Integrates with ISE, and is secure, reliable, and easy to deploy
The main concern is the length and overlapping. We have to put on four to six access points on the same floor, and we face the issue of overlapping areas. If Cisco can extend the range of their indoor APs, we would need to install just one or two access points, and it would eliminate the problem of the overlapping area. They should provide built-in features for safe authentication. Right now, we integrate with ISE and FortiClient for this feature. We first check the NAC, and after the NAC and before the domain, a token password installed on their mobile or a physical token is required to join the network. If Cisco had built-in authentication, we would be able to eliminate one product from our network.

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

"Cisco's support team is the best in the industry."
"Some of the valuable features of this solution are security, the controller is simple to configure, devices are easy to install, and we use the software to administrate all the APs."
"Stability is fine."
"This increased mobility has helped our organization. We can talk to one another from different locations and stay in constant contact and with employees across the enterprise. Everyone has access to up-to-the-minute communications and all documents and applications on our network."
"Its stability is most valuable."
"The switches can even detect cable issues which quite often can be the main cause for a call-out within my business."
"Cisco Wireless is highly stable."
"Wireless access has enabled users to be mobile and as a result, more productive."
"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."
"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."
"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."
"The solution is very stable."
"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."
"The initial setup was easy."
"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."
 

Cons

"The main disadvantage of Cisco Wireless is its cost - it's expensive. Its interface is not easy. However, I like it since I am an engineer."
"The solution should introduce natural language troubleshooting processes. It will identify possible problems or errors due to the symptoms."
"There's a delay in equipment that comes to Columbia, to our country, and that lasts almost six months."
"The solution could improve by having an advanced model with a controller. Additionally, the solution could be more secure."
"It requires a few tweaks in order to stabilize it. Its portal is complex. Cisco solutions are complex in general."
"The security must be improved."
"Apple is definitely causing a lot of issues by turning on more security features on its equipment. It is causing more problems on the business side. One is what they call a randomized Mac address that Apple has put out. As far as I know, Cisco doesn't have a fix for that."
"The configuration interface could be easier. They should make roaming easier and should fix it so that when you cross a building you can keep the signal."
"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"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."
"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 ​RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved.​"
"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”."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license structure is confusing."
"The price of Cisco Wireless is expensive and there is an additional cost for support."
"Because the Cisco architecture is quite complex, you may end up having to add more components and licenses. So, the cost could go up."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Cisco Wireless."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"I am not a fan of Cisco's software pricing model. Their management software is far too expensive."
"We are on an annual license. The license and the hardware are expensive."
"It's expensive because a lot of the controls come with licenses."
"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 cost is a one-time fee."
"The price of the solution is too high for our country."
"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
"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."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
"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."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
