Featured Reviews

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."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
"Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features."
"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 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."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's most valuable features are that it works well in a hybrid environment and isn't heavy on resources."
 

Cons

"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."
"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."
"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."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
"The technical support could be improved."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"The solution is stable but could improve."
"The coverage could be increased."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"If they can integrate or release a single platform because, currently, there are two different platforms for switches and routers. So, maintaining just one unified platform, like, for example, unifying the models or brands, and avoiding separate platforms for edge switches, edge routers, and other Ubiquiti products, would simplify the integration and implementation process."
"During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"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 cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"The pricing is very reasonable."
