Tanaza vs TP-Link Omada SDN

Tanaza is a cloud platform for deploying Wi-Fi networks and managing Wi-Fi services for business customers. It brings access points, SSIDs, and clients into one management platform, with real-time performance monitoring, channel optimization, and email alerts when issues arise. Zero-touch provisioning lets administrators configure devices remotely before they are sent to customer premises. For public hotspots, a splash page editor allows customization of the authentication page. TanazaOS is Linux-based and compatible with access points from different brands. Its Marketplace lists add-ons such as historical statistics, API, and voucher login, along with integrations including Ads4WiFi, Cloud4Wi, and Classic Hotspot. The Basic plan includes core features and standard support free, without a time limit, for up to three devices. Pro costs $1.99 a month per device, or $19.99 a year per device, and includes unlimited devices and priority support. The listed platforms are Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. Tanaza was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Milan, Italy.

TP-Link Omada SDN centralizes management of enterprise networks built from security gateways, switches and wireless access points. Administrators can configure supported Omada routers and network devices through one platform, with tools for network discovery, configuration management and backups. The hybrid deployment options include a software controller and cloud management. Omada Cloud Essentials provides free cloud management for unlimited devices, including network topology and VLAN management. Omada Cloud supports zero-touch provisioning for remote setup, and its monitoring features include network summaries and warnings about abnormal events.

The Omada app can connect to hardware, software and cloud controllers for local or remote administration. The Open API supports REST GET and POST requests, returns JSON and uses OAuth for authentication and authorization. The software controller is free for centralized management of up to 1,500 devices, with capacity dependent on PC or server hardware. Cloud Essentials is also lifetime free; Cloud Standard lists a device license fee but no price. Controller management applies only to certain TP-Link models, and the controller cannot discover or manage third-party devices.
