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.

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

"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..."

"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 internet connectivity is good."

"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."

"The product's deployment is straightforward."

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

"The meshing capabilities are the most valuable feature. When I am going in-between buildings, my phone doesn't have to pick up different WiFi. They are all the same. Even in-between the buildings, I stay connected."

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

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable."

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."

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

More Omada Access Points pros

Cons

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

"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."

"There is always room for 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."

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

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

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

More NETGEAR Insight Access Points cons

"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."

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

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

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

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

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

"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."

More Omada Access Points cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 think that the price of the product is reasonable."

"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."

"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."

"It is an expensive solution."

"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."

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."

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

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

"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."

"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 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."
