Fahad Doguwa - PeerSpot reviewer
Affordable platform with efficient analytics features
Huawei adapters have facilitated seamless integration with mobile devices, extending the LAN's reach. Additionally, including CampusInsight, a component offering analytics and visibility into wireless connectivity, has proven invaluable. This feature enables us to monitor network health and troubleshoot user-related issues efficiently. The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations. I advise others to go for Cisco if cost is not a factor. Otherwise, they can explore other options based on the availability of that OEM within the country. We have Huawei present in our country and provide all the necessary support, so we went forward with them. I rate it a nine out of ten.
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

"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."
"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."
"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."
"It is easy to set up."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."
"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
"We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer."
"This product is easy to use."
"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."
"The performance and availability of Omada Access Points have met our business needs, particularly in improving network control and facilitating direct access for developers to branch services."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable."
 

Cons

"The speed could be a bit better."
"The scalability could be a bit better."
"The manageability could be improved."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"While technically proficient, enhancing communication skills would greatly benefit the customer experience."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"As such, there are no problems. It has been good. There were some issues with the network design, but that is not specifically related to the product. We had to make some improvements in the network design. The product as such is fine, and there are no big issues. We are using the latest version having most of the features available in the industry, so the specs are very high. If something new comes up new in the industry, it needs to be incorporated into the product."
"The security of the solution could be better in the future."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"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."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Right now, my company made a one-time purchase of Huawei Wireless. It depends, but in most of the projects where customers buy hardware with some software, it's a one-time purchase. Customers pay a yearly fee for other projects for support and additional software features, such as email protection firmware updates for cybersecurity. You'll also receive information about the latest attacks and get more protection if you pay an additional fee apart from the standard license fee. You'll also get an additional warranty for Huawei Wireless, a yearly contract."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."
"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""
"It is very cost-effective."
"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"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."
"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."
"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"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."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
