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

"​Initial setup was very straightforward. We set up the switches and APs, then took it from there. ​​"
"Enterprise wireless LAN solution with good visibility and amazing scalability. Aruba Wireless also offers good technical support."
"For my organization, the most critical feature of Aruba Wireless is guest management."
"It provided an easy WiFi solution for our branch offices to deploy​. We could usually have them up and running from out-of-the-box in about 10 minutes."
"Setup is straightforward."
"The coverage, concurrent user life, and visualization are the most valuable features of these solutions."
"I like the way it groups and manages access points."
"The solution is very stable."
"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."
"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."
"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs.​"
"We have found Mojo to be critical for us because of its patented security and its wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS). It is unique in the market."
"The technical support for the solution is very helpful."
"The configuration is simple and the reports can be automated."
"For support, we do not have to deal with a whole phone menu tree. You get to talk to an engineer right away."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to add features and enhance security."
"There were some settings which were confusing and unlabeled when trying to use the online help with the newer firmware.​"
"Configuration could be made easier with more bandwidth than they offer at the moment."
"The console is difficult to use. The firewall settings could be improved."
"What needs improvement in Aruba Wireless is its access point, in particular, it should have more flexibility. Aruba Wireless has Campus AP, Instant AP, and Unified AP, but it would be better if the product has a generic access point that you can manage over the cloud, on-premise, etc. Another area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is scalability. In terms of what additional features I'd like to see in the product, I'm unsure if it's already on the roadmap, but if possible, it would be good to have an SD-WAN functionality on the AP in Aruba Wireless."
"The Aruba Central cloud portal needs a lot of work. It is complicated to navigate."
"The coverage, concurrent user life, and visualization are the most valuable features of these solutions."
"Lacks a heat map analysis and a cloud-based wireless controller."
"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."
"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
"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 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."
"The ​RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved.​"
"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."
"The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's cost is affordable."
"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."
"A recent change is that ClearPass licensing is superb. It counts user-based instead of device-based, for BYOD on-boarding."
"When you look at the price it is a higher price than Cisco."
"​AP signal strength and price. I know this is a competitive market, but APs should not cost so much if they do not cover a large area. ​"
"​Trial different solutions and compare pricing to how well they perform, their stability, how easy it is to maintain, etc."
"​We will be buying the ClearPass solution, which will be pricey. However, in the trial version, it has even more tools to manage a busy network.​"
"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."
"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."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
"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."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"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."
"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 price of the solution is too high for our country."
"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
