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 tool's fault frequency is very less."
"It is very stable and reliable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"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."
"There are many good points about this product. Number one, they are very stable, and easy to configure and manage."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to segment my infrastructure between phones, security systems, and other tasks."
"The most valuable feature is the granular visibility that they provide with a single pane of glass."
"We are using the MS425 series. We like the ease of use, ease of administration, and central dashboard. Meraki also has fantastic documentation and community. With its central dashboard, we can deploy a generic configuration across hundreds of switches, rather than doing it in the old school way where an individual or a group of engineers would log onto each device via CLI, which takes a long time. So, everything is connected."
"The management is cloud-based so you do not have to be on-premises to work with it."
"To me, this is a product that meets all of the needs that anyone could possibly have for a networking device."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features are the cloud management, the monitoring, and the visibility available on the report's facts on the cloud controller."
"The product provides a single-pane-of-glass in for management of wireless, security, and switching from multiple devices."
"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."
"The solution needs better local support."
"Its security features need improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"It could be easier to scale on managed devices."
"They need to have some more high-end switches."
"The technical support needs a lot of improvement."
"I would like an option to create different networks within the switch."
"One area where Meraki MS switches could improve is offering smaller switch sizes for distribution switches."
"Its troubleshooting features need work."
"The solution needs to improve its ability to back up the auto-configuration."
"The product's high price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution needs to improve its scalability."
"The troubleshooting could be better."
"The lead time for delivery can be a challenge, and there is room for improvement in this area."
"Licensing is the only thing I can complain about. It's expensive, but everything is these days."
