Omada Access Points Reviews

We primarily use the solution for SMB users to cover areas for WiFi. It can be used in homes and businesses. It's not ideal for larger applications.

The stability is very good.

It is easy to set up.

The pricing is reasonable. 

It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable. 

We're like to have more visibility in terms of who is connecting to the service. That would help us to monitor bandwidth more effectively.

I've used the solution for a few years. 

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It is not extremely scalable. It's more suitable for smaller setups. YOu can also just have a limited number of users. The more users on it, the lower quality of the connection.

We have five or six people on the product right now. 

We did not contact technical support in the past.

We did use a solution previously. However, that was a long time ago.

The initial setup is pretty simple. It's very plug-and-play. You just set up everything and connect everything to the LAN.

It took me about half an hour to deploy it. We can set up some parameters, and you are done. 

You don't really need anyone to handle maintenance. It's a small setup.

We can handle the setup ourselves. It's pretty easy if you just follow the guidance in order to set up the solution. It helps if you have a bit of knowledge. 

It is not expensive. At this time, I don't have a license for it. I don't need to pay for licensing. 

I'm not sure of the exact version of the solution we're using. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. The solution is reasonably priced, stable, and easy to deploy.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

I am using TP-Link Auranet EAP for connecting multiple networks and devices at the same time.

The most valuable feature of TP-Link Auranet EAP is its high performance.

There should be more remote support for the mobile application.

I have been using TP-Link Auranet EAP for approximately four years.

TP-Link Auranet EAP is stable.

The solution is salable. However, I have only used it personally at home. There are five to six people using the solution in my home.

I have not contacted the support from TP-Link Auranet EAP.

I have used other solutions prior to using TP-Link Auranet EAP. This solution is quicker and has a capable mobile application to monitor changes and settings.

The initial setup was simple and took one day to do.

I did the deployment of the solution myself.

The price of the solution is not a lot for five people to use it.

I rate TP-Link Auranet EAP a nine out of ten.

I use the tool in my network support. 

The solution's most valuable feature is its price. 

Aruba has better scaling capabilities. 

I have been using the product for a year. 

My company has one access point since it is small. 

I haven't contacted the tool's technical support yet. 

The tool's deployment is easier since it has a mobile application. 

The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs.

I would recommend the product due to its pricing. I rate it a five out of ten. However, I believe that Aruba is better than Omada Access Points. Aruba is also good for scaling but expensive, while Omada Access Points is better for small companies. 

We are a telecom operator in Romania, and we use Omada equipment to provide services to our customers. It's bundled into a service package that we sell to B2B customers who pay a subscription. The Omada controller is installed at our office, and the access points are deployed to the customer's location. While we normally cater to small and medium-sized enterprises, this is a solution that we sell to large enterprise companies. 

We have been using Omada with open SSIDs and maybe an external Compass portal. When you are on an open wireless network, you must also isolate your client because it is not secure otherwise. The other method is to have an SSID with a password, and the password is typically not given to everyone. it's mostly for the staff. 

The other SSID has a setting that allows devices to communicate with each other on the local network or with some external agents. It's typically used by staff as a business hub. 

We use the mesh networking capabilities, but it's not one of the main features we use. We've used it off and on, but we generally refrain from using the mesh network. Instead, we typically run the access points through the cable to make sure the connection is always on. 

For example, we have been using only one mesh, not multiple hubs because the performance usually degrades with every hub. If I were setting up a multi-hub mesh without Omada,  I would see a reduction of speed by about half, so the first has maybe 500 megabytes and the second has 250, etc. That's not efficient. We prefer to use cable when possible. 

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.

I have used Omada since 2020, so it has been nearly 4 years.

Omada is fairly stable. 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's scalability is pretty good. We have around 2,000 access points, and it runs on a Windows virtual machine without using many resources. 

I rate Omada technical support eight out of 10. We mostly do not need support. In one case, they helped us customize our solution, and I was pretty satisfied. 

Positive

I rate Omada eight out of 10 for ease of setup. We faced some issues. For example, we couldn't find anything in the documentation about which user and password to use when onboarding access points to the VMware platform. Periodically, the access points do not show, and we must search for various software versions. There is no compatibility feedback showing which access points are compatible.

Cisco has this documentation on the website, and you can also do a compatibility matrix between access points and wireless controllers. With Omada, you only have a normal controller. 

We're making more with Omada than we are spending. The only issue is that we are not making that much money because we sell it cheaper. However, the profit margin is pretty decent. It's at least as good as the Cisco and Aruba access points. It isn't better. Even if the margin is a higher percentage, it's actually lower in the absolute value. Still, the solution is cheaper, so I would consider it a net positive. We're not necessarily making a lot of money with it, but we are using this to leverage other solutions, and I think it's doing a pretty good job. 

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. 

I rate Omada Access Points nine out of 10. If I were only comparing it to other access points without external antennas, I would give it a 10 out of 10. However, Cisco and Aruba have all kinds of access points with external antennas. As far as I know, Omada has no access points with external antennas. That's one area where they could improve to be more of a carrier-grade solution and become more competitive with Cisco or Aruba. The pricing is better. 

Omada works well no matter where you put it, whether it's a hotel or a residential complex. It just works. The main attraction of Omada isn't the price. The technical specs are quite good. It's on par or very close to Cisco or Aruba Wireless. 

Currently we are using it for our mobile users, the users that always carry mobile devices and some laptop users but very few. TP Link is just good for them, we also use it for guest access.

As a consumer of TP Link, they don't have any boosting or unique features. All features are common features for any business solutions, its benefit is that it is cost effective.

The quality of the hardware needs to be improved.

I would say the stability of this product is normal.

It is easy to use, and easy to configure. 

When choosing a a solution for our company, we focus on two things:

• Business Support
• Price

We have tried other products but they are too expensive, and not in our budget. The only option for us is TP Link.

It has all the common solutions that all other solutions provide. But it is very effective, I was planning to go for Ruckus, but its cost is 60% less than Ruckus. In our region, for Ruckus I have to pay $15,000 to have 25 access points. For TP Link I just need $5,000. So, you can see the level of difference.

Our goal is for the people of Dhaka to be able to have WiFi from their mobile devices, and this is why we are using TP-Link Auranet EAP.

TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it.

I used TP-Link Auranet EAP within the last 12 months.

We have not been satisfied with the performance of TP-Link Auranet EAP.

The coverage of TP-Link Auranet EAP is very low, it is approximately 45 meters.

We had approximately 200 people using the solution.

The initial setup is not complicated. However, mounting the device is not simple.

I would not recommend this solution to others.

I rate TP-Link Auranet EAP a seven out of ten.
