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

"I found that It's really good when comparing it to any other product or it is much better in terms of features that the customer requires."

"The setup was easy."

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

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the management."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to connect and broadcast to different networks without using a VLAN or a layer two switch, which allows you to easily create guest networks."

"We're using SD-WAN at all of our locations now, which helps increase and aggregate and lower response time and improve application performance."

"The most valuable features of this solution are its speed, reliability, and integration with the firewall."

"The greatest advantage is the security fabric Fortinet offers."

More Fortinet FortiWLM pros

"If you go with Mojo, you're not going to be sorry."

"Their Cognitive WiFi analytics (Mojo Aware) is the biggest feature on their dashboard. It helps us know where the problem, so we don't have to spend time with the customer diagnosing it."

"In summary, there is very little that can be improved with this product."

"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."

"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."

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

"At certain points, there are hardware updates and they send notifications before they do the updates."

"Initial setup was straightforward."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"There are currently issues with Fortinet's software quality. We have concerns regarding the frequent updates needed because of short software cycles."

"The platform's pricing needs improvement."

"The pricing model can be improved to encourage use by small business and individuals and the hardware could stand to be redesigned."

"Documentation could be improved."

"The guest management features need to be improved by adding automation."

"The range needs some improvement and also the stability."

"Documentation could be improved."

"Improving support and firmware upgrades is necessary."

More Fortinet FortiWLM cons

"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."

"Both 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."

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

"The user interface needs improvement to make navigation even more simplistic."

"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.""

"The RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved."

"Technical support could be more helpful. They are lacking a bit in that regard."

"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”."

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"There is a perpetual license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."

"The product is highly expensive. I rate the pricing a ten."

"In the last few years, due in part to the impact of COVID on the market, Fortinet has increased its prices by 35 percent."

"Support contracts typically cost approximately $100.00 per year."

"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

"The price of the solution is too high for our country."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 cost is a one-time fee."

"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."

"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."
