"This product is easy to use.""Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features.""We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi.""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.""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.""We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time.

More Omada Access Points Pros →

"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to provide cloud access to configure and manage devices.""Unlike the Cisco solution that needs a dedicated wireless controller outside of a firewall, SonicWall has everything in one box. Fortinet is close to it.""A good management tool that can be managed through the cloud or firewall."

Cons
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage.""The pricing is very high in the Indian market.""The pricing should be made cheaper.""The price could be better.""If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited.""Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release.""It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network.""Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points Cons →

"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable.""Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement.""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 technical support could be improved.""Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with.""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."

More Omada Access Points Cons →

"We have a lot of overlapping wireless networks with a lot of cheap equipment that does not run on any rules or regulations. The best way to improve the wireless network, like in SonicWaves, is to defeat these networks by isolating, preventing them, or overcoming their wireless signal. We try to do that, but I live near an airport, and the AirPortRadar glitches my wireless network every nine seconds.""The product's pricing is high and could be improved.""Integrating with the firewall and management console was a little complex."
