A tool that offers a good performance at a good price
Over a period of time, the technologies change, and users may not get the proper things. In general, there is a need to keep changing devices after a period of five years, especially considering that I operate in a university where we don't have closed offices, while the devices' performance level goes down in open spaces. Though in our institution, we tried to make some changes to the product, we know that nothing much is going to change. In our institution, we plan to have indoor and room-based APs, but even then, some of the rooms don't come in a dust-free environment, so there is a need for us to experiment with the product as the degrading of the devices and signals still keeps happening. In our institution, we are making some changes to adopt to an indoor-based system. For certain setups, D-Link Wireless works better and ensures that users get value for their money. If you know how to maintain a technology, then it can help you. I rate the overall tool an eight to nine out of ten.
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The setup process is very easy."
"I like the product's signal continuity and range. We can receive the signal up to 20-30 meters from the wireless antenna."
"The initial setup process was easy."
"It's scalable, user friendly, and easy to manage."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The system simplifies network management."
"D-Link is a good product that is quite affordable and I recommend it."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."
"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."
"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
"This product is easy to use."
 

Cons

"Its interface and support system need much improvement. Sometimes, when we use the interface to reset the password and configure SSIDs, or some other changes, the "Save" option does not show and we have to go to some internal setting and then we can "save" the setting. The “Save” option should be in front of or below of the settings."
"The only issue is with the controller visibility of the devices connecting to the network."
"Sometimes, the solution needs to be restarted."
"It would definitely help if we had more advanced features for distributing bandwidth."
"The solution's performance could be improved."
"The support offered by the product needs to be faster with better technical personnel."
"The stability could be a bit better."
"The cloud managed solution needs improvement, and they should focus on the SD-WAN segment with regard to integration."
"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."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
"The technical support could be improved."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost can range from $100 to $400."
"This solution is more affordable than others on the market."
"D-Link Wireless is cheaper than Ruckus or Cisco."
"D-Link Wireless' price is the same as Aruba's. You need to pay one-time costs for the product."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"The product is affordable."
"There is no licensing fee for the solution."
"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."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"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."
"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 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."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
