Unified branch management has simplified deployment and improved wireless security and visibility
Fortinet FortiAP's zero-touch deployment feature with FortiManager is utilized in the current deployment. Zero-touch provisioning with FortiManager enables deployment and configuration that is very useful, leading to huge cost savings. As long as everything is deployed and plugged in, you can push an image to the firewall, and it pushes it out to the switches and all the APs. The deployment time is a lot quicker as a result. Currently, there is not a lack of function in Fortinet FortiAP. The organization is satisfied with it. Everything is managed via FortiManager in a multi-tenanted, cloud deployment model, as the organization is an MSP, so it works well. Pricing for Fortinet FortiAP is rated as an eight, as it is a lot cheaper than Meraki. I would recommend Fortinet FortiAP to other users. I would give this review an overall rating of nine out of ten.

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

"If we have FortiClient installed on multiple devices, it is seamless to connect with FortiAP. It supports passwordless authentication as well. That is a great thing about it."
"I like FortiAP's performance and stability. The reporting is also quite good."
"FortiAP's integration using SSID configuration for the input/output makes deploying permission rules easier."
"The stability of the solution is very high."
"The most valuable aspect of Fortinet FortiAP is the support."
"The setup was straightforward."
"The product's deployment phase is very easy since its documentation part is available in the public domain."
"The solution supports recent security components like encryption or hashing algorithms. We can control the APs from FortiGate Firewalls and integrate those APs into FortiGate. You don't have to purchase a separate controller for it."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."
"At certain points, there are hardware updates and they send notifications before they do the updates."
"Arista Wifi (Mojo) is highly scalable with a single pane of glass for management, and its troubleshooting capabilities and deep insights are praiseworthy, which together reduce management efforts and help you achieve a great ROI."
"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."
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
"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 Mojo has proved to handle these high-density requirements and perform better than many competitive devices."
"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."
 

Cons

"The improvement factor could be in APs. Also, it could have a control, like MAC address."
"There could be constraints where a product can't be scaled further without purchasing a new model."
"I would like to have automation capabilities that would help us reduce the configuration steps."
"There is room for improvement in the product by expanding the number of SSIDs that can be broadcast."
"FortiAP is very good in an indoor environment, but we are struggling with the outdoor environment."
"The support offered by the solution has certain shortcomings, making it in areas where improvements are required."
"I am not satisfied with Fortinet FortiAP's technical support in India. Whenever we call them, they only provide KB articles first."
"A point for improvement for Fortinet FortiAP would be improvements in the GUI, which is adequate but could be improved."
"The customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."
"The user interface needs improvement to make navigation even more simplistic."
"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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 price should be lowered. It is too high for our country."
"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."
"Compared to other OEMs, Mojo Networks or Arista faces a little bit of coverage issues. So, if we put the same dBm, the power of the other OEMs indicates much more extensive coverage compared to Mojo or Arista."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is available at a very comfortable price for my company compared to the other products available in the market. The prices of products from Meraki and Aruba are high compared to those of Fortinet."
"We purchased perpetual licensing, and additional costs may vary depending on the services acquired from Fortinet."
"FortiAP is more expensive than some other options."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I would rate FortiAP a six."
"If I compare it with the other enterprise products, the price is good."
"The devices under Fortinet are not expensive. The solution's licensing part is expensive."
"Fortinet FortiAP offers a more cost-effective solution compared to Palo Alto and Check Point."
"The cost is a one-time fee."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"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."
"The price of the solution is too high for our country."
"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."
"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."
"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."
