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…

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

"Aruba Central is a valuable feature because I can monitor access points remotely, even if I'm not in the office."
"The solution has been helpful in improving the way our company functions."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Wireless is the controller. It is easy to use."
"The most valuable functions in Aruba Wireless are the AI-powered performance, which uses AI and machine learning to automatically detect any Wi-Fi issues and fix them, as well as managing all access points from a centralized single point, along with high speed and better performance."
"One advantage is the built-in Zigbee-based IoT functionality. You don't need an additional dongle to enable that option."
"The 335-AP provides reliability, stability."
"Aruba is an industry leader. The hardware is on par, and its performance is also on par with anybody else. The Aruba brand really only focuses on wireless, so they're not competing their R&D for switching data center products and cloud security. They're really focused on that and their underlying key pieces. They provide a role-based authentication that is native to the controller. A lot of other systems don't do that. They won't provide you the ability to basically have everybody join the network, regardless of whether or not they share the same network space, the SSID, or the wireless LAN. You can segment it down to a specific user role based on any kind of attributes that you like. That's their differentiator. If you need per user, per device, or per port segmentation, you can get that with Aruba. There isn't another vendor who does it."
"Aruba Wireless is stable."
"The stability of the solution has been good. We haven't had any issues."
"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs.​"
"The security is a valuable feature."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"We just plugged it in and it worked. That just doesn't happen. We plugged it in and it worked and all 100 kids got on the test and started testing."
"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."
"The configuration is simple and the reports can be automated."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."
 

Cons

"Aruba doesn't match some competitors in wireless signal strength. It isn't in the same class as Cisco Meraki, so I would use Cisco Meraki in situations where I need to cover a large open space. Meraki has more powerful signals going out."
"The initial setup is more complex than other solutions."
"If you want a centralized management system that is able to manage all your networking devices such as the wireless, the switch, the routers, and the firewall, then Aruba may not be the one, because Aruba doesn't do firewalls."
"​The ARM functionality does not always seem to perform how I would like. In some cases, I have had to manually assign channels to avoid channel confusion."
"The reliability could be improved."
"The solution's documentation could be better organized in an information portal."
"There is a lot of information for users about the product, but it needs to be better organized so that solutions are easier to find."
"Support for Aruba Wireless is good, but the skill set of the support engineers and the documentation are not as robust as Cisco."
"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”."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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 setup was complex."
"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."
"The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."
"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Partner had been using Cisco. They switched to Aruba, because of price and functionality, also with an option for adding a SW, like AirWave, Meridian, ClearPass, and Central."
"The pricing has increased and it was always more costly than some of the other solutions available."
"It's not expensive. That is the reason we switched to Aruba."
"Licensing is a one time purchase (only the cloud license has to be renewed, which is worth trying out).​"
"The price is reasonable. I would rate the cost as 8 out of 10."
"​AP signal strength and price. I know this is a competitive market, but APs should not cost so much if they do not cover a large area. ​"
"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.​"
"My main concern about this product is the price. The cost is causing me to look at other vendors and competing products."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"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."
"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."
"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 license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
"The price of the solution is too high for our country."
"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."
"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."
