Piyush Jain

Product manager at Oracle

A product with load-balancing features that offers scalability to its users

My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet, where even the mesh routers don't work out for me because it is a huge area to be covered. To cover huge areas, I will have to put extenders. I will have to use mesh routers with extenders to cover a whole huge area with Wi-Fi. I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide. One of the major problems I see is that when you try to use NETGEAR Insight Access Points, the huge amount of options that are there can only be handled by a person who is experienced or knows the process. So there should be a guide that walks anyone through different options and different things about how to go work with the UI.

IT Manager at Hala Equipment Trading LLC

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 use NETGEAR's Insight management solution to do off-property controls. It is user-friendly and provides network management, monitoring, and service deployment across multiple remote and local sites. That means I don't have to be physically at a location to do things if I want to make any changes to the network. It saves time and money."

"Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly."

"The internet connectivity is good."

"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward."

"[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud."

"I am all about simplicity. With the Insight management solution, I don’t need an additional cloud controller, appliance, network manager, or PC/server to configure and manage my access points. You have to look at cost, and everything has a cost. There is a cost to using Insight. But if the cost is reasonable, I don't want another layer. The ability to deploy a network and then have that software built-in, without having to go to a third-party, is big. Also, the less pieces that I have to call in on, the better. So, when I'm calling NETGEAR, it's not like I'm using some third-party piece of software to manage their product. It doesn't add that layer of complexity, which is key."

"I'm able to do a lot of things, because the GUI is designed very well. I'm able to remotely make certain changes via my phone and apply them right away. It makes life easier when it comes to managing the equipment. The Insight management solution phone app is very good. It enables me to do what I want to do."

"The metrics demonstrate that NETGEAR really does a good job of balancing the load between the various access points on the networks and this results in an elimination of downtime."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points pros

"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."

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

"This product is easy to use."

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

"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."

"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."

"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."

Cons

"The pricing and standard connectivity can be further improved."

"While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate."

"There is always room for improvement."

"I have some frustrations with the ease of use. It tends to be sluggish. The graphical interface is pretty, but not useful. They have this tree that shows connected devices, which makes no sense whatsoever because the labeling field of the tree truncates all the items to the point that it's almost useless. You can't even tell what it is. I would prefer a spreadsheet list of the gear as opposed to a graphical representation."

"A con is the backend system which is very, very slow."

"Ubiquiti is a very good company. NETGEAR should look at that model and expand on its remote capabilities. Ubiquiti seems to have a better product."

"The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward."

"Software-wise, they need to provide the ability to kick users out. If multiple users are abusing the system or the network, I should be able to block them for a time and, when I need to unblock them, I should be able to do so by using their MAC ID. That feature might already be there and I just don't know about it."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points cons

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

"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."

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

"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."

"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."

"For what you get, the price of Insight access points is very reasonable."

"It wasn't much more than 100 dollars a year. For the devices that we have, the pricing was pretty fair."

"Their pricing is perfect for smaller businesses who are money and budget conscious. There are a lot of other solutions out there that are two to three times more expensive."

"My company does not need to pay anything related to the solution's licensing costs."

"We have some basic models they give without a license."

"Price-wise, it is a little too high, about $20 higher than what it should be, but it's worth it. It's cheaper than Cisco's access point, but the products are not apples to apples."

"I can source the stuff pretty quickly wherever I go through the distributor. There is pricing available at NETGEAR if you can spend between $2,000 and $5,000 on a solution. So, there is special pricing that they can help with. The vendor's reps are very responsive. They have a good channel system."

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points pricing and cost advice

"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."

"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."

"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."

"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."

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

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

"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
