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

"The capacity, security, downloading, and exporting data are all very good. It's user-friendly, but if I look at Meraki versus normal Cisco equipment, then I think that Meraki will be much more user-friendly."
"The FlexConnect feature is the most valuable."
"This product has a long life and you don't have any issues 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 solution offers very good application visibility and control integration for other analysis software."
"I like many of the features that Cisco Wireless has to offer."
"Security is an important feature for my customers, and I am able to offer this to them with our Cisco products."
"Cisco Wireless solutions are easy to use."
"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."
"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."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."
"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see some AI capability deployed. Other competitors like Mist and Juniper already have it. So, AI features need to be introduced next year."
"I wouldn't mind if Cisco allowed their premiere devices to be able to have that cloud-based support as well, or cloud-based management."
"The solution could be more stable."
"The classic Cisco wireless interface is difficult for users to learn."
"The GUI could be made more user-friendly. There should also be a dashboard where it can showcase how many end-users are connected to a particular access point."
"They are a pretty expensive option."
"If they could offer better coverage, we'd be much happier."
"Cisco is costlier relative to other solutions."
"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 ​RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved.​"
"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
"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."
"The distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that the solution is expensive because the customer has to pay for a full year, at a minimum, in up-front costs."
"The price of the solution is fair."
"The pricing is high. It could be cheaper."
"We are on an annual license. The license and the hardware are expensive."
"It's a bit expensive but it's professional and works properly."
"There are no subscription fees."
"This product's pricing is good. It's not too 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 license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
"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."
"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."
"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."
