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.

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

"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."
"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."
"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."
"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
"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 initial setup is easy."
"The web interface in the controller allows for quick configuration of devices with just one click, which is a significant advantage."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"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."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"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."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
"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."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"Ubiquiti WLAN’s price is higher than other competitors."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"The software to control it is free. The license is when we buy the Cloud Key."
