Shahnawaz Nusrat - PeerSpot reviewer
Has simplified wireless integration while needing better throughput and captive portal features
The product can be improved depending on the model selected as per requirements. Support is good and throughput is good. What we need to do is select a better product as per our requirement and environment. If proper working is done in terms of wireless heat map or radio connectivity in our environment, I believe it's good. There is always a chance to improve. Throughput can be better in terms of other vendors, but currently, it's working fine. One feature that I still need to explore is the captive portal. When we deploy a unit in a public environment, users need to sign in with a pop-up box to connect.
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

"The stability of the solution is very high."
"I always recommend to customers who have a FortiGate firewall to choose Fortinet FortiAP instead of deploying any other wireless controller or OEM because it provides a single posture of security and a single management console, is easy to use, easy to deploy, and offers central management with FortiGate."
"Fortinet FortiAPs are useful for small to medium-scale companies where there are budget concerns."
"The pricing is reasonable for what it offers."
"The setup was straightforward."
"Fortinet FortiAP provides value for money, and I can quantify the savings at about 80%."
"FortiAP's integration using SSID configuration for the input/output makes deploying permission rules easier."
"I would give FortiAP a rating of ten out of ten so far."
"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."
"It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product."
"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."
"The fact that they are autonomous and can function even without access to the management panel is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."
"The solution is very stable."
"For support, we do not have to deal with a whole phone menu tree. You get to talk to an engineer right away."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
 

Cons

"The improvement factor could be in APs. Also, it could have a control, like MAC address."
"The support offered by the solution has certain shortcomings, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"Throughput can be better in terms of other vendors, but currently, it's working fine."
"I would like to have automation capabilities that would help us reduce the configuration steps."
"The product fails to offer default access points to deal with the areas revolving around configurations."
"Technical support is a pain. Fortinet has to get its act together. If you don't pay for premium service, you will have issues."
"There is nothing that particularly comes to mind for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in the product by expanding the number of SSIDs that can be broadcast."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
"The setup was complex."
"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 customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."
"The ​RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved.​"
"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."
"They could use more additional application security and network security features. They could add on to the WiFi as a selling point. It would be nice to be able to say to the WiFi users, "We will protect you against viruses and malware, so you don't have to purchase that.""
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is available at a very comfortable price for my company compared to the other products available in the market. The prices of products from Meraki and Aruba are high compared to those of Fortinet."
"We purchased perpetual licensing, and additional costs may vary depending on the services acquired from Fortinet."
"Fortinet FortiAP offers a more cost-effective solution compared to Palo Alto and Check Point."
"The devices under Fortinet are not expensive. The solution's licensing part is expensive."
"FortiAP is more expensive than some other options."
"If I compare it with the other enterprise products, the price is good."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I would rate FortiAP a six."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
