Offers robust network management with cost considerations for large deployments

Large enterprises typically invest in FortiAnalyzer, though our company and SMB clients don't require this analysis tool. We use Ekahau for floor planning and Wi-Fi coverage analysis rather than Fortinet FortiWLM's built-in features. Ekahau helps us perform site surveys and plan access point placement. Fortinet FortiWLM is a flexible and common solution in Dubai. It's one of the best-selling products, with Etisalat, the largest ISP, installing Fortinet FortiGate for approximately 70-80% of their clients. The solution offers different series to accommodate various needs. The triple radio model costs around $1,000 (3,500 dirham) and supports 40-50 connected devices. The 231F model suits smaller deployments of 20-25 devices. I rate Fortinet FortiWLM a seven out of ten. While it's an excellent solution, Cisco remains the market leader.

Robert Wambani

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

"The system is more responsive for the users and we now have a system that can cope with future demands: now that we have the space and the bandwidth we need, we have the ability to create the new systems that the users want."

"Users have been very pleased with the solution as it offers such a high-speed connection."

"Basic initial setup is very easy when it comes to a new user on-premise."

"The most beneficial feature for network management is stability."

"It's a stable solution; we haven't had any issues, and it's reliable with good performance."

"The solution is stable."

"Their technological improvements and innovations are always great."

"With Aruba Wireless Controller, all our access points are connected to one controller. Through that controller, we can actually handle each access point; we can disconnect or connect that access point, and then we can tell, or see, or allow how many users are, or should be, connected through that access point."

More Aruba Wireless pros

"If you do have a FortiGate Firewall somewhere in the network, you can connect the wireless controller to that... You get 100 percent visibility from a single point... You can see everything that's connected to the FortiGate, whether it's a switch or a wireless AP or a wireless controller or any other Fortinet product."

"This is the only product on the market currently that supports as many access points for wifi users."

"We can deploy a tunnel-based VLAN and SSID, for something that happens at the last minute, in a matter of minutes, because of the interaction between the FortiGate, the FortiSwitches, and the FortiAPs."

"Security is the feature we like most from Fortinet. In general, their security architecture is really great, because it involves everything: firewalls, wireless LANs, the user. Everything is really secure."

"For me, the ease of setup and the rugged nature in harsh environments are most valuable. So, durability and ease of use have been its best features."

"The most useful aspect of Fortinet FortiWLM is that you can manage all the Fortinet products from one portal, from one device."

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWLM is the single management pane and integrated controller inside the firewall."

"Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten."

More Fortinet FortiWLM pros

"At certain points, there are hardware updates and they send notifications before they do the updates."

"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."

"The configuration is simple and the reports can be automated."

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

"Arista Mojo Wifi has improve stability, visibility anf performance across our enterprise."

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

"Altogether, they are unbeatable in the market."

"The Mojo has proved to handle these high-density requirements and perform better than many competitive devices."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"Some model of APs went bad over time."

"Aruba’s poor performance and random upgrade issues caused too much time consuming maintenance and troubleshooting."

"Aruba adds more and more features to them all the time, but having to buy additional licenses for new features can get pretty expensive, especially when a client wants to stay up-to-date."

"We've had some issues with stability for Mac and iOS users where we've had to disconnect."

"Needs improvement in point-to-point deployment products."

"Aruba Wireless could improve the interface, it does not have a smart web interface. Other solutions have smart web interfaces, such as Cisco Meraki."

"The user interface could be improved in Aruba Wireless. This would make the setup easier."

"Sometimes the configuration is difficult."

More Aruba Wireless cons

"Documentation could be improved."

"The guest management features need to be improved by adding automation."

"They have a business model where whatever you buy, you must make a service contract. But it seems a little bit like a moneymaking machine rather than a necessity."

"Sometimes we feel that we are buying the top-of-the-line technology and, six months or eight months later, we feel it is already obsolete."

"Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration."

"In the next release, they could improve by adding a controller-less server, or architecture that is provided in other solutions, such as Aruba. Additionally, they could improve the feature sets to be more competitive."

"Technical support is very poor. We are not satisfied with the technical support because there is not any direct person from Fortinet for any troubleshooting, which we expected."

"The guest management features need to be improved by adding automation."

More Fortinet FortiWLM cons

"The price should be lowered. It is too high for our country."

"My only complaint about this product is its availability."

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

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

"Both 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."

"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."

"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The access points are more cost-effective over some other providers, both in cost per AP and the option of a controller-less environment."

"The system was very good, but we needed to upgrade in order to adapt for our needs, and doing so with Aruba would have been more expensive. "

"The price of Aruba Wireless should be cheaper."

"Aruba Wireless is very attractive cost-wise."

"The price of Aruba Wireless has a more competitive price than other solutions."

"It offers a lower cost compared to other products, which is a significant advantage."

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

"The solution's cost is affordable."

More Aruba Wireless pricing and cost advice

"The solution is expensive. I give the solution a one out of ten for the price."

"Fortinet would do something with their pricing model to attract smaller business users and eliminate the mandatory service contracts."

"The price of Fortinet FortiWLM is reasonable compared to the other vendors. We are using a five-year license."

"Fortinet FortiWLM's pricing is regular and competitive."

"For indoor access points, there is a one-time cost, upfront, whereas outdoor access points have an annual fee."

"Support contracts typically cost approximately $100.00 per year."

"There is a perpetual license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."

"Licensing costs are reasonable. There are so many different types of licenses with Fortinet, but the licensing and the 24/7/365 support are so reasonable that I automatically include it with every transaction. I never line item it without it. There are no additional costs."

More Fortinet FortiWLM pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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