The support of Omnivista could be better. It's very expensive because it requires a subscription for support, and the licenses are proprietary. If you want to scale or expand your operation by adding more WiFi access points, you have to buy another license. The web-based interface of OmniVista is user-friendly, but for some administrative tasks and functions, you have to use the CLI, which is difficult if you don't have enough training. It relies heavily on CLI guides and manuals. For improvements, I'd suggest making the WiFi access points lighter. Lighter access points like those from TP-Link or Ubiquiti would be better. Additionally, the switches struggle with heat in our environment. They can get very hot and damage the electrical components due to inadequate cooling.

We are selling Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista. It's a suite for the access point, so there's the same pattern, same customer, and same utilization. The solution is deployed on-premises. There's nothing I'd like to change in Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista, because it has everything, so there are no issues. Whatever is required, they add it from their side when they are developing the software. They release patches and they do the release if anything new thing comes out, e.g. new security, anything they want to add, patches, etc., they will add it. They will launch it in a new release every quarter or every six months, so we'll do patch upgrade or release upgrade. I find the service good in Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista. We have over 100 customers using the software. As for our technical team in charge of deployment and maintenance, we have technical engineers and backend support. I would recommend Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista to others. I'm rating Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista ten out of ten. It's related to the suite for the access point, so it's not a different solution, and there's no different pattern.

Key learnings from peers

Valuable Features

"The command line is very user-friendly, making it easy to implement the network."
"OmniVista is a unified solution. It makes management easier in case the router, switch and the WiFi are of the same brand. It also allows us to monitor the WiFi signal strength, switch speed, and bandwidth consumption, and easily block users. We also use the analytics feature, which provides a dashboard showing the number of users per WiFi access point, signal strength, and internet performance. It also monitors the temperature of the equipment."
"It is a good investment for features."

Room for Improvement

"One feature that is missing is the netting feature, which allows for public-to-private network transitions and vice versa."
"The support of Omnivista could be better. It's very expensive because it requires a subscription for support, and the licenses are proprietary. If you want to scale or expand your operation by adding more WiFi access points, you have to buy another license."
