Has enabled centralized user management and improved wireless access point aggregation
To improve Cisco Wireless, the ports on the access points are all 100 Meg, not 1 gig. We have not gotten a gigabyte interface of about 1,000, but the controller we have is just 1 gig. We would prefer if we could increase the controller to a 10 gig interface because we want to connect our controller to a 10 gig interface, which currently limits us to 1 gig. When we want to move higher capacity data via wireless, it limits us to 1 gig.

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 is scalable, and we have more than 10,000 people on-premises who are connected to the cloud using it."
"Cisco Wireless is obviously very stable, and there's no doubt about that."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Cisco CleanAir and Cisco RRM."
"The most valuable feature for us is management of the systems. We can easily access all features."
"I find the tool to be 99 percent stable."
"Our organization has improved using this product because it helps enhance user experience. We use video communication a lot, like Skype. We used to get a lot of interference before and had a lot of issues during wireless voice or video calls. We get greater speed and performance with wireless now. It is nearly the same as a wired network."
"It always runs, and it's very reliable in terms of performance."
"Overall, Cisco was stable and worked well for all our needs until we started having more and more students and teachers using YouTube and Zoom — what with classes being isolated and everything — which put a lot of strain on our Wi-Fi network."
"The Mojo has proved to handle these high-density requirements and perform better than many competitive devices."
"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."
"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 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 security is a valuable feature."
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
"Arista Mojo Wifi has improve stability, visibility anf performance across our enterprise."
"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 main concern is the length and overlapping. We have to put on four to six access points on the same floor, and we face the issue of overlapping areas. If Cisco can extend the range of their indoor APs, we would need to install just one or two access points, and it would eliminate the problem of the overlapping area."
"I would like to see less dependency on other products such as ISE and Prime for certain implementations."
"When you integrate a network access control with authentication with an ISE engine it's really complicated to put in place."
"The price could be improved."
"They are good, but my observation is that their signal strength and range is not that good."
"Older versions are complex to configure and implement."
"The product is quite expensive, and it's making us reconsider staying with Cisco."
"It's end-of-life, it will be end-of-support in the next two years. The APs are also end-of-life."
"The user interface needs improvement to make navigation even more simplistic."
"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."
"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."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability."
"The RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved."
"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 solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."
"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”."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive. The pricing is an obstacle."
"There are annual subscriptions to use this solution. I have not been able to understand the licensing of Cisco. Some of the Cisco executives were not able to understand them either. When you first start out the price is zero but when it comes to a time of renewal you have to pay."
"I rate the tool's pricing a nine out of ten."
"The price of Cisco Wireless equipment is expensive."
"The price of Cisco Wireless is expensive and there is an additional cost for support."
"This product's pricing is good. It's not too expensive."
"This solution is expensive, but you get value for your money."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
"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."
"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."
