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.

"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is scalable."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"The switches have a graphical user interface that makes configuration good, easy, and straightforward."
"D-Link has a graphical interface that is easy to use. It is simple enough that our junior technicians can configure the switches."
"D-Link Ethernet Switches are state of the art networking devices that can solve critical networking related issues like VLAN segregation, enhancing security through ACL, configuring trunk ports, RIP, etc."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"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."
"All of my customers, including residential and commercial clients, are extremely happy with these switches."
"The solution is excellent for audio-video and multi-casting."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"The ePoE+ is great."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of stability."
"It could be easier to scale on managed devices."
"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."
"It should be more stable, and it should have good integration with the cloud. It should support configuration, supervision, and control through the cloud."
"They need to have some more high-end switches."
"The solution's web filtering feature could be 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."
"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."
"You do need to be an IT person in order to handle the initial setup. An AV person would struggle a bit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a good return on investment. It has indeed saved us resources significantly."
"D-Link Ethernet Switches are cheap products for homes and small offices."
"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
"It is an affordable solution."
"They were cheap. We were not paying for any license."
"This product is very affordable, especially compared to Cisco."
"The price of D-Link Ethernet Switches is in the 4,000 to 5,000 rupees or 65 to 100 USD range. The price of the solution is not expensive."
"The solution is budget-friendly"
"The price completely depends on the environment. There are no additional fees."
