Effective and extensive campus Wi-Fi with room for better frequency management

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

"The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point."
"The entire campus (students, administration, the project team, and purchase team) was very happy with this particular product."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"I am impressed with the tool's seamless integration."
"Their technical support is very good from Huawei Wireless. They respond on time when giving feedback."
"It is a pretty good solution."
"We've found the solution to be quite stable."
"Huawei Wireless has controllers inside the switches."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that it is easy to deploy and reliable."
"It has all the common solutions that all other solutions provide, but it is very effective, and its cost is 60% less than Ruckus."
"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology."
"The most valuable feature is the cloud-based management option, as it is very convenient to manage and this product is easy to use."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"This product is easy to use."
"Its sturdiness and cost-effectiveness are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance."
 

Cons

"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected."
"The ongoing support and ongoing follow-up on customers is an area where the solution lacks."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"The demo program is an area for improvement in Huawei Wireless as it's hard to use. As a partner, you can use the solution for free, for thirty days, for example. On paper, everything looks fine, but you have to get permission and explain why you want to download the software, even if it's just for demo purposes. I don't get why I have to do this as a partner and still give an explanation that this would be for a demo setup. Downloading the solution isn't a click-and-install process that should go smoothly and efficiently. You have to get a lot of approvals and explain a lot, and in the end, you find out that you received the approval for one piece of software. It looks like you need additional software to use the software. My company asked for approval and received the approval three days later, but you need to install another software to use some of the features. In the past, most features were separate. Because Huawei wants a single pane of glass where all features should work with the Huawei equipment, Huawei decided to combine everything into the iMaster NCE Campus, which incorporates every other cloud solution. However, you still have to ask for approval for every piece of software, and without clear information on the features, the type of software, and the software files required, it's not so good from my point of view."
"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."
"The scalability could be better."
"Given that Wi-Fi 7 is a new protocol, compatibility with other devices like phones and computers that lack this technology could be enhanced."
"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."
"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"The quality of the hardware needs to be improved."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing 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."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"The technical support could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."
"Huawei comes at a cheaper price than competitors like Cisco and Aruba."
"I rate Huawei Wireless' pricing a five out of ten."
"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.""
"The product has a good price."
"Its price is reasonable."
"I would rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"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."
"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."
"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 is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
