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

"The initial setup is not complicated."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"This product is easy to use."
"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."
"When this solution is set up, it is solid. It offers fast deployment."
"Omada Access Points are very good in terms of wired technologies and wired connectivity."
"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."
"I use Ubiquiti WLAN because it's cheap and performs well. The range is its best feature for improving network performance."
"would rate the scalability a nine out of ten. It is very scalable."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network."
"It is similar to the switches, where it is one of those things where it just works. They are very reliable."
"The management features are valuable."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."
"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."
"Omada needs improvement in the distance it can cover."
"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."
"The solution takes a long time to switch to another connection, which should be improved."
"The technical support could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in providing the flexibility to change the default management VLAN from VLAN one to another for enhanced security."
"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."
"The solution should include and expand on a central management system."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"The product could be improved with more extensive documentation or resources for network engineers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."
"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."
"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."
"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."
"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."
"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."
"When comparing the price of Ubiquiti WLAN to Aruba the price is reasonable."
"The tool's licensing costs are life-time charges."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is fairly well priced and available as a one-time purchase."
"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."

"I would rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten. It is high."
"There is no licensing cost for this solution."
"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."
