Bridging capabilities ensure network continuity and reliability in large-scale deployments
The most valuable feature of Cisco Wireless is the bridging capability. If one network fails, there is a link between different access points, which ensures network continuity. Additionally, Cisco offers significant discounts for large projects. The reliability and robust solution are also key aspects, as there have been no errors or failures. The implementation is straightforward, and the user interface connection is easy.
Robert Wambani - PeerSpot reviewer
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 very easy to configure the access points."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Wireless are the level of control and management. I am happy with it."
"The switches can even detect cable issues which quite often can be the main cause for a call-out within my business."
"The ability to make different types of networks, such as land networks, is the most valuable part of the solution."
"Its stability is most valuable."
"Stability is fine."
"The initial setup is easy. It's fairly quick to deploy."
"The tool's most valuable features are security, flexibility, user activity, and high bandwidth."
"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."
"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 features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."
"Built-in guest analytics and advanced guest portal features allow our customers to create a guest experience which is typically only available with complex and expensive third-party software."
"The security is a valuable feature."
"It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product."
"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

"It is not easy to use. It should be made easier to use. They can maybe migrate it to the cloud so that we can manage the WLCs together. I find the licensing part very hard to understand. Cisco is now moving towards smart licensing, so this issue will be addressed soon."
"Its licensing has been very frustrating. There is also the complexity of managing the product. These are probably the two reasons why we're looking at Aruba. The way they license this product is not simple. There are some good features in the latest version, but there are additional license costs as well, which is frustrating for us. It is not really a feature issue for us. It really comes down to cost and licensing. They should make it a bit simpler to manage. We find the overall solution a little bit more complex than we would like to deal with. Its troubleshooting is a bit difficult, and it does require a high skill set. Comparatively, Aruba seems quite simple. One of the benefits of the Aruba product is that it is cloud-managed. We don't have to manage the management platform itself, whereas Cisco is on-premise. Its user interface could also be better."
"An expensive solution that small companies cannot afford."
"The coverage provided by the solution is an area of concern in some cases, making it an area where improvements are required."
"In Latin America, Cisco is very expensive in comparison to other technologies."
"The technical support could be better. They aren't as helpful as they need to be when we run into issues."
"Sometimes it requires three to five years, and it depends on the subscription. I sometimes face issues with clients regarding this."
"Cisco won't work with any other vendors. That is a significant problem with Cisco."
"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."
"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 renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."
"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 ​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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Cisco Wireless solutions should have a price reduction for educations centers. Education centers are there to help people grow and there are not large budgets. The solution tends to be expensive and it can cause difficulties when purchasing them here in Africa."
"It's a bit expensive but it's professional and works properly."
"Cisco WiFi 1572 is very expensive locally and our budget for this year is used."
"It's expensive. The pricing is an obstacle."
"It is an expensive product. I would rate the pricing a nine out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"The price of Cisco Wireless equipment is expensive."
"The licensing system is very rigid. I work for a school and we are just treated like big companies. At some point, there's a limit to what we can do about that."
"The price for this product is a little bit high, which is why I am not using the most recent version."
"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."
"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
"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."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
"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."
