Experience seamless connectivity with top-notch roaming capabilities
The Aruba Wireless solution has excellent roaming capabilities, ensuring seamless connectivity. Once installed, Aruba Wireless works robustly without overheating issues. This is particularly effective compared to other products I've used, like FortiMonitor and FortiAPs, which sometimes heat up. I am very satisfied with the roaming feature, as it ensures connectivity when moving from one location to another. The product's stability, after setting it up, adds to its value.

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 valuable features are the Instant On capabilities, including the controller."
"The most valuable feature of Aruba Wireless is application monitoring."
"The cost is pretty good. It's what draws in the clients."
"​Initial setup was very straightforward. We set up the switches and APs, then took it from there. ​​"
"The biggest selling point was the ability to create two different SSIDs to control public versus private wireless networks."
"Aruba Wireless has been straightforward to set up."
"The Aruba Central portal is a good interface that helps us monitor the wireless devices extensively. Furthermore, the access points we use, mainly API nine zero five, are working well."
"What I like best about Aruba Wireless is that it doesn't need a controller. The product also has a GUI that's easy to navigate."
"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."
"We just plugged it in and it worked. That just doesn't happen. We plugged it in and it worked and all 100 kids got on the test and started testing."
"The technical support for the solution is very helpful."
"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."
"It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product."
"The stability of the solution has been good. We haven't had any issues."
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
"The security is a valuable feature."
 

Cons

"What needs improvement in Aruba Wireless is its access point, in particular, it should have more flexibility. Aruba Wireless has Campus AP, Instant AP, and Unified AP, but it would be better if the product has a generic access point that you can manage over the cloud, on-premise, etc. Another area for improvement in Aruba Wireless is scalability. In terms of what additional features I'd like to see in the product, I'm unsure if it's already on the roadmap, but if possible, it would be good to have an SD-WAN functionality on the AP in Aruba Wireless."
"I need more access. I only install the hardware and the software part for the client. However, there are no admin privileges, which is an issue. You need to contact them and make a special request."
"MAC authentication against an external Radius server while using 802.1X. This feature will help the L2 devices to authenticate via external Radius servers."
"The solution could be improved on the security side."
"The product’s performance got worse with newer releases."
"We would like to declare a specific number of devices that an employee or a user can use to access their Wi-Fi."
"There needs to be better visibility on the day-to-day monitoring."
"The certification for licensing could be better."
"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."
"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 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."
"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 implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A recent change is that ClearPass licensing is superb. It counts user-based instead of device-based, for BYOD on-boarding."
"Aruba Wireless is very attractive cost-wise."
"I don't know the exact costs associated with Aruba Wireless, but I have a rough idea, and it's not too cheap, though it's less costly than Cisco Wireless. Pricing for Aruba Wireless is moderate. It's a three out of five."
"There is so much licensing, you literally pay for every solution, add-on, or cool feature. Compared to others, we were in the middle with pricing, but as you start to invest more into features it will get very pricey."
"The price of Aruba Wireless could improve. It is expensive. However, I am able to reduce my costs because I do not use all the features in the controller, such as the AD integration and other enterprise features."
"The price could be better. Competitors offer more features for a similar cost."
"The product is expensive."
"The price point is pretty high compared to Ubiquiti and other equipment."
"The cost is a one-time fee."
"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"The price of the solution is too high for our country."
