Featured Reviews

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.
Gabriele-Pizzigati - PeerSpot reviewer
Managing installations through one interface enhances efficiency but AI features improvement
Ubiquiti Wireless LAN is reliable and offers a good quality product. It provides one interface to manage all installations, allowing me to monitor all customers through the same web interface. The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage.

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."
"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
"We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer."
"This product is easy to use."
"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
 

Cons

"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
"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."
"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"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."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"I think the main area for improvement with Ubiquiti WLAN is that they need to be far more specific in explaining the advantages of one product versus another. They have many access points - over 30. We often get questions about the right product for specific circumstances, and it's difficult to answer them clearly."
"It does require some maintenance from my side, including troubleshooting and fixing occasionally."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"Big networks with more than 80 access points are a problem. The network controller stops sometimes, and I think it's because of the high number of access points."
"The solution should improve stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"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."

"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
