Cost has remained low while implementation proceeds without complications
To capture the critical traffic to prioritize is not something I work with in advanced QoS features. Regarding VLAN support in bandwidth management, we are not utilizing VLAN for the infrastructure as we have a minimal requirement for VLAN, so we have not yet implemented any of the features relevant to the virtual LANs. It's very hard to answer the question about minor improvements D-Link Ethernet Switches could do with their products because the products I'm dealing with are just plug-and-play, unmanaged switches. It would be more appropriate to comment on features if I had been using Layer 2 or Layer 3 switches for at least a couple of months. I don't think there are any disadvantages I can point out for the product.

Pros

"The biggest advantage of D-Link Ethernet Switches for me is the cost; on the technical side, since the majority of switches that I am using are unmanaged switches, I haven't found any problem implementing those in a live environment; it's just a plug-and-play device, so I never felt the need to go for technical support for D-Link Ethernet Switches."
"These switches are very easy to install because there is no configuration."
"The two models that I've got are just fantastic."
"The solution is scalable."

Cons

"Currently, D-Link Ethernet Switches are often not used in large data centers due to issues with performance and scalability."
