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

"This product is easy to use."
"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"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 product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"The solution is not complex to deploy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good availability, and it is much cheaper."
"The product’s most valuable feature is the workflow-driven setup for the infrastructure component."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
 

Cons

"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."
"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"The solution should improve stability."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
"The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"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."
"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"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 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."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"It’s an expensive product but has all the essential qualities and functionality."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN's pricing a five to six out of ten."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"The tool is affordable."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
