Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 31, 2024

Ubiquiti WLAN and Omada Access Points compete in the wireless networking category. Ubiquiti often holds the upper hand owing to its ease of deployment and cost-effective solutions.

Features:Ubiquiti stands out with ease of setup, remote management capabilities, and robust network tools like heat maps and proactive alerts. Its simple pricing model without recurring fees and comprehensive documentation are highly favored. Omada is notable for its reliability and compatibility with both wired and wireless technology. It offers effective network control with modern interfaces, appealing to budget-conscious buyers looking for ease of integration with cloud-based management.

Room for Improvement:Ubiquiti could enhance its support infrastructure and troubleshooting tools. Areas like signal strength adjustment and cloud-based management are identified for improvement. Omada seeks improvements in scalability and advanced security measures for larger enterprises. Enhancing configuration flexibility and adding features like automatic interference handling are suggested to improve user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:Both Ubiquiti and Omada support on-premises deployments, but Ubiquiti offers more flexibility with public cloud options. However, both receive criticism for relying heavily on community forums for support. Ubiquiti’s deployment is straightforward but could improve in customer service responsiveness. Omada provides adequate community support but users call for more immediate professional guidance.

Pricing and ROI:Ubiquiti is known for its affordability with a one-time purchase model devoid of licensing fees, providing a strong ROI for SMEs. Omada Access Points are budget-friendly with attractive upfront pricing, although additional licensing costs may accrue for certain features, still serving companies well without heavy operational overheads.

They have good specs, and the price is lower than competing solutions

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. They could also enhance the reporting capabilities. At the same time, Omada's reporting has improved considerably in the latest version. That was an issue for us, but now it seems okay. More carrier-grade integrations should be available on Omada access points in the future. They could also add a hot spot and maybe a mobile upload solution. I still have issues from time to time when switching access points. I'm still connected to the SSID, but my signal drops when I switch from 5 Ghz to 2.4 Ghz. I'm not switched to the other access point that is closer to me. I should have been switched automatically to the other access point. Occasionally, the handoff doesn't work. I have tried this with WiFi 6, and it worked fine, so I think they may have resolved this issue in the latest versions.

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.
