"The meshing could use improvement but aside from that nothing else really needs improvement."
"Technical support needs improvement. We use the forum for technical support assistance, but it's not enough. If you're talking with a technician, they're in India. They cannot give you the service that you need. Sometimes have problems with some personal services and technical support is not helpful in this area."
"There is an issue with flooding to the Aruba access point on the ports."
"Although built-in troubleshooting tools are available, they are not at all intuitive to use. Aruba Instant lacks decent documentation to use for troubleshooting wireless issues (fortunately there aren’t many)."
"It is a software characteristic, and it is during the reboot. During the startup of the AP, the AP tells you that you are using the wrong password. However, I have realized that this is not true."
"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."
"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."
"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."
"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."
"It is less affordable for smaller businesses."
"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."
