Cons
"They need to enhance stability.""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.""Its security features need improvement.""It could be easier to scale on managed 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 to improve layer 2 switches.""We have issues with the stability.""It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud."

More D-Link Ethernet Switches Cons →

"The solution needs more monitoring tools.""I would suggest improvements regarding enhancing support response times and implementing user interface modifications for quicker and more user-friendly interactions.""I would like to see more collaboration with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) vendors, such as Itron.""I would prefer that all the licenses be open for our use.""The segment routing could be improved, and they could also transfer a lot of legacy to the cloud domain."
