Ubiquiti Unifi VS TP-Link Omada

In this video we take a look and compare Ubiquiti Unifi vs TP-Link Omada. We compare some of the access points, switches and routers and then we take a look at the software controllers and create networks and WIFI networks

**Note Unifi just release multi-wan on UDM and UDM PRO this is recent and I forgot to mention it in the video ***

I’m a network novice. Every time I watch one of your videos, I learn a bit more. Right now, I am planning a home network built around Unifi.

Great video kodi. I am about to build a home network using omada which will include a router, Poe+ switch, 4 access point, a Raspberry pi4/Hp thin client t620 running Docker for Omada controller and Home assistant. I have learnt quite a few things watching your video. Hope you do some more videos on Omada especially about firewall rules for IOT and Guest. Keep up the great work man!

[Dreamtwisterk]

Thank you!! I'm glad someone finally did. I've been wondering if the silence from content creators about the similarities of these two ecosystem was being "enforced" by either one of these companies. It can't be pure coincidence that these interfaces are so alike! Thank you!!

[evrenior]

Kodi, it's a great video. Thank you for your work!

[Kesarbe]

Thanks indeed! 
I would love to see a detailed comparison of the multi-WAN possibilities with regard to failover, load balancing, and policy routing (assigning VLAN X to WAN Y). Even though I understood the UDM Pro is currently limited to failover only - one of the reasons why I'm considering TP-Link instead.

[Aneudys]

Thanks for all the videos Cody!! Also thanks for the comparison, I have been going back and forth between upgrading to the UDM Pro or go with TP-Link since they have been coming a bit popular now. Do you still prefer Unifi over TP-Link?

[abrahamamit]

Hi Cody, Thanks for the video. I would like to have an opinion from you. Since you are more a Ubiquiti than the TP-link kinda guy, would you recommend deploying the Omada ecosystem to a medium size campus? I just inherited this IT position at the local non profit organization. Currently we have the Cisco Meraki ecosystem which we want to get rid off because of the expensive recurring licensing.

[shipitin]

Quantitative analysis not qualitative, so rather dull viewing. A month or two to revise this, I have now learnt enough to understand so appreciate all the info in a succinct delivery!

[CharlLeRoux]

HI Cody, am I correct to say that Unifi supports IPV6 accross the landscape while Omada doesn't?

[davm]

Thanks for the video Cody! I appreciate the information and material on the TP-LINK Omada ecosystem. I hope TP Link is watching. I'd appreciate a comparison to show where TP Link comes up short in a smart home with IoT devices in their own VLAN. Without mDNS and a few other features, I haven't been able to get the setup I've seen from many others with the Ubiquiti gear. Its very unfortunate. Hopefully your channel can get their attention.

[Elandro]

Great Video! How are options for bandwidth control looking like at Omada? Can you limit the speed on VLan level? At unifi, this can only be done on a WiFi level

[danielarturotorresmares]

soy nuevo, felicidades por tu video desde México, ¿a que te refieres con servidor incorporado? ya que quiero utilizar radius con unos UAP-AC-LITE.

Kudos on the video! Would be interesting to see the cost difference between some typical deployments...is there a case where one shines over the other?

[luizcezarquaquio]

Nice video man! Could you do something similar for the performance?

[azizplays]

Thank you for this it was very helpful

[anthonyingersoll]

I finally completed my ubiquiti build at the house. I have a wide variety of Ubiquiti switches, access points and I have the UDM Pro. I also have an aggregation switch (Ubiquiti Fiber) amongst other devices such as NAS and UPS.

[---GOD---]

Dude, why did it take this long for someone to make a video like this LOL

[jasonluong]

I don’t know why both vendors can’t include a switch into their hardware controllers? Instead we are forced to have another box in our setup. The controller is basically all software not requiring any specific hardware to run.

[randalllawkin]

cool nice vid what do you think about Engenius?

[bradleyboots]

I had not considered TPLink for SoHo installations but now you can not find Unifi equipment. Looks like I'll be trying a TPLink installation.
