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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."
"The product is simple and easy to use."
"We can use an access point to broadcast multiple SSIDs, assign dynamic VLANs, and configure dynamic access control lists (ACLs)."
"It is based on 802.11ax, which is a new technology. There are several valuable things, such as its speed and mobility. There are options for self-organizing networking so that it can perform operations and maintain itself. Its three interfaces are very good and user friendly."
"It is easy to set up."
"I would recommend this solution because it has quite a good price, and it provides value for money."
"I can say that Huawei's cybersecurity is very good, stable, and works for long periods."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"Omada is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."
"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."
"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."
"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."
"Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."
 

Cons

"What needs improvement in Huawei Wireless is after-sales support. I've faced many after-sales support issues, so that's the area I want Huawei to improve. Having an SLA with customers is what I'd suggest to Huawei Wireless."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should offer more integration with third-party servers and devices."
"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good."
"The solution's integration with some AAA servers like Aruba ClearPass is difficult and could be improved."
"The manageability of radio frequencies to avoid overlapping needs improvement."
"While I am fine with the current licensing price, I would appreciate it to be more cost-effective."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"We have not been satisfied with the performance of TP-Link Auranet EAP."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"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."
"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."
"Huawei Wireless is a cheaper solution when you compare it to the cost of other similar solutions. It has one of the most competitive prices out there."
"Huawei Wireless is an expensive product. I'm rating it as one out of ten, price-wise."
"Huawei Wireless is one of the cheapest options in the marketplace."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"Right now, my company made a one-time purchase of Huawei Wireless. It depends, but in most of the projects where customers buy hardware with some software, it's a one-time purchase. Customers pay a yearly fee for other projects for support and additional software features, such as email protection firmware updates for cybersecurity. You'll also receive information about the latest attacks and get more protection if you pay an additional fee apart from the standard license fee. You'll also get an additional warranty for Huawei Wireless, a yearly contract."
"I pay monthly for the solution."
"The price is good for the solution and there is a license required."
"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"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."
"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."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"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."
