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

"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."
"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."
"It provides high-speed network connections."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"The solution is easy to set up."
"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."
"This solution is very simple and the interface is user-friendly."
"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."
"Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features."
"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."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology."
"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 pricing is reasonable."
 

Cons

"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"The solution could be easier to use."
"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"The stability could be improved."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."
"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support could be improved."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very cost-effective."
"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"Extras come with a surcharge."
"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."
"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."
"We don't have any control on the pricing. This comes from Huawei in India. Pricing-wise, Huawei is very aggressive and competitive if you compare them to competitors, like Cisco, Aruba, and Ruckus. The Indian Huawei team tells us, "Just pick up the order and design the infrastructure. If there are any pricing challenge, we'll work on that and we will try to match things 100 percent.""
"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."
"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."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
"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."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
