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

"Aruba Wireless includes automated RF optimization capabilities."
"The functionality is very high and we can properly meet the clients' requirements."
"Aruba have put a lot of emphasis on manageability and security, and I think their Airwave and Clearpath products are head and shoulders the best in the industry."
"From a person who tried managing multiple wireless device platforms, there were little to no incidents that we receive for Aruba devices for a specific period of time."
"Aruba is outstanding, especially when it comes to the hospitality sectors.​"
"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."
"Aruba Wireless has many features, especially their state-of-the-art controller, which can be connected to the cloud."
"​It has improved overall IT efficiency across the board."
"Their Cognitive WiFi analytics (Mojo Aware) is the biggest feature on their dashboard. It helps us know where the problem, so we don't have to spend time with the customer diagnosing it."
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
"Arista Mojo Wifi has improve stability, visibility anf performance across our enterprise."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"It does everything we need it to do, and it scales well, it's stable and offers good security."
"The pricing was a good value and substantially less than some of the other products that we looked at, and in some cases, with some of the bigger names, this product was even close to half the price."
"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."
"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."
 

Cons

"I had some problems with Wi-Fi coverage in the workshop, which required purchasing more devices."
"I'm very interested, and I've heard really good things about, the SDN solution; the enterprise controller."
"The next step is to create better unified story with HP switching."
"The access points could be cheaper. While the technical specifications are satisfactory, the access points are expensive."
"Access point mounting options could be better."
"The bad things about the product are the price, the information about the product, and the time it takes to deliver the product."
"We have 64 AP's around the site and with more and more students bringing in their wireless devices, we are only now starting to see some cracks."
"What I'd like improved in Aruba Wireless is for it to be a full cloud solution."
"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 customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."
"Technical support could be more helpful. They are lacking a bit in that regard."
"The user interface needs improvement to make navigation even more simplistic."
"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."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."
"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”."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is a one time purchase (only the cloud license has to be renewed, which is worth trying out).​"
"​Trial different solutions and compare pricing to how well they perform, their stability, how easy it is to maintain, etc."
"The price of Aruba Wireless could improve. It is expensive. However, I am able to reduce my costs because I do not use all the features in the controller, such as the AD integration and other enterprise features."
"A recent change is that ClearPass licensing is superb. It counts user-based instead of device-based, for BYOD on-boarding."
"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 price is reasonable. I would rate the cost as 8 out of 10."
"The product is expensive."
"The price of Aruba Wireless should be cheaper."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"The cost is a one-time fee."
"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."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
"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."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
