Shahnawaz Nusrat - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Technical Operations at ITE
Has simplified wireless integration while needing better throughput and captive portal features
The product can be improved depending on the model selected as per requirements. Support is good and throughput is good. What we need to do is select a better product as per our requirement and environment. If proper working is done in terms of wireless heat map or radio connectivity in our environment, I believe it's good. There is always a chance to improve. Throughput can be better in terms of other vendors, but currently, it's working fine. One feature that I still need to explore is the captive portal. When we deploy a unit in a public environment, users need to sign in with a pop-up box to connect.

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 aspect of Fortinet FortiAP is the support."
"The product's deployment phase is very easy since its documentation part is available in the public domain."
"Fortinet FortiAPs are useful for small to medium-scale companies where there are budget concerns."
"The pricing is reasonable for what it offers."
"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 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 integration is efficient, allowing for management through the firewall."
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."
"It does everything we need it to do, and it scales well, it's stable and offers good security."
"The technical support is pretty good."
"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 features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The Mojo has proved to handle these high-density requirements and perform better than many competitive devices."
 

Cons

"FortiAP is very good in an indoor environment, but we are struggling with the outdoor environment."
"There is room for improvement in the product by expanding the number of SSIDs that can be broadcast."
"I would like to have automation capabilities that would help us reduce the configuration steps."
"There could be constraints where a product can't be scaled further without purchasing a new model."
"The product fails to offer default access points to deal with the areas revolving around configurations."
"A point for improvement for Fortinet FortiAP would be improvements in the GUI, which is adequate but could be improved."
"The improvement factor could be in APs. Also, it could have a control, like MAC address."
"Throughput can be better in terms of other vendors, but currently, it's working fine."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."
"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."
"The distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."
"Technical support could be more helpful. They are lacking a bit in that regard."
"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.""
"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."
"The user interface needs improvement to make navigation even more simplistic."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
 

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."
"If I compare it with the other enterprise products, the price is good."
"FortiAP is more expensive than some other options."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten with ten being the most expensive, I would rate FortiAP a six."
"We purchased perpetual licensing, and additional costs may vary depending on the services acquired from Fortinet."
"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 license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
"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."
"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 cost is a one-time fee."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution is too high for our country."
