Calvin Ong - PeerSpot reviewer
Reasonably priced product with a straightforward deployment process
I never thought about what could be made better in the product since my company is a customer-centric organization where we provide Aruba or NETGEAR, depending on the demands and needs of our customers. The product's UI needs to be simplified and made more straightforward. It would be great if it was possible to send notifications regarding some errors related to the product that can be sent from our company to our clients through the organization's post-sales team.
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

"I now have the ability to remote access my network. That works extremely well. I can access it from any place. I don't need to be physically at the device. This saves me on time and travel."
"The internet connectivity is good."
"Our company sometimes uses the solution's technical support, and we have seen that they sort out our general problems quickly."
"From the WiFi aspect, it's very intuitive and easy to use. The solution enables me to manage my entire WiFi from anywhere in the world..."
"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."
"[Being] able to configure the WiFi devices and to see utilization remotely, or from the cloud."
"The initial setup of NETGEAR Insight Access Points was straightforward."
"The product's deployment is straightforward."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"This product is easy to use."
"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."
"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology."
"Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features."
 

Cons

"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."
"Due to certain shortcomings in the solution's stability, I feel that the solution's stability requires improvement."
"My major problem is right now, the area which I need to cover is around 7,000 to 10,000 square feet...I would like NETGEAR Insight Access Points to extend the area coverage they provide."
"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."
"There is always room for improvement."
"While the data throughput does provide us with full insight into data being used, we find that it's not very accurate."
"The biggest issue I've had is that it works very well with the WiFi, but it does not offer any assistance at all with the routers. You can't control them or manage them at all. As soon as you want to use anything on the network side—because I have multiple 28-port switches—you can't manage them using this app."
"The registration is annoying. I have to go back to NETGEAR and log tickets. Access points and router registration are something that they need to address in Insight. They need to fix the bug of getting the devices activated and enrolled in Insight without fighting with them. I have probably done about six of these in the last month. You get to see patterns."
"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."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It wasn't much more than 100 dollars a year. For the devices that we have, the pricing was pretty fair."
"It is an expensive solution."
"I think that the price of the product is reasonable."
"For what you get, the price of Insight access points is very reasonable."
"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."
"The pricing seems to be reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
