We performed a comparison between Brocade 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 technical support is good."
"The initial setup was really straightforward and easy."
"I have not had any issues with our Brocade switches."
"There's a zone for each server and services in the storage."
"It has good integration with HPE Primera. They have smart zoning in which the administration is very easy. You don't have to do anything. Zoning and other things are done automatically if you just enable the smart zoning. That's one very good thing in HP."
"The most valuable feature of Brocade Ethernet Switches is the good range of access it provides."
"The reliability of Brocade is the most valuable feature. The solution has been up and running for over ten years without any fail, fixes required, or breakdowns. It is a very strong piece of equipment."
"The switches last for a very long time."
"The solution is scalable."
"We use the solution for the network and ethernet connection."
"Its integration is the most valuable."
"There are many good points about this product. Number one, they are very stable, and easy to configure and manage."
"D-Link has a good VPN feature and quality of service."
"The main selling point for me was the pricing. Moreover, the performance is good. I haven't had any issues so far."
"It is a stable solution."
"I can't find anything wrong with our D-Link Ethernet Switches."
"The solution could be more secure."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches could improve by having better compatibility with web management of older versions."
"It should be simpler. There are still some things that can be simpler in the Brocade switches."
"Brocade Ethernet Switches need a better interface and centralized management."
"No graphical interface."
"There are some performance issues."
"These switches are no longer supported."
"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."
"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."
"The availability could be improved."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"We have issues with the stability."
"It could be easier to scale on managed devices."
"I would like an option to create different networks within the switch."
