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.

Easy-to-deploy platform with prompt technical support services

The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to provide cloud access to configure and manage devices. It integrates with ETP solutions; thus, we don't need to run a firewall. They provide an online wireless line manager application. Its basic access point is Wi-Fi 621, which has 2.5 G connectivity. None of the competitors, including Fortinet, enables this facility on the most basic level.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

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

"The pricing is reasonable."

More Omada Access Points pros

"The platform's most valuable feature is the ability to provide cloud access to configure and manage devices."

"I rate SonicWall a nine out of ten."

"A good management tool that can be managed through the cloud or firewall."

"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."

"The security features of SonicWall are highly valued."

Cons

"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."

"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."

"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."

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

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

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

"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."

More Omada Access Points cons

"The product's pricing is high and could be improved."

"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."

"Integrating with the firewall and management console was a little complex."

"They are sometimes difficult to manage from the end-user side because they are not yet familiar with the configuration."

"The main issue is the management of the access points. They are sometimes difficult to manage from the end-user side because they are not yet familiar with the configuration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

More Omada Access Points pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of the SonicWave Access Points solution is different in the US and Brazil. In the US, the solution is priced more competitively than other vendors. In Brazil, the exchange rate is a problem. To address this, SonicWall managers in Brazil are running several sales promotions and improving the price of new units."

"The platform offers yearly licenses."
