NadirShahzad - PeerSpot reviewer
Wireless projects run smoothly with more access point support and competitive pricing
D-Link Wireless offers more supported APs to the WLC with the default license compared to other brands like Cisco. With Cisco, only four to five APs are connected with the default license, but D-Link Wireless provides more flexibility. Local support in Pakistan is necessary for those with limited budgets, creating a reach in the market.
Prasad Wijesooriya - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"The solution is extremely easy to install. You just add them and in a few clicks, they are ready to go."
"D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."
"This is an affordable product that offers good performance. This is why it is popular with our customers. It offers good speed and bandwidth."
"The tool supports new technologies."
"This product is user-friendly and we can manage it as per the requirements of the user."
"The system simplifies network management."
"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable."
"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."
"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."
 

Cons

"Password restriction: Sometimes we set a password and it uses that password but, after some days/months, the password gets changed and a few laptops still use old the password while a few use the new password. The password restriction option needs to improve."
"D-Link Wireless’s stability needs improvement."
"Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted."
"D-Link Wireless should include the 'cleaner' feature similar to Cisco's APs. This feature reduces signal interference with access points."
"The solution doesn't have hotspots. Users can't set it up so that visitors can log in via Facebook or social media as they can at, for example, airports. D-Link should include hotspots that offer integration with social media. That way, visitors don't need to be asking people for passwords. They can just use Facebook."
"In future releases, it can keep improving on countering the new patterns of security attacks."
"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."
"Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
"Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"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."
"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."

"There is no need to pay for the licensing costs since my company is in South Africa. Omada Access Points can be termed as a medium-priced product."

"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
