Strong performance supports network team effectively but guest access compatibility needs improvement
We connect the network using Aruba Wireless. We connect our office network, and we use it primarily within our network team Aruba Wireless has many features, especially their state-of-the-art controller, which can be connected to the cloud. They also have an unlimited lifetime warranty, which is…

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 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 best part of the configuration is the virtual controller that we use to manage the environment."
"To be able to combine those product sets, the traditional wire line and the wireless, and then the Clearpass solution from Aruba, is what I'm most interested in; the enterprise security and to have the whole picture."
"The Aruba Wireless solution has excellent roaming capabilities, ensuring seamless connectivity."
"Aruba Central."
"If customers can get a good quality product at a very competitive price, plus a limited lifetime warranty, then this gives very high value to the customer, which is what you can get from Aruba Wireless."
"The initial setup is straightforward. Configure one IAP and all the rest self-configure to that one.​"
"The most valuable feature in this product would be the stability. You build it, install it, and it’s good to go, with no further tweaks needed unless adding or replacing APs."
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
"It does everything we need it to do, and it scales well, it's stable and offers good security."
"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs."
"The technical support for the solution is very helpful."
"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."
"At certain points, there are hardware updates and they send notifications before they do the updates."
"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."
"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."
 

Cons

"We've had some deployment issues, such as the AP's didn't connect to our central office automatically."
"Not cost-effective."
"Sometimes the configuration is difficult."
"Sometimes the configuration is difficult."
"Aruba doesn't match some competitors in wireless signal strength. It isn't in the same class as Cisco Meraki, so I would use Cisco Meraki in situations where I need to cover a large open space."
"We need security features to recognize the traffic source and to apply Zero Trust security."
"The initial setup is more complex than other solutions."
"Aruba Wireless is very expensive."
"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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.""
"The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
"The customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Aruba Wireless is much cheaper than our previous solution by Cisco. It is a significant saving, measured in thousands of dollars per year."
"Licencing can be surprising and needs improvement. Look into all features, what you need versus what you want, and know that nothing comes without some kind of license."
"In terms of pricing, the pricing for Aruba Wireless is not bad for large-sized companies, but for medium-sized companies, it's on the higher end, but because Aruba has a good company image, medium-sized companies still go with Aruba Wireless."
"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 point is pretty high compared to Ubiquiti and other equipment."
"I don't know the exact costs associated with Aruba Wireless, but I have a rough idea, and it's not too cheap, though it's less costly than Cisco Wireless. Pricing for Aruba Wireless is moderate. It's a three out of five."
"The balance between quality and price is there, but the cost is still high."
"The price of Aruba Wireless should be cheaper."
"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."
"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."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
"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 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."
"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 cost is a one-time fee."
"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
