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

"The solution's most valuable feature is its price."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"We use Omada Access Points for the network and Wi-Fi."
"The initial setup is not complicated."
"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 is easy to manage, has cloud management features, and is easy to set up."
"The solution has been dependable and has kept up with modern technology."
"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"The pricing is very competitive and the feature sets are very good. It compares well against more expensive options."
"There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install."
"The Cloud Key Controller is a valuable feature because it allows me to access the wireless system from the cloud and locally within the same network, enhancing network management."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"The main advantage of Ubiquiti WLAN is the network management. The whole concept has one complete range of products from end to end, with very basic and effective management systems. That's a key benefit in my mind. But the main thing is that it's so competitive—far more competitive than the other leading American brands."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
 

Cons

"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."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."
"Omada's ordering platform could be improved, though. Some of their distributors are a pain to work with."
"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"The technical support could be improved."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"Support from Ubiquiti is hard to obtain. However, there is a good forum where a lot of information can be found."
"They could enhance their products by integrating cloud access into each device."
"I have found they need to work on the stability of the solution."
"The statistics you can get on it are a bit limited from what I have seen so far."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"Big networks with more than 80 access points are a problem. The network controller stops sometimes, and I think it's because of the high number of access points."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."
"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 price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it."
"We don't have to pay for the license because the solution has no subscription cost."
"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."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"The solution is cheap. I rate its pricing as three out of ten."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"This product is more cost-effective than some others on the market."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is less expensive than Ruckus, but its price could be improved to make it more affordable and accessible."
"Ubiquiti has a good price compared to the other ones."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The tool's price is very friendly."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive, and ten is cheap, I rate Ubiquiti WLAN's pricing a five to six out of ten."
