Experience seamless connectivity with top-notch roaming capabilities
The Aruba Wireless solution has excellent roaming capabilities, ensuring seamless connectivity. Once installed, Aruba Wireless works robustly without overheating issues. This is particularly effective compared to other products I've used, like FortiMonitor and FortiAPs, which sometimes heat up. I am very satisfied with the roaming feature, as it ensures connectivity when moving from one location to another. The product's stability, after setting it up, adds to its value.

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

"It delivers constantly, there is no break in the internet using these devices. It also automatically gets connected when the internet comes back. Failure is very low."
"The most important feature is all about the two wavelengths, the 2.4GHz and the 5GHz, and the access points which are connected to this wireless controller."
"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."
"The 335-AP provides reliability, stability."
"It's been running for the past three years with no default configuration."
"The biggest selling point was the ability to create two different SSIDs to control public versus private wireless networks."
"The access points support a high number of connected clients."
"​Initial setup was very straightforward. We set up the switches and APs, then took it from there. ​​"
"The solution is very stable."
"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."
"The security is a valuable feature."
"It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product."
"The fact that they are autonomous and can function even without access to the management panel is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"For support, we do not have to deal with a whole phone menu tree. You get to talk to an engineer right away."
"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."
"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."
 

Cons

"The certification for licensing could be better."
"There needs to be better visibility on the day-to-day monitoring."
"We're using the Aruba Sensor, but sometimes the sensor isn't talking to AirWave or the AP. If something happens, we need to receive an email directly from the sensor, but the controller doesn't know. If there's something like the high channel utilization from the sensor we send to the controller, the controller can change the channel because they're all in the same environment."
"They could work on energy consumption as this equipment needs a lot of energy."
"The Return Material Authorization procedure is time-consuming and needs improvement."
"I believe that Aruba's support could be improved."
"The product should be more affordable, especially the cloud and console for the Aruba product as it is currently very expensive."
"The stability and management could be improved."
"The setup was complex."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."
"The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."
"The customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."
"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."
"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.""
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's cost is affordable."
"When you look at the price it is a higher price than Cisco."
"Aruba Wireless is much cheaper than our previous solution by Cisco. It is a significant saving, measured in thousands of dollars per year."
"I would rate the cost as an eight out of ten, with ten being the most expensive."
"There is so much licensing, you literally pay for every solution, add-on, or cool feature. Compared to others, we were in the middle with pricing, but as you start to invest more into features it will get very pricey."
"The price is reasonable. I would rate the cost as 8 out of 10."
"The pricing is fair and similar to other products."
"The system was very good, but we needed to upgrade in order to adapt for our needs, and doing so with Aruba would have been more expensive. ​"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 cost is a one-time fee."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
