Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN and Mojo Networks are two leading competitors in the wireless LAN market. Cisco Meraki appears to have an advantage in ease of deployment and broad cloud-managed capabilities, while Mojo Networks offers strong security and competitive pricing.

Features: Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN provides robust centralized management via a cloud-based dashboard, which allows seamless configuration from anywhere. Its user-friendly interface and security features simplify the management of multi-site deployments. Cisco Meraki excels in providing comprehensive cloud management and reporting tools. Mojo Networks is renowned for its strong security features, including WIPS, and offers reliable performance with advanced analytics and seamless connectivity. Mojo provides competitive cloud-managed capabilities and emphasizes security and analytics at a better price point.

Room for Improvement: Cisco Meraki is often criticized for its high licensing costs and the subscription model, which affects functionality after expiration.

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's a stable product."

"The ability to manage it remotely is the most valuable. If it has an internet connection, you can get to it. It is a great product for remote clinics. We kind of thought about doing this kind of standalone technology. Meraki is easy to manage. From a management perspective, it is the easiest to use, especially in the cloud. I like Meraki. I even have it in my home."

"The initial setup of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN was very easy."

"I think the IoT integration is the most valuable. I started applying IoT solutions 12 years ago on location-based services. Aruba had implemented this at the time. So I think the integration, particularly into the applications and stuff, is pretty interesting in Meraki."

"The flexibility, since it's a cloud service, is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"The solution ensures seamless connectivity as users move within the office. Six installed Meraki APs provide excellent coverage for around three hundred users, offering reliable speeds. Additionally, the system allows guests and users with priority devices to connect using their SAP ID. The traffic is managed through D and G controllers to meet the specified requirements for continuous connection and speed."

"The most valuable features are the management tools, including monitoring and reporting."

"The interface makes it easy to manage."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pros

"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."

"It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product."

"Initial setup was straightforward."

"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."

"Their Cognitive WiFi analytics (Mojo Aware) is the biggest feature on their dashboard. It helps us know where the problem, so we don't have to spend time with the customer diagnosing it."

"The technical support for the solution is very helpful."

"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."

"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"Currently, only a limited number of clients can connect to these devices."

"There should be better Spanish-language technical support."

"We have used technical support for some issues but not many times."

"In a future release, they should offer a next-generation UTM, where you can manage all items and the network, and have it include a lot of security features like fingerprinting functionality."

"They're great. If there's anything that they need to change, it is just simplifying the site to which you go to make changes on the admin side."

"The initial setup was simple. However, the full deployment could be easier."

"The most important improvement needed is to eliminate the limitation of uplinks."

"The price could be slightly better, but then again, we negotiate deals every time so the market price isn't really relevant."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN cons

"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."

"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."

"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 distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."

"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."

"The RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved."

"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."

"The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We do a three-year or five-year license and support. Its price could be better, but overall, we get competitive prices. A lot of times, Cisco puts itself out of range, especially with Meraki. I've dealt with a lot of business development from Cisco, and they have always been accommodating, especially in dealing with hospitals or government. There is also a right time to buy it. July is when they are eager to sell a lot of things because that is the end of their calendar year."

"The cost is not so much for Wireless LAN, but when you have to get the security license, it costs a lot."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"Cisco products are generally recognized for their performance and quality, which may justify the higher price point compared to other options on the market."

"We don't like the licensing model and we think that it needs to be improved significantly."

"Cisco Meraki requires either a one year or three year license for a standard enterprise license."

"I don't deal with pricing directly, however, it's my understanding that it is around $40 per unit."

"I haven't conducted a price comparison yet, but based on information, it appears to be more affordable than the current environment. Therefore, I consider the price to be reasonable."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."

"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 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."

"The cost is a one-time fee."

"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."

"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."

"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."

"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."
