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

"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."
"Move valuable to us are the central management feature and the solution's performance."
"​Our wireless overhaul has reduced the number of wireless related help desk tickets by nearly 90%.​"
"I really like the user interface."
"The network strength is good."
"We were able to increase capacity very easily."
"In our hospital lobby, we have on average 700 clients trying to connect at the same time, and using the software, we've been able to make sure that everyone's able to connect."
"We have three wireless networks: One for employee use, one for guest use, and one for our warehouse use, which uses MAC authentication. These wireless networks just simply work, they do not fail. The IAP-205 devices are very strong with great range. Very durable equipment; it always works."
"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
"In summary, there is very little that can be improved with this product."
"The most important feature is ease of use. We can simply take an access point and plug it in, then it is automatically configured for us."
"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."
"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs.​"
"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."
 

Cons

"An area of this product that could use improvement would be the troubleshooting. At times I had to engage Aruba Support which ran some pretty complicated troubleshooting commands. I would not have been able to do with existing CLI documentation."
"The bad things about the product are the price, the information about the product, and the time it takes to deliver the product."
"Lots of flexibility but with flexibility comes complexity."
"Our clients complained about the coverage. Their access points should be able to cover 50 meters, but Aruba was only covering 25 to 30 meters, max."
"When I compare Aruba with Juniper Mist, Juniper is the more an AI-driven management solution. It is more of a modern solution, I think. Aruba needs to be more competitive with Juniper."
"On a scale of one to five, I would give their technical support a two. It could be better."
"Zero-touch provisioning is needed."
"They need to increase the number of routers on the controller."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
"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."
"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The ​RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved.​"
"The user interface needs improvement to make navigation even more simplistic."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."
"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."
 

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."
"Aruba is less expensive than Cisco."
"I think they should lower their prices."
"​Trial different solutions and compare pricing to how well they perform, their stability, how easy it is to maintain, etc."
"Aruba Wireless is much cheaper than our previous solution by Cisco. It is a significant saving, measured in thousands of dollars per year."
"Licensing is a one time purchase (only the cloud license has to be renewed, which is worth trying out).​"
"​Price is fairly expensive, however it is worth it. If the “master” fails, another AP can take over the role.​"
"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."
"The price of the solution is too high for our country."
"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."
"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."
"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
