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.

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.

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.

They need to have some more high-end switches.

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.
