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

"Although there are other solutions available and some with a lower initial cost, they don't offer the same level of integration with IoT as this solution without having to add additional hardware, which ends up costing more."
"Overall, it's a very strong solution."
"What I like most about Aruba Wireless is its stability, functionality, and performance."
"The feature I found most valuable to customers in Aruba Wireless is not a technical feature. It's more of its image, trademark, or brand as the product is very well-known in the market, and that's a good point to offer to customers. My customers just ask about the basic features of the product, and usually, when asking about Aruba products, customers don't pay too much attention to any specific feature as long as the product is solid and sure, and that you can change or modify it, as what you can get from Aruba Wireless."
"I do not need to buy a controller for the access point since the Aruba Access Point has a built-in virtual controller."
"I have found the Access Point (AP) group profile feature extremely useful. It makes deployments look easy."
"The benefit is the constant delivery of internet bandwidth, as everybody is getting internet access properly, and when 40 - 50 people are sitting in a small area it is capable of delivering internet to them constantly."
"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."
"The fact that they are autonomous and can function even without access to the management panel is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The solution is always easy to use and deploy, and the ease of use is one of the main reasons clients are moving from Cisco to Arista."
"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."
"Built-in guest analytics and advanced guest portal features allow our customers to create a guest experience which is typically only available with complex and expensive third-party software."
"The security is a valuable feature."
"It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product."
"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."
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
 

Cons

"Perhaps one of the things that I think Aruba can improve on is developing their current information channels."
"Before HP bought Aruba, the release dates for codes were very predictable and quick. But since HP's acquisition, normal and quarterly release dates have been delayed, probably because of continued integration between the two companies."
"A lot of the access point commands are in the command line interface, versus being in the GUI."
"The price could be better. In the next release, I would like to have more analytics features."
"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."
"Because it's cloud-based, it takes time for the floor maps and the heat map to load."
"The console is difficult to use. The firewall settings could be improved."
"It's a little bit over-complicated. They could simplify the interface."
"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”."
"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"The setup was complex."
"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."
"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."
"The distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."
"Technical support could be more helpful. They are lacking a bit in that regard."
"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

"The product is expensive."
"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."
"I think they should lower their prices."
"The price is low. There is an additional cost for maintenance."
"The solution's cost is affordable."
"The pricing is fair and similar to other products."
"The price is reasonable. I would rate the cost as 8 out of 10."
"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 price of the solution is too high for our country."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
"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 cost is a one-time fee."
"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
"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."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
