Experience seamless connectivity with top-notch roaming capabilities

The Aruba Wireless solution has excellent roaming capabilities, ensuring seamless connectivity. Once installed, Aruba Wireless works robustly without overheating issues. This is particularly effective compared to other products I've used, like FortiMonitor and FortiAPs, which sometimes heat up. I am very satisfied with the roaming feature, as it ensures connectivity when moving from one location to another. The product's stability, after setting it up, adds to its value.

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 access points support a high number of connected clients."

"Aruba allowed for the detailed control and management of an entire WiFi network from a single screen backed by a support team with local SEs who work with business partners to ensure the product's success."

"The most valuable feature of Aruba Wireless is multi-tenancy."

"I like the analytics feature."

"Aruba is easier than Juniper."

"We were able to increase capacity very easily."

"I think Aruba Wireless' Wi-Fi 6 capability is something that really makes a difference. We used to have bottlenecks. Each user has one laptop on one mobile device, so that equals 40 devices connecting to one AP. The Wi-Fi 5 series couldn't handle the traffic during peak hours, and when I say "peak hours," I mean Monday at 11 a.m. We used to see a lot of packet drops, but we haven't seen that problem at all since we moved to Wi-Fi 6."

"It provides excellent performance and security through the use of available features and policies, reducing the reliance on external firewall configurations while ensuring a secure and reliable network environment."

More Aruba Wireless pros

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

"The most valuable features in Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN are that we were able to see all the registered users for each particular WAP, which is a big help. The roaming allows us to have continuous wireless throughout the building. The signal can carry over from one WAP to another. Which is probably the most important feature."

"Provided reliability and a good price."

"It is a scalable solution."

"The product is super stable. I would rate the stability a ten."

"Its ability to be cloud-managed is the most valuable feature so if there's a reconfiguration or an issue, we have excellent visibility into the network and we can usually resolve the problem online without having to go onsite."

"There are many valuable features of Cisco Meraki, including the switches, stacking, and layer 3 routing."

"The most amazing part is that their Access Points have the ability to connect to multiple conference devices at different times, and it shows you the very in-depth Wi-Fi analytics through their dashboard."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pros

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

"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs."

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

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

"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."

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

"The most important feature is ease of use. We can simply take an access point and plug it in, then it is automatically configured for us."

"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"There needs to be better visibility on the day-to-day monitoring."

"The latest design of their APs removes the console port and requires purchasing an expensive proprietary cable just to access the console."

"Lacks a heat map analysis and a cloud-based wireless controller."

"One area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is its dashboard or interface because in some cases, it's not as easy to use as it should be, but overall, it's okay. Pricing for the product is also on the higher side. Another area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is technical support because it's hard to reach when issues arise and the speed of answer could be faster. Other areas for improvement in the product include integration and configuration."

"The access points could be cheaper."

"They should have more support for implementing Aruba Wireless in Smart Cities and outdoor applications."

"The management system would be better if it were more polished, if it had a better interface like, for example, Meraki"

"The reliability could be improved."

More Aruba Wireless cons

"This solution could benefit from a heat mapping ability so that you can tell where the hotspots are, and where the good signals are."

"The initial setup of the solution can be improved and made easier."

"In some cases, they could include enhanced features in the product, such as a firewall console and traffic analysis."

"The commercial version of the solution could be cheaper."

"The biggest pain point is that they limit you through firewall throughput. I understand why they do it, but that really grates me. For instance, for 450 Mbps throughput, you're looking at £800 for a router, whereas if you look at the one gig connection, for some of us are lucky enough to have a gig connection, you could almost be spending £3,000 for the option to have one gig connectivity. That's one of the pain points I've got. I don't mind paying for throughput, but I should at least have the option to be able to update that throughput, maybe through extra licensing or something else. It is crazy expensive to jump through to the next one."

"It would be nice to have licensing that stays in place while the system is being renovated or changed."

"The solution's pricing could be improved."

"The solution could be cheaper."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN cons

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

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

"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."

"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."

"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."

"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."

"Something that could be improved is the ability to easily and quickly see what speed someone is on and if there are any issues on the network. We are using the older software technology, so maybe their newest version is able to do that."

"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.""

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Aruba is probably cheaper than Cisco, and yet you get all the things that you want."

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

"We have some licenses for the solution, and we need not renew licenses. But we need to pay a hundred thousand if you want to renew our subscription and renew the hardware."

"It comes with a relatively higher price tag, but it's essential to assess the value it brings to the market because it actively competes with other players in the industry and dedicates efforts to offer competitive devices."

"Price is fairly expensive, however it is worth it. If the “master” fails, another AP can take over the role."

"When you look at the price it is a higher price than Cisco."

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

"A recent change is that ClearPass licensing is superb. It counts user-based instead of device-based, for BYOD on-boarding."

More Aruba Wireless pricing and cost advice

"It is an expensive solution."

"The price of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN could be improved, it is too expensive. We pay for the solution on an annual basis."

"The price is good, but it could be improved."

"The platform is expensive."

"The solution could improve the licensing structure and the price is expensive."

"It is super expensive for what you get. You also have to buy a license every year. Otherwise, it stops working."

"The price of the product could be cheaper."

"When compared to other vendors, Cisco's pricing is higher."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"The cost is a one-time fee."

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

"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."
