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.

Greatly simplifies troubleshooting; remote access to the router is a huge time saver
The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents. I can always call technical support and ask them if I forget something and I'll get the support, but I shouldn't need to do that. Anything can be improved and unfortunately a good switch is not cheap but there's no choice if you need a special router.

"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"D-Link has a graphical interface that is easy to use. It is simple enough that our junior technicians can configure the switches."
"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."
"The management interface makes network management very easy."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The ePoE+ is great."
"It's a rock-solid connectivity and a rock-solid Wi-Fi coverage, which is what my customers love."
"Remote access to the router is a huge time saver."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
 

Cons

"We have issues with the stability."
"For high-end switches, the price could be 5% to 10% cheaper."
"They could be more stable. They were not as resistant as Cisco."
"D-Link Ethernet Switches' switching capacity is low. The solution should improve stability and not support Cisco or Juniper networks."
"Areas of the solution that have room for improvement include scalability, as it should improve both scaling and security."
"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."
"This solution is not good for distribution at the core."
"In a future release, the solution could improve by being more secure and allowing the configuration of each port."
"The solution has a problem with documentation. Luxul doesn't want to give the documentation to any Joe Bloggs, but even as a dealer going to the Luxul portal, there are no documents."
"Documentation and access to it could be greatly improved."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
"While the solution is good for the light commercial market or for the residential market, it's not ideal for the commercial market, for example, a big enterprise or data center."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
"The documentation could be improved; it's quite basic."
