Bridging capabilities ensure network continuity and reliability in large-scale deployments
The most valuable feature of Cisco Wireless is the bridging capability. If one network fails, there is a link between different access points, which ensures network continuity. Additionally, Cisco offers significant discounts for large projects. The reliability and robust solution are also key aspects, as there have been no errors or failures. The implementation is straightforward, and the user interface connection is easy.
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

"Some of the features I find valuable are the FlexConnect and overall it is a good global solution."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the Cisco CleanAir and Cisco RRM."
"The support offered by Cisco is excellent. They are very responsive and knowledgeable."
"The stability is great. It's very reliable."
"We were able to utilize the elements of the core and provide a solution to our customers similar to that of Cisco Meraki."
"It is good, and it works."
"It can provide support for real-time applications, such as VoIP and Video Conferencing over wireless infrastructure."
"The installation process is very 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."
"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."
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."
"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"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 initial setup was easy."
 

Cons

"It's very scalable, but when you shift gears sometimes, you have to do more work than people anticipate."
"In the future, it would be great if the solution had a GPS feature that could have the ability through access points to locate cell phone users inside a local wireless network, for example in a stadium."
"Cisco Wireless could improve if they had some kind of social media integration. There is some limitation with social media integration and wireless interaction. They need to add some additional components to their wireless devices to complete the solution or requirements."
"The price could be better. The configuration is also complex. It would be better if there's an NEC solution. That's one of the things we really want to have. It should also be as fast as possible."
"Cisco won't work with any other vendors. That is a significant problem with Cisco."
"The media stream and Mojo settings are not sufficiently supported."
"Cisco Wireless needs to improve compatibility with Apple devices. Its deployment should also be made easier. It should also reduce the complexity around security."
"The pricing of Brazil is very expensive. When you look at other options, they are much cheaper."
"The distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."
"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 ​RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved.​"
"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 solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."
"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 customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a bit expensive but it's professional and works properly."
"Its licensing is not simple. There are additional license costs for features, which is frustrating for us. There are some features that are included for free in the base Aruba product, but they are available at additional costs in this solution."
"However, when you integrate the access point and the controller with the DNAT across multiple sites, you need a DNAT cluster, which is a costly solution. Every site has a controller, and a DNAT cluster is not a good option in a global framework. It's okay for a small office or a few offices. But when you're talking about 500 offices, the cost becomes enormous."
"The platform is expensive for small-scale businesses."
"Cisco is more on the expensive side, as compared to Aruba, but I must say Cisco's quality is unmatched, for sure."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Cisco Wireless."
"The licensing system is very rigid. I work for a school and we are just treated like big companies. At some point, there's a limit to what we can do about that."
"I rate the tool's pricing a seven out of ten."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
"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."
"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."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
