Offers robust network management with cost considerations for large deployments

Large enterprises typically invest in FortiAnalyzer, though our company and SMB clients don't require this analysis tool. We use Ekahau for floor planning and Wi-Fi coverage analysis rather than Fortinet FortiWLM's built-in features. Ekahau helps us perform site surveys and plan access point placement. Fortinet FortiWLM is a flexible and common solution in Dubai. It's one of the best-selling products, with Etisalat, the largest ISP, installing Fortinet FortiGate for approximately 70-80% of their clients. The solution offers different series to accommodate various needs. The triple radio model costs around $1,000 (3,500 dirham) and supports 40-50 connected devices. The 231F model suits smaller deployments of 20-25 devices. I rate Fortinet FortiWLM a seven out of ten. While it's an excellent solution, Cisco remains the market leader.

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 most useful aspect of Fortinet FortiWLM is that you can manage all the Fortinet products from one portal, from one device."

"At the moment, particularly with the COVID-19 situation, the most valuable feature is probably the IPsec VPN, which is easy to implement with Fortinet."

"The Fortinet FortiWLM system can be controlled through the cloud controller, which is convenient when the solution is not installed in our environment, as it allows us to manage the entire WiFi or access points and provides more adaptability."

"The product is a stable solution."

"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWLM is the single management pane and integrated controller inside the firewall."

"The security is a valuable feature."

"The firewall integration is very important for the security of the connection."

"Overall, I would rate the solution a ten out of ten."

More Fortinet FortiWLM pros

"It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product."

"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."

"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 stability of the solution has been good. We haven't had any issues."

"The technical support for the solution is very helpful."

"The security is a valuable feature."

"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."

"The solution is very stable."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"There are currently issues with Fortinet's software quality."

"In terms of improvements, the price is higher than I would like. A reduction in pricing would be beneficial."

"This solution should be easier to set up in a production environment."

"The initial setup is complex and has room for improvement."

"The interface could certainly do with some improvement. We have other customers with WiFi networks, and they always use Ubiquiti. With Ubiquiti, it's a much better user interface, and it is much easier to configure."

"Areas for improvement would be the compatibility with Apple products and cross-platform integration."

"Documentation could be improved."

"When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer."

More Fortinet FortiWLM cons

"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”."

"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."

"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."

"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."

"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 implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."

"The customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."

"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.""

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Fortinet FortiWLM's pricing is regular and competitive."

"Fortinet would do something with their pricing model to attract smaller business users and eliminate the mandatory service contracts."

"Licensing costs are reasonable. There are so many different types of licenses with Fortinet, but the licensing and the 24/7/365 support are so reasonable that I automatically include it with every transaction. I never line item it without it. There are no additional costs."

"The solution is expensive. I give the solution a one out of ten for the price."

"For indoor access points, there is a one-time cost, upfront, whereas outdoor access points have an annual fee."

"If a customer already is a FortiGate customer, the cost to go to the FortiAP is incredibly affordable, because you already have the controller."

"Licensing has become easier. There is no longer a per-AP license needed on the controller."

"The price of Fortinet FortiWLM is reasonable compared to the other vendors. We are using a five-year license."

More Fortinet FortiWLM pricing and cost advice

"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 cost is a one-time fee."

"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."

"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."

"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."

"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."
