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

"We were coming from a first-generation wireless network, and now I can use RF optimization for controllers."
"Overall, this is a good product and I recommend it."
"With our Aruba configuration, we have a robust, rock-solid, enterprise wireless environment, that is literally maintenance free."
"​Our wireless overhaul has reduced the number of wireless related help desk tickets by nearly 90%.​"
"The support for both on-premises and cloud deployments has proven to be very effective."
"This is the second time I've implemented and installed this solution and I think it is outstanding; the support is excellent and so is the hardware, and we don't need much support because nothing really goes wrong."
"If we really want to know where a specific user is connected, it gives us the ability to see that and how that user is actually receiving. We can know the speed and their IP, their MAC address and, most of the time, how much bandwidth they're using per day."
"We have not had any problems with the stability of the product."
"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."
"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs.​"
"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."
"At certain points, there are hardware updates and they send notifications before they do the updates."
"In summary, there is very little that can be improved with this product."
"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."
"If you go with Mojo, you're not going to be sorry."
 

Cons

"Every month Aruba has new firmware. I don't know if it's good or bad but it's not good in terms of production. We can't upgrade our firmware every month, especially an enterprise company, because if we upgrade our firmware based on the latest firmware that Aruba has, that firmware is not stable. They're not 100 percent sure about it."
"The GUI dashboards should be more user-friendly."
"Our clients complained about the coverage. Their access points should be able to cover 50 meters, but Aruba was only covering 25 to 30 meters, max."
"The speed could be better. I heard that Aruba is trying to shape the speed inside the wireless controller, but that has not been adopted yet. If they put some kind of mechanism inside the wireless controller for the speed such that, "Okay, this many users will have 20 by 20 - 20 in the upload, 20 in the download. Just this many users. And this many users will have that type of speed." I think it would be very good if they actually bring that functionality inside the wireless controller."
"The downside is right now there is a shortage of hardware. It's hard to acquire switches and access points."
"I don't like how the traffic comes out of the controller. Users connect to the wireless APs and all the traffic converges to the controller and then back out again."
"The product should be more affordable, especially the cloud and console for the Aruba product as it is currently very expensive."
"The solution could be improved on the security side."
"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."
"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."
"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."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"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.""
"The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair and similar to other products."
"The solution's cost is affordable."
"Cisco is more expensive than Aruba or Juniper."
"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."
"Aruba is probably cheaper than Cisco, and yet you get all the things that you want."
"The price could be better. Competitors offer more features for a similar cost."
"A recent change is that ClearPass licensing is superb. It counts user-based instead of device-based, for BYOD on-boarding."
"Aruba is less expensive than Cisco."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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 price of the solution is too high for our country."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
"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."
