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

"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."
"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."
"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."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"The performance and availability of Omada Access Points have met our business needs, particularly in improving network control and facilitating direct access for developers to branch services."

"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."

"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
 

Cons

"The technical support could be improved."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"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 needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"I think the main area for improvement with Ubiquiti WLAN is that they need to be far more specific in explaining the advantages of one product versus another. They have many access points - over 30. We often get questions about the right product for specific circumstances, and it's difficult to answer them clearly."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is not a cheap solution."
"It is not a stable solution."
"The solution should improve stability."
"A potential improvement could be the addition of artificial intelligence features, similar to what Ruckus offers."
"The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"When they release new products, you should know if there backward compatibility, or do you have to replace the entire forklift, It is useful to understand their strategy and where they are headed."

"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."
