Wireless network has supported long-term reliable access and simplifies RF optimization
I have experience with Cisco products and the Cisco brand. The product is mainly a hardware product. Regarding the software part, I don't have a lot of experience. Aruba Wireless was not too difficult to set up. When compared with other products such as Cisco, they also have products with wireless controllers, and it's similar to that. I think it should be recommended for both bigger and smaller companies based on the feedback and our experience. I believe there should be AI functions that might help us in some cases of cybersecurity matters, detecting threats regarding security would be better with AI. For this role, I have more than twenty years of experience. I would rate Aruba Wireless eight out of ten overall.

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

"For a newbie type of product, it's not very easy to compete with the market, especially with the Cisco controller manager, but I think Aruba is on top, nowadays, in the market."
"Aruba focuses on high-end WLAN technologies, is now certified with many other vendors to be used in conjunction with their products, and is easy to deploy with many other benefits."
"In our hospital lobby, we have on average 700 clients trying to connect at the same time, and using the software, we've been able to make sure that everyone's able to connect."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Configure one IAP and all the rest self-configure to that one.​"
"The biggest selling point was the ability to create two different SSIDs to control public versus private wireless networks."
"The network strength is good."
"Setup is straightforward."
"Their technological improvements and innovations are always great."
"At certain points, there are hardware updates and they send notifications before they do the updates."
"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs.​"
"Altogether, they are unbeatable in the market."
"It does everything we need it to do, and it scales well, it's stable and offers good security."
"Arista Mojo Wifi has improve stability, visibility anf performance across our enterprise."
"The fact that they are autonomous and can function even without access to the management panel is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Arista Wifi (Mojo) is highly scalable with a single pane of glass for management, and its troubleshooting capabilities and deep insights are praiseworthy, which together reduce management efforts and help you achieve a great ROI."
"The Mojo has proved to handle these high-density requirements and perform better than many competitive devices."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is more complex than other solutions."
"There were some settings which were confusing and unlabeled when trying to use the online help with the newer firmware.​"
"To enhance the system, more work on integration would be beneficial."
"Aruba Wireless is very expensive."
"They need to increase the number of routers on the controller."
"Lots of flexibility but with flexibility comes complexity."
"The location-based software isn't quite there yet and we haven't been able to use it the way that works best for us."
"MAC authentication against an external Radius server while using 802.1X. This feature will help the L2 devices to authenticate via external Radius servers."
"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."
"The user interface needs improvement to make navigation even more simplistic."
"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."
"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"Technical support could be more helpful. They are lacking a bit in that regard."
"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Customers have to pay for perpetual licenses with Aruba controller licenses, depending on the features they are looking for."
"The price of Aruba Wireless is fairly reasonable. It was within our budget."
"The price could be better. Competitors offer more features for a similar cost."
"Licensing is a one time purchase (only the cloud license has to be renewed, which is worth trying out).​"
"I think they should lower their prices."
"I am aiding in transitioning my organization to a different wireless solution due to the cost. We need to expand our network and the cost of new APs and an upgraded controller have proved to be prohibitive compared to similar solutions on the market.​"
"It's not expensive. That is the reason we switched to Aruba."
"I think it would be better if they lowered the price."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"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."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
"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."
"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."
"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 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."
