Access points work but there are problems with support, scalability, and keeping technology current
Having a better dashboard management system that the client can use to access and control their environment would be a nice addition to the product. They said it was going to be part of one of their updates, but we did not get it. We thought we should have in one of the updates that we did. With that, we would have been able to control the environment if we needed to do something like adding more bandwidth in certain areas. Not getting that update became kind-of problematic for us. That was one of the reasons why we had to try to find a solution with a better dashboard management system. I think they need to get the product to the next Gen. Currently they are running on Generation 5. I know that they have a new product almost ready to come out, but they are not really ready for Gen 6 yet. Support could be enhanced as well. With any one of their solutions, they are the means that provides the client with the flexibility and scalability to help manage the product. Instead of the current system where you have to send them a support ticket and then have to go back and forth to get something done, I just think that users should have better control over the process. Their current process does not allow you to have that kind of control. That may be just my limited experience.

Well-suited for mobile and portable device usage but issues with stability
The problem is that when the number of users increases, TP-Link automatically drops the speed, and in terms of coverage, it falls short. We are not using any industrial-level equipment or accuracy. We are looking for something at the industrial level, advanced Access Points, not the basic ones from TP-Link. Omada Access Points could be improved in terms of connectivity and speed. That is the main thing. The other thing is security. Currently, most people are sharing their passwords, allowing unauthorized users to access Wi-Fi networks. So, the main areas for improvement are security, accessibility, and speed.

"The initial setup is not complicated."

Cons

"Support is not really up to par in quickly addressing issues."
"Having a better dashboard management system that the client can use to access and control their environment would be a nice addition to the product."
"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"The technical support could be improved."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"The price of the solution is an area requiring improvement since I want the solution to be made available at a cheaper price than its current market price."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."

"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
