We performed a comparison between D-Link Ethernet Switches and MikroTik Routers and 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."D-Link has a good VPN feature and quality of service."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is a stable solution."
"The main selling point for me was the pricing. Moreover, the performance is good. I haven't had any issues so far."
"These switches are simple and easy to configure."
"It's plug-and-play. There is no configuration necessary."
"D-Link has a graphical interface that is easy to use. It is simple enough that our junior technicians can configure the switches."
"I can't find anything wrong with our D-Link Ethernet Switches."
"They use wireless and wired connections that include all of the features."
"The flexible IP firewall and IP network address translation make it very easy to give access to internal services."
"We have not had any downtime with it. It has been a solid performer that way."
"MikroTik offers full enterprise capabilities at a very reasonable price."
"We're very happy with what we are getting out of the solution in general. The features are good. They're comparable to other brands such as Cisco and HP."
"I think they have very strong routers because they have multiple processors. I like its easy configuration with applications. For example, configuration with Linux, Iptables, and routing protocols."
"What I like best about MikroTik Routers and Switches is its easy handling. The product also has a significantly good interface."
"I've never had any issues with the solution."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"They need to have some more high-end switches."
"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."
"They need to enhance stability."
"I would like an option to create different networks within the switch."
"Its security features need improvement."
"In a future release, the solution could improve by being more secure and allowing the configuration of each port."
"It could be easier to scale on managed devices."
"f they can improve the OpenVPN, to make that a bit more straightforward, that would be ideal."
"Troubleshooting can be complex."
"The product needs to include more power."
"The Soft-GRE support needs to be improved."
"Technical support could be better. They don't have good support like Cisco. It can also be more stable and scalable."
"It could be more scalable. Product awareness could also be better. There's a lack of awareness when it comes to MikroTik. People only know about Cisco and others, and they won't rely on MikroTik. This is primarily because of hardware limitations. While this product is good economically, it's unsuitable for high-end projects. In the next release, I want this product to be more compatible."
"I don't like the product's performance."
"The ports could be improved, as certain areas may need to be terminated with a greater number of Ethernet ports. We initially faced challenges that hindered our network usage, especially with third-party applications that were not certified or supported. It took some time to streamline and resolve these issues."
