Strong performance supports network team effectively but guest access compatibility needs improvement

We connect the network using Aruba Wireless. We connect our office network, and we use it primarily within our network team Aruba Wireless has many features, especially their state-of-the-art controller, which can be connected to the cloud. They also have an unlimited lifetime warranty, which is…

Centralized management has simplified remote branch control and improved network visibility

Cisco Meraki Wireless is very powerful and very easy to manage. The solution is also integrating Cisco Catalyst Wireless products into their portfolio, and they are managing the Catalyst switches as well. The seamless roaming capabilities function well. I monitor network performance with Meraki's real-time analytics. The most useful metrics to my team are the internet performance metrics, as there is a lot of information in the dashboard that I can access. All auditing and event logs are centralized in the dashboard. When I need to apply to compliance requirements or other regulatory needs, I can have my auditing in one place, which is an advantage. I use Cisco Meraki Wireless's Layer 7 application traffic shaping with the MX and the Meraki MX Firewalls.

CTO at JabJabGroup

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 like the way it groups and manages access points."

"Clearpass solution from Aruba."

"Its manageability of APs is the most valuable feature: ease of adding APs and the ability to configure the APs on the fly. Also, their support engineers are great to work with."

"The biggest selling point was the ability to create two different SSIDs to control public versus private wireless networks."

"The feature that I love the most is being able to broadcast different SSIDs with different protocol requirements. "

"Aruba Wireless has its own protocols in the controller that are managed by the firewall of our company."

"Scalability has been one of the easiest aspects of the Aruba Instant product line. As long as the models are compatible, you can simply connect it to your network and it will learn the settings from the other APs on the network and join the AP network."

"The most valuable feature of Aruba Wireless is application monitoring."

More Aruba Wireless pros

"The solution's most valuable features at that time were the ease of managing on the cloud without having a server and the authentication using RADIUS integrated with the server on the cloud."

"The most valuable feature is cloud management."

"I have found the scalability to be very good."

"It is cloud-based. It has a GUI rather than a command line, and it just works."

"The product's most beneficial feature impacting network security is the ability to provide centralized security management."

"With Cisco products and third-party products, integration of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is good."

"Provided reliability and a good price."

"The emailing of statuses is the most valuable feature."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pros

"The initial setup was easy."

"The solution is very stable."

"It's scalable. You don't have to configure an access point. Literally, if I needed a new one, I just take it right out of the box, go plug it into our network. It finds our Mojo network, and then it talks to the other access points that are close to it, and then it literally adopts the policies, and meshes itself in our network."

"The stability of the solution has been good. We haven't had any issues."

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

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

"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."

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

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"They should provide usage guides and solutions to frequent problems."

"The price is high and not too reasonable. It is very high compared to other products."

"Configuration for this solution could be made easier, so people could benefit from being able to configure it within a quicker amount of time."

"Currently, the stability of the code is the basic underlying problem for us. They had an 8.6 release that came out two weeks ago, but we had to migrate twice because the code wasn't stable. We can't get things to work the same way. Version 8 was a big change for them. They made a change so that it is forced to be a managed hierarchical system. It means that you make changes at the top, and it pushes them downstream. There are a lot of problems with the 8.6 version code. I ran into four bugs in one week and was informed that we should just move onto the next one because all of those fixes have taken place. The feedback loop for fixes is not always really relayed back to you. I don't have a lot of strong things to say about version 8.6. When we had version 6, the controller was pretty much rock solid. We had no problems. We made a heavy investment to migrate a lot of stuff to take advantage of things like WPA3, Wi-Fi 6, and all that kind of stuff, and we haven't been able to turn those features on because we are not confident that they are going to work just yet. So, right now, we're still very much stumbling through the version 8.6 code and just trying to make sure that it is safe before we turn on some of those features. In terms of the marketplace, they are one of the top three leaders. In some respects, one of the things that they focus on is wireless. Therefore, there are some things that should be beyond reproach, as far as I'm concerned. In terms of the stability of the code, there are always going to be bugs, but the core stability of the code needs to be there. When it is not stable, that's a real problem for me because you lose a lot of confidence in the products."

"The pricing could be better."

"Aruba Wireless has room to improve the connection from one AP to another."

"The bad things about the product are the price, the information about the product, and the time it takes to deliver the product."

"Aruba Wireless is a good product, but it still has some issues, especially at the beginning, where there's inconsistent syncing between the cloud and the APs. Sometimes, there's also a little lag when accessing the query."

More Aruba Wireless cons

"We would like to see Wi-Fi 6 support for devices sold in the Middle East."

"Meraki is still very much a small office type of solution. It is not a fit for large enterprise networks, as it doesn't have tunneling functionalities."

"Cisco offers pretty expensive devices."

"It lags a bit in providing reports for Wi-Fi performance."

"Unfortunately, we have to deal with European privacy laws and as far as we can see, the solution is not compliant with these. It's why we're not able to continue with Cisco Meraki. They need to become compliant with GDPR laws."

"When we are using SSID roaming, it is not flexible in terms of which AP it connects to."

"There are some problems with their technical support when it comes to the whole Meraki system."

"Despite being enabled, I've encountered an issue where the alert main dashboard fails to detect when any of the devices go down. Hence, the tool's notification feature should improve. We have also faced issues with integration."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN cons

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

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

"The customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."

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

"Needs greater simplicity in the management portal. Currently, the Mojo portal presents different “apps” to configure the devices, create splash pages, configure security settings, and monitor the network. This can be confusing, although Mojo has made great strides in combining these into “Aware”."

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

"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."

"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."

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Besides paying for the APs, you need to pay a license each year for their use. Therefore, watch out for that and do the best you can to keep costs down."

"There is so much licensing, you literally pay for every solution, add-on, or cool feature. Compared to others, we were in the middle with pricing, but as you start to invest more into features it will get very pricey."

"Pricing support has always been cost-effective."

"I think they should lower their prices."

"Get multiple bids/quotes, and talk to the representatives about the limitations of the product; pretty standard."

"In terms of pricing, the pricing for Aruba Wireless is not bad for large-sized companies, but for medium-sized companies, it's on the higher end, but because Aruba has a good company image, medium-sized companies still go with Aruba Wireless."

"The pricing is fair and similar to other products."

"The price point is pretty high compared to Ubiquiti and other equipment."

More Aruba Wireless pricing and cost advice

"The cost of both the hardware and licensing is high, and it is more than what I would prefer to spend currently."

"Its price is high and should be reduced."

"The cost is not so much for Wireless LAN, but when you have to get the security license, it costs a lot."

"It is expensive."

"Higher subscription fee may be necessary if extra features are required."

"This solution is slightly more expensive than others, such as Ruckus Wi-Fi."

"We do a three-year or five-year license and support. Its price could be better, but overall, we get competitive prices. A lot of times, Cisco puts itself out of range, especially with Meraki. I've dealt with a lot of business development from Cisco, and they have always been accommodating, especially in dealing with hospitals or government. There is also a right time to buy it. July is when they are eager to sell a lot of things because that is the end of their calendar year."

"It is expensive, but it is a good product."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"The price of the solution is too high for our country."

"The cost is a one-time fee."

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

"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."

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

"Pricing includes the planning tools, management, security, analytics, and advanced guest WiFi capabilities. It's always better to buy the longest term available for the best ROI. However, device will continue to function without valid cloud license."
