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. There are complications in guest access configuration and a need for improved radio management. Mojo Networks could improve by simplifying the management portal and enhancing diagnostics.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar provides straightforward on-premises deployment, although international technical support can sometimes face delays. Mojo Networks supports a hybrid cloud infrastructure, focusing on ease of use and rapid plug-and-play deployment. Its customer service is robust, providing reliable and helpful technical support.

Pricing and ROI: Alcatel-Lucent is positioned in the mid-range pricing but offers attractive perpetual licensing, making it competitive against high-end brands.

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.

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

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

"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."

"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."

"We are very satisfied with the performance."

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

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

"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."

More Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar pros

"It has given us a huge leg-up when competing with other managed service providers who use different vendors because of the visibility it gives us to customers' traffic for troubleshooting purposes."

"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."

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

"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."

"The technical support for the solution is very helpful."

"Built-in guest analytics and advanced guest portal features allow our customers to create a guest experience which is typically only available with complex and expensive third-party software."

"For support, we do not have to deal with a whole phone menu tree. You get to talk to an engineer right away."

"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."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"It needs to be faster in order to process and transmit bigger packets."

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"There are occasional OS bugs."

More Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar cons

"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."

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

"The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."

"The RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved."

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

"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."

"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.""

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"The cost is a one-time fee."

"Since they have only the cloud and on-premises platform, the price looks good compared to the other OEMs like Cisco and Ruckus. For one of the Wi-Fi 6 access points for five years, they might be charging 20,000 to 25,000 INR."

"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."

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

"There are other solutions, like Ubiquiti, that have lowered their prices, which sometimes makes the argument to go with them. However, we do not bake in the WiFi for other vendors into our managed services, because they do not meet our standard offering."
