Pros & Cons
Pros
This dock works well with my laptop. There are a lot of these on ebay at a significant discount so that may be something to look into if the cost is prohibitive for you.
The seller’s communication is phenomenal. The only obnoxious part is that they offer 2 inputs for hdmi and 1 for displayport.
Cons
This dock does not use thunderbolt technology (usb-c) to connect to the laptop. You still have to plug in the laptop charging cable in addition to the dock cable. This "dock" is an unreliable port replicator.
This is a catastrophic design failing that should never have been approved by serious design engineers. There was no inspection of the contents to make sure all the correct parts were sent with the dell docking station.

You need to power both the laptop and the dock, which makes a mess of cables and power supplies.
I work from home was using a non brand hub and i had problems using my mouse and keyboard they would just stop working.
Price
I bought a “used-like new” version for over 50% savings, and it looks and works like new.
Competitiveness
No problems, just plug-n-play and quality is good as you expect nothing less from dell.
Used a different hub, tobenone, it works amazing.
It is slow at waking my laptop compared to another dell model i use at work.

Other dell laptops docks use 1 or 2 usbc connections between the dock and the laptop which also powers the laptop
