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

"What I like best about Aruba Wireless is that it doesn't need a controller. The product also has a GUI that's easy to navigate."
"It has an aesthetically pleasing GUI for configuration."
"The most valuable feature is the client match."
"For my organization, the most critical feature of Aruba Wireless is guest management."
"The scalability is the key here."
"The wireless controller and access points are valuable features."
"​Our wireless overhaul has reduced the number of wireless related help desk tickets by nearly 90%.​"
"Their technological improvements and innovations are always great."
"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"It does everything we need it to do, and it scales well, it's stable and offers good security."
"Altogether, they are unbeatable in the market."
"At certain points, there are hardware updates and they send notifications before they do the updates."
"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."
"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."
"If you go with Mojo, you're not going to be sorry."
 

Cons

"They could work on energy consumption as this equipment needs a lot of energy."
"I would like to be able to customize Captive Portals."
"The pricing could always be better."
"Making the setup more simple is an area for improvement in Aruba Wireless. Security-wise, this solution also needs work."
"Aruba is missing some features that are available in other solutions, such as the email notifications. It's a bit complex to configure the notification part. Mainly I'm talking about the rogue WiFi detection. This email notification is crucial for us, but it isn't possible to configure with the built-in software. You need something else, like an external system log collector or another Aruba software. These notifications are essential in hospitality for PCI compliance. My colleagues in famous luxury hotel chains need that report."
"I think the ROI is great if it is going to replace the wired environment, but if it is not going to descale the wired environment then it needs a bit of a hard sell to meet the ROI."
"The vendor should include multiple additional protocols"
"They should have more support for implementing Aruba Wireless in Smart Cities and outdoor applications."
"Technical support could be more helpful. They are lacking a bit in that regard."
"The distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."
"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."
"The price should be lowered. It is too high for our country."
"The setup was complex."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I think it would be better if they lowered the price."
"Aruba Wireless is very attractive cost-wise."
"​Trial different solutions and compare pricing to how well they perform, their stability, how easy it is to maintain, etc."
"Aruba Wireless is the best for the price. Aruba Wireless is the least expensive, the second is Huawei, and the most expensive is Cisco."
"The price of Aruba Wireless is higher than other products, but you'll get stability, performance, and functionality out of it. On a scale of one to five, I'm rating the price of Aruba Wireless a three."
"Licensing is a one time purchase (only the cloud license has to be renewed, which is worth trying out).​"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"The cost is a one-time fee."
