
"We have issues with the stability."
"The switch capacity needs to be improved."
"Management from a single dashboard is what I want to see from Meraki MS Switches."
"We have dealt with a few minor bugs."
"The solution does not fit all use cases."
"On the switches, I don't know a whole lot that I would change. Different levels of switches have different layer 2 and layer 3 functionality. It's always nice to have layer 3 functionality across the board if you can, but that drives up the cost. They've got different lines for different amounts of layer 3 functionality. However, on their models that do include full layer 3 access, when you choose to use layer 3 on a switch, it doesn't have the full functioning routing capabilities of an MX firewall. It can be limiting in some of those aspects."
"Less flexibility than in some other solutions."
"The product demonstrates poor price per performance when compared with its competitors."
"It is not compliant with the requirements of specific industries that want to set it up within a particular region or country."
