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.

They have good specs, and the price is lower than competing solutions

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. They could also enhance the reporting capabilities. At the same time, Omada's reporting has improved considerably in the latest version. That was an issue for us, but now it seems okay. More carrier-grade integrations should be available on Omada access points in the future. They could also add a hot spot and maybe a mobile upload solution. I still have issues from time to time when switching access points. I'm still connected to the SSID, but my signal drops when I switch from 5 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz. I'm not switched to the other access point that is closer to me. I should have been switched automatically to the other access point. Occasionally, the handoff doesn't work. I have tried this with WiFi 6, and it worked fine, so I think they may have resolved this issue in the latest versions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."

"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."

"It can scale."

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."

"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."

"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."

"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."

"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"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."

"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."

"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology."

"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."

"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."

"Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features."

"The initial setup is not complicated."

More Omada Access Points pros

Cons

"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."

"They should include more security features in the solution."

"The stability could be improved."

"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."

"The scalability could be better."

"I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."

"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."

"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."

"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."

"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."

"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."

"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."

"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

"Its price is reasonable."

"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."

"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."

"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."

"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"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."

"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 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."

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

"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
