My job title is Head for IT and Information Security. I work with TP-Link access points and TP-Link switches. I have one Layer 2 switch; the rest of the switches I am using are unmanaged switches, so I do not work with Layer 3 functionalities in D-Link Ethernet Switches. I do not work with PoE support in D-Link Ethernet Switches. Maximum of the services I am using are hosted on cloud, and for the distribution of the LAN, it's on-premises. The type of cloud I use is a private cloud from Microsoft. I purchase D-Link Ethernet Switches products directly from Microsoft; when I talk about the cloud services, it's completely relying on the vendors. On a scale of one to ten, I rate D-Link Ethernet Switches a nine.
As someone without extensive network expertise, I cannot provide detailed technical information. I am uncertain about whether we have implemented Layer 2 or Layer 3 switches, as this would require network specialist knowledge. I cannot provide specific details about SD-WAN capabilities, unified consoles, or AI functionality due to my limited technical knowledge. From an overview perspective, D-Link Ethernet Switches have performed excellently, earning a rating of 9 out of 10.
I can recommend D-Link Ethernet Switches to others. The overall solution is best for any low-cost environment because of its cost-effectiveness. My overall rating is eight out of ten.

I'm using the latest version of the solution. I'd recommend the solution, depending on the requirement. I wouldn't recommend D-Link for managed switches. However, if a company requires something that is plug-and-play, D-Link is a great option. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten
We are customers and end-users. We'd like to have some smart switches and a good management port with a different control panel. I'd rate the solution six out of ten.
My advice for anybody who is considering this product is that for companies on a budget, this is a good ethernet switch. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

I am looking for another solution to better protect us against both security and DDoS attacks. Huawei and Cisco devices are better. I rate D-Link Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.
I rate this solution a three out of ten. I would recommend this solution to a company with a small budget, but if they have extra funds, there are better solutions like Cisco, Juniper or Aruba.

We are resellers. I normally recommend the solution to any user who wants a good switch which is not very expensive. Like Cisco, I always recommend it. I'd rate the product at an eight out of ten.

Our company does not have a business relationship with D-Link. I have a model in D-link and DGST6C0S, and this is a 48-volt switch. The version of the switches depends on the customer. We don't always work with the latest version. It depends on the customer's requirements. This is the best solution as compared to other options - and that includes Juniper, Cisco, and NETGEAR. Out of those, D-link is the better one. I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

While the solution is budget-friendly and reliable, someone who can afford it should go with a different brand. When comparing D-Link Ethernet switches with those of Cisco, the port switch is the way to go. I rate D-Link Ethernet Switch as a nine out of ten.
I would recommend these switches. We choose solutions based on what we have in the market. We don't focus on any specific brand. It depends on factors like the funds available, the trend in the market, and the availability of the product. We don't always have Cisco available in this market, and when that's the case, we may go for some other brand. This is mainly due to the situation of our own computer equipment market. It has been quite some time since I last saw D-Link in the market because we have not been buying switches. I would rate D-Link Ethernet Switches a seven out of ten.
