Thu Al-Faqar Salah - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Engineer at V2X
Wireless network has delivered secure high-speed coverage and has reduced support tickets
The best features Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points offer include the 6 GHz supporting band and incredible stability in 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz, along with features like radio active, band selecting, access point rogue discovery, and support for more than 10 SSIDs broadcasting at the same time. It supports the most secure security features, such as WPA3 and 802.1x, and many features that help secure a network, besides supporting an embedded wireless LAN controller. Out of all those features, I find myself relying on most day-to-day, and all of them are very reliable. I leverage the 6 GHz band in the locations where I install and deploy access points, which was amazing and provided all the features needed. Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points have positively impacted my organization by helping us get a stable connection, stable Wi-Fi, stable broadcasting, and a secured network, along with very nice coverage and high-speed bandwidth because it supports Wi-Fi 6. It has helped us eliminate the need for changing access points between different models. Previously, we had issues where access points would fail unexpectedly, but with this model, it has been two years with no stability issues or connectivity problems. Since we started using Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points, the uptime has been approximately 105 to 106 months, and we have not experienced any downtime since installation. The internet bandwidth has increased from 50 to 60 megabits per second to approximately 200 megabits per second since we started using Wi-Fi 6 features. The scalability and ability to broadcast more than 10 SSIDs helps us leverage our VLANs across all locations. Regarding Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points' AI capabilities, I think its governance and security are excellent because they support the most-used security features, including WPA3, pre-shared key, KES, and SHA-256. Many security features are utilized in this model, including MAC filtering and RADIUS for authentication with specific features available for customers to connect. The security implementation is outstanding. I would rate the accuracy of Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points' AI capabilities as 10 out of 10 because it is incredibly accurate. The traffic management is excellent, the coverage is amazing, and everything performs perfectly.

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

"Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points have affected network reliability and the end-user experience positively."
"Cisco is technically superior to competitors."
"Wi-Fi 6 technology has improved wireless connectivity to such an extent that LAN cable connectivity is no longer necessary, allowing users to work remotely with Wi-Fi connectivity while achieving both speed and scalability."
"My experience with pricing, setup, and licensing is that pricing is more expensive, but it is worth it."
"Cisco does a good job at keeping all gear in lockstep with advancements so I do not encounter problems."
"Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points is valuable because of Cisco's Wi-Fi integration with Cisco Spaces, previously called DNA Spaces."
"From a functionality perspective, Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points are among the best, with a responsible vendor that promptly assists us in case of any issues through technical support."
"This solution has improved my ability to manage our network, check the overall health of our network, and secure it."
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
"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."
"If you go with Mojo, you're not going to be sorry."
"It's scalable. You don't have to configure an access point. Literally, if I needed a new one, I just take it right out of the box, go plug it into our network. It finds our Mojo network, and then it talks to the other access points that are close to it, and then it literally adopts the policies, and meshes itself in our network."
"It does everything we need it to do, and it scales well, it's stable and offers good security."
"The configuration is simple and the reports can be automated."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The pricing of Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points is a significant concern; Cisco is always premium priced, and sometimes customers cannot afford that."
"Cisco is always expensive. In terms of pricing, it is very tough because I have lost many RFPs because of the pricing where Ruckus is much less expensive."
"In Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points solution, there is room for improvement, especially when I compare it in my thoughts with Meraki and Cisco, as well as the Aruba wireless solution."
"The navigation tools of the GUI could be more user-intuitive in certain areas."
"If I compare Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points with other vendors such as Aruba, one area for improvement is pricing."
"The initial configuration of Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points is somewhat complex, especially if someone is not familiar with the Cisco ecosystem."
"The deployment process itself is complex because we need to ensure that software requirements are running."
"What I dislike about Cisco Wireless 9100 Access Points is that controlling multiple APs is not centralized."
"The price should be lowered. It is too high for our country."
"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 solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."
"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."
"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 needs improvement to make navigation even more simplistic."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"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."
