We performed a comparison between Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches and D-Link Ethernet 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 most valuable feature of Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches is it is easy to manage."
"Linksys switches are easy to use. You can pull the switch out of the box, plug it in, and it's going to work."
"The deployment of the solution is quite fast."
"Cisco's product is excellent and highly stable with decades of experience in switching and technology. It's a top-notch solution when your entire network operates within the Cisco ecosystem, allowing for a wide range of capabilities. However, the challenge with Cisco lies in its prioritization. When integrating with third-party solutions, like Juniper, it can be somewhat challenging, but it still performs reasonably well. Setting up Cisco switches is not a straightforward process; it's complex and requires more than simply powering them on and figuring things out as you go. You need a solid understanding of switch and stack configuration because Cisco has its unique software features. Cisco excels in vendor lock-in, meaning that if you want to combine Cisco switches with non-Cisco functionality, it can be both time-consuming and costly. While Cisco offers the most extensive capabilities, it can also be less flexible and more challenging when you want to deviate from the Cisco ecosystem."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support."
"Overall, they have a good quality product."
"Cisco Linksys Ethernet Switches are stable since no issues have been reported."
"It is easy to use and stable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It is a stable solution."
"These switches are simple and easy to configure."
"The solution is easy to use."
"These switches are very easy to install because there is no configuration."
"The product is simple to manage."
"The initial setup was very easy and user-friendly."
"The tool's fault frequency is very less."
"They need to develop better UI. Other products have a nice GUI."
"The product must be made cloud-based."
"Integration is not easy since the device component is separate."
"We are using an old version of this solution and it could be more stable."
"Some experts say that the price may be lower or that the ethernet switches are complex to set up and manage, maybe because of limited port density, supports, and quality of service, like capabilities."
"The Cisco user interfaces can be difficult to use and maintain."
"This product does not generate reports, so I would like to see something with better reporting."
"Make them tougher and more ruggedized for warmer and Industrial types of environments, and HumiSeal the main boards and internal components."
"They need to have some more high-end switches."
"It could be easier to scale on managed devices."
"The availability could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"The solution needs to improve layer 2 switches."
"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 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."
