Umer  Farooq - PeerSpot reviewer
Customizable and has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, and smart antennas
The initial setup for Huawei Wireless is easy, so it's a nine out of ten for me. It takes six to eight weeks to deploy the product. Initially, as I'm in pre-sales, I generate RFPs and the response when a customer has issued a published tender. I'll check the requirement, and then I'll map it to the Huawei product. I'll then make the Statement of Compliance (SOC) and select the proper model. Next, I'll send the information and document to Huawei for technical vetting. After technical vetting, I'll request Huawei to share information on costs and other vetted documents I need to complete, and once completed, I'll submit the documents. It'll then take approximately ten to fifteen days. Deploying Huawei Wireless requires teamwork because the deployment process involves different people and teams, such as the project manager, post-deployment, and pre-sales teams, to deploy the product completely.

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

"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"It has all of the features that we need."
"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"From an implementation perspective, it's easy. I rate it a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup, and ten is an easy setup."
"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."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"This product is easy to use."
"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."
"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
 

Cons

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"Support could be a bit faster."
"The stability could be improved."
"The manageability could be improved."
"I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."
"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive."
"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."
"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
"The technical support could be improved."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"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."
"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"It is very cost-effective."
"Right now, my company made a one-time purchase of Huawei Wireless. It depends, but in most of the projects where customers buy hardware with some software, it's a one-time purchase. Customers pay a yearly fee for other projects for support and additional software features, such as email protection firmware updates for cybersecurity. You'll also receive information about the latest attacks and get more protection if you pay an additional fee apart from the standard license fee. You'll also get an additional warranty for Huawei Wireless, a yearly contract."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"The price of Huawei Wireless is very good."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"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."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"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."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
