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

"A solution to problems for end users with friendly and easy to use work environments."
"It has an aesthetically pleasing GUI for configuration."
"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."
"The fact that Aruba has a virtual controller onboard the internet access points makes it cheaper than to buy Aruba Central licenses or Meraki Cloud licenses."
"It provides excellent performance and security through the use of available features and policies, reducing the reliance on external firewall configurations while ensuring a secure and reliable network environment."
"The initial setup of Aruba Wireless is a lot easier to do than on other solutions."
"Enterprise wireless LAN solution with good visibility and amazing scalability. Aruba Wireless also offers good technical support."
"The performance and the application monitor. You can select the applications you want to use and block on your network"
"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."
"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 initial setup was easy."
"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."
"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."
"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs.​"
"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."
"The stability of the solution has been good. We haven't had any issues."
 

Cons

"I believe it would benefit from more reporting, other than just a dashboard. It needs some type of report builder so you can have PDFs to show upper management what is going on in the wireless network."
"Additional detailed reporting for client traffic would be a great addition."
"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."
"The solution needs to add features and enhance security."
"The GUI dashboards should be more user-friendly."
"The new 8400 failed at Lab, plus its integration with Aruba Central."
"The management system would be better if it were more polished, if it had a better interface like, for example, Meraki"
"Aruba is missing some features that are available in other solutions, such as the email notifications."
"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"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 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."
"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."
"The setup was complex."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"When you look at the price it is a higher price than Cisco."
"The access points are more cost-effective over some other providers, both in cost per AP and the option of a controller-less environment."
"Aruba is comparable to competing solutions when it comes to price."
"If you compare it to other solutions then it's reasonably priced."
"My main concern about this product is the price. The cost is causing me to look at other vendors and competing products."
"The price point is pretty high compared to Ubiquiti and other equipment."
"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.​"
"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."
"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."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
"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."
"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 cost is a one-time fee."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
