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.

"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"The main advantage of Ubiquiti WLAN is the network management. The whole concept has one complete range of products from end to end, with very basic and effective management systems. That's a key benefit in my mind. But the main thing is that it's so competitive—far more competitive than the other leading American brands."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of Ubiquiti WLAN is its stability."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."

"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"The solution should improve stability."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
