Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 31, 2024

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar and Mojo Networks compete in the wireless networking category. Alcatel-Lucent seems to have the upper hand with its software-defined controller and centralized management that outperforms competitors in quality, coverage, and performance.

Features: Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar offers extensive scalability, centralization, and redundancy features through its software-defined controller, which provides centralized management. It includes integrated tools and perpetual licenses, making it budget-friendly. Mojo Networks provides a plug-and-play setup with superior security features like Advanced Layer 7 and WIPS technology. It also offers cloud-based analytics and guest Wi-Fi features to enhance network monitoring.

Room for Improvement: Users have noted that Alcatel-Lucent could enhance its web interface and third-party system integration.

An Easily Deployable and User-Friendly Solution with Rapid Installation

The support of this solution is great. The timeliness of their responses is crucial for me. When I raise an issue, I can count on receiving a prompt reply, eliminating the need for extensive online searches or phone calls. This efficiency is paramount in saving time. In the rare instances where problems arise, they are usually swiftly addressed.

Robert Wambani

Offers great control and visibility to users, along with availability on the cloud

The other solutions did not offer the visibility that Mojo Networks offered. During the rolling out of the installation process, you have to go through the on-premises model to be able to make some changes. If somebody needs to make necessary changes, you must go to the on-premises model with the initial product. With the cloud solution, you don't have to go for the on-premises model, as you can make the changes over the cloud. The stability offered by Mojo Networks is better than the other products available in the market since, with other tools, you need to keep restarting them frequently, and it may be required once or twice a day, especially if it is used as an enterprise solution or in an enterprise environment, where the traffic is too high, causing the build-up of a lot of cache memory, fill-ups, and SRAM, a reason why one will have to restart such products.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I have not seen any downtime in the tool."

"There is a definite ROI with this product. This product creates a baseline of technology that will be a means to grow from five to ten years from now. By using this solution, it is an investment on the installation of that baseline."

"The solution allows you to see the SNMP packets, the DPI packets, and the SNMP server."

"Express in default configuration mode with first turn-on is easy to set up and deploy from a medium installation standpoint."

"One feature that differentiates Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar from some other vendors is the fact that on-premise OmniVista licenses are perpetual."

"I have worked with different solutions in the past and switched to Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar because of its quick installation time. It requires no additional preparation. The product is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support of this solution is great. The timeliness of their responses is crucial for me. When I raise an issue, I can count on receiving a prompt reply, eliminating the need for extensive online searches or phone calls."

"The features aren't much different than those in Aruba, but deployment is easier to configure and the pricing is better."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

More Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar pros

"Their Cognitive WiFi analytics (Mojo Aware) is the biggest feature on their dashboard. It helps us know where the problem, so we don't have to spend time with the customer diagnosing it."

"Initial setup was straightforward."

"It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product."

"We have found Mojo to be critical for us because of its patented security and its wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS). It is unique in the market."

"We just plugged it in and it worked. That just doesn't happen. We plugged it in and it worked and all 100 kids got on the test and started testing."

"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."

"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."

"The initial setup was easy."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"Better integration with third-party systems is what our customers are expecting in the future."

"The current implementation of our Guest Access network in isolation for Express mode is very complicated in comparison with leading market solutions."

"Most customers are asking for an on-premises hardware architecture while it is available as a software-based architecture."

"It is not possible to integrate Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar with third-party software like Opera, a property management system (PMS)."

"There are occasional OS bugs."

"I would prefer to have the integrated heat map feature provided by the basic controller in the Solution instead of purchasing an external one. Accessing this capability directly within the controller's access point would be convenient."

"If the customers plan to go on the cloud side, they need encryption and daily communications from a security perspective."

"Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar's radio management side could be improved."

More Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar cons

"Further expanding the API and access to even more diagnostics, as I have found a few limitations when I am dealing with them right now."

"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."

"They could use more additional application security and network security features. They could add on to the WiFi as a selling point. It would be nice to be able to say to the WiFi users, "We will protect you against viruses and malware, so you don't have to purchase that.""

"The user interface could use improvement, and Mojo is working on it. The features and functions are in two different places, and they are in the process of moving them into one place."

"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."

"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."

"The distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."

"Compared to other OEMs, Mojo Networks or Arista faces a little bit of coverage issues. So, if we put the same dBm, the power of the other OEMs indicates much more extensive coverage compared to Mojo or Arista."

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is cost-effective, according to our sales team's feedback."

"The price of this product is average and it is a one-time, perpetual license."

"It's pricey, but better than similar solutions."

"We find the price comparable to other products on the market."

"At times, it appears that the solution's pricing is slightly higher. This makes it challenging to persuade customers who primarily focus on the price."

"Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar is a mid-range solution with respect to pricing."

"The price is in the range of other brands like Cisco, maybe a little cheaper but you get the same features, facilities, and security. Licensing is something Alcatel is making changes to. A few years ago you would buy a WLAN solution from Alcatel for half the price of Cisco, but you would spend the same amount on licensing. Today this is different and the licensing is cheaper."

"We have a term that is renewed every three years."

"Of every solution we looked at, every wireless solution, Mojo was a minimum of six figures cheaper. Minimum. Most of them were double, which again is unheard of. Not only do you get all the feature benefits, like everything is there, everything just works, but at the same time, it was a no-brainer, because of the cost. It's almost like you hit the lottery."

"The pricing was a good value and substantially less than some of the other products that we looked at. In some cases, with some of the big names, this product was even close to half the price."

"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."

"The cost is a one-time fee."

"They have been a great price competitor against some of the other big brands, like Meraki, especially for cloud-based WiFi. However, Meraki has been more expensive. They beat Meraki on features for the WiFi, which makes them a better choice even if the price is the same."

"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
