Affordable platform with efficient analytics features

Huawei adapters have facilitated seamless integration with mobile devices, extending the LAN's reach. Additionally, including CampusInsight, a component offering analytics and visibility into wireless connectivity, has proven invaluable. This feature enables us to monitor network health and troubleshoot user-related issues efficiently. The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations. I advise others to go for Cisco if cost is not a factor. Otherwise, they can explore other options based on the availability of that OEM within the country. We have Huawei present in our country and provide all the necessary support, so we went forward with them. I rate it a nine out of ten.

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 most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."

"The product's Wi-Fi 7 solution stands out as it offers cutting-edge technology in wireless communication, enhancing bandwidth management and coverage."

"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to use."

"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."

"It can scale."

"I think it's a good technology. I like that it transparently connects with LDAP. The technology has a lot of capacity for WiFi six. It provides notifications, and there are many ways to connect with fiber. There is an electrical tool, and you can put an SFP transceiver. There are also many ways to implement antennas."

"The solution offers very good value for money."

More Huawei Wireless pros

"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."

More Omada Access Points pros

Cons

"The stability could be improved."

"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."

"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."

"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."

"They should actually first test the equipment thoroughly and then launch it. Sometimes, things come out too soon, before they are ready."

"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."

"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."

"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."

More Huawei Wireless cons

"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."

"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."

"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."

"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."

"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."

"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."

"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."

"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."

"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."

"The price of Huawei Wireless is reasonable. The licenses are active, and everything is working fine as per the license agreement."

"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."

More Huawei Wireless pricing and cost advice

"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."

"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 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."

"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."

"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 provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
