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.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ExtremeWireless isn't budget-friendly. The hardware costs around 20,000 Indian rupees. We're still using an older controller, so it doesn't require a license, unlike the newest versions of the ExtremeWireless controller."
"There are both paid and free licenses of the cloud environment, with only basic functionality in the free version."
"ExtremeWireless is subscription-based for both cloud and on-prem solutions, and it's quite expensive."
"We pay approximately $30,000 per year."
"I rate the price of Extreme Wireless a three out of five."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The solution is priced well and we currently are only paying for a license for maintenance."
"The price of the solution overall is expensive. Additionally, the controller and license are expensive. We pay for an annual subscription."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"The cost of Omada is much better than Aruba and Cisco, and it does what we need it to do in most cases. Around 10 percent of our clients need a more carrier-grade solution for mobile platforms."
