Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 31, 2024

Ubiquiti WLAN and Omada Access Points compete in the wireless networking category. Ubiquiti often holds the upper hand owing to its ease of deployment and cost-effective solutions.

Features:Ubiquiti stands out with ease of setup, remote management capabilities, and robust network tools like heat maps and proactive alerts. Its simple pricing model without recurring fees and comprehensive documentation are highly favored. Omada is notable for its reliability and compatibility with both wired and wireless technology. It offers effective network control with modern interfaces, appealing to budget-conscious buyers looking for ease of integration with cloud-based management.

Room for Improvement:Ubiquiti could enhance its support infrastructure and troubleshooting tools. Areas like signal strength adjustment and cloud-based management are identified for improvement. Omada seeks improvements in scalability and advanced security measures for larger enterprises. Enhancing configuration flexibility and adding features like automatic interference handling are suggested to improve user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:Both Ubiquiti and Omada support on-premises deployments, but Ubiquiti offers more flexibility with public cloud options. However, both receive criticism for relying heavily on community forums for support. Ubiquiti’s deployment is straightforward but could improve in customer service responsiveness. Omada provides adequate community support but users call for more immediate professional guidance.

Pricing and ROI:Ubiquiti is known for its affordability with a one-time purchase model devoid of licensing fees, providing a strong ROI for SMEs. Omada Access Points are budget-friendly with attractive upfront pricing, although additional licensing costs may accrue for certain features, still serving companies well without heavy operational overheads.

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.

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.

More Omada Access Points pros

"All of the interfacing is very good."

"The initial setup is easy."

"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."

"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."

"There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend."

"I find the features of Ubiquiti WLAN most valuable."

"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."

More Ubiquiti WLAN pros

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."

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

"The technical support could be improved."

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

"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."

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

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

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

More Omada Access Points cons

"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."

"The solution should improve stability."

"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."

"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."

"The product’s bandwidth could be better."

"The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder."

"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."

"It does require some maintenance from my side, including troubleshooting and fixing occasionally."

More Ubiquiti WLAN cons

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

"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 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."
