We performed a comparison between D-Link Ethernet Switches and HPE 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 initial setup of D-Link Ethernet Switches is very easy."
"The product is simple to manage."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It's plug-and-play. There is no configuration necessary."
"It is a stable solution."
"D-Link has a graphical interface that is easy to use. It is simple enough that our junior technicians can configure the switches."
"These switches are simple and easy to configure."
"I like that HPE's management functions are GUI-based, so it doesn't rely on command lines."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the interface and configuration. It's very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature in HPE Ethernet Switches is programmability and analytics."
"The solution can scale."
"It is a stable product."
"What I like the most is the management system integrated with the HP system."
"The main features of the solution I have found to be the interface and unique features other solutions do not have. Additionally, they have a lifetime warranty on the hardware."
"Stable and scalable."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"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 availability could be improved."
"I would like an option to create different networks within the switch."
"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 solution needs better local support."
"It could be easier to scale on managed devices."
"We have issues with the stability."
"I would also like to see a more centralized private management console for the series of devices. Most solutions are adopting centralized cloud-based management, but my client base believes cloud solutions are too insecure. You've got a few dozen switches, so it would be nice to have the ability to manage them on a "single pane of glass.""
"The VLAN tagging could be improved,"
"This solution needs to support software-defined networking."
"We'd like better support for situations where we need troubleshooting."
"The solution would be easier to set up if its GUI could improve or if it had a wizard."
"The security of the solution always has room for improvement."
"When we have a lot of clients on the system, we lose signal and have to restart our antenna."
"The solution could be more stable."
