Offers robust network management with cost considerations for large deployments
Large enterprises typically invest in FortiAnalyzer, though our company and SMB clients don't require this analysis tool. We use Ekahau for floor planning and Wi-Fi coverage analysis rather than Fortinet FortiWLM's built-in features. Ekahau helps us perform site surveys and plan access point placement. Fortinet FortiWLM is a flexible and common solution in Dubai. It's one of the best-selling products, with Etisalat, the largest ISP, installing Fortinet FortiGate for approximately 70-80% of their clients. The solution offers different series to accommodate various needs. The triple radio model costs around $1,000 (3,500 dirham) and supports 40-50 connected devices. The 231F model suits smaller deployments of 20-25 devices. I rate Fortinet FortiWLM a seven out of ten. While it's an excellent solution, Cisco remains the market leader.

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

"I found that It's really good when comparing it to any other product or it is much better in terms of features that the customer requires."
"The solution is stable."
"This is the only product on the market currently that supports as many access points for wifi users."
"The most valuable features are the roaming profile, the mesh, and the performance."
"When you see it working, you immediately become a fan."
"We innovate the business process, we innovate how employees work in their companies, and in the case of stores we are bringing new results and new income, helping them grow their sales with customers who like to go to their stores because they can access the information they need, connect to the wireless LAN, compare prices, and engage with the retail store."
"We're using SD-WAN at all of our locations now, which helps increase and aggregate and lower response time and improve application performance."
"The most valuable features are central management and the many other features available."
"The technical support for the solution is very helpful."
"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."
"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."
"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."
"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs."
"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."
"If you go with Mojo, you're not going to be sorry."
"The solution is always easy to use and deploy, and the ease of use is one of the main reasons clients are moving from Cisco to Arista."
 

Cons

"When using the FortiGate as the wireless controller, you cannot have automatic user registration, which is something that they should offer."
"One of the main features that I see as lacking in any of the Fortinet products is the reporting. If you want to have proper, end-to-end reporting, you must purchase the FortiAnalyzer... If Fortinet could offer some better, built-in reporting, that would be a point of improvement."
"There are currently issues with Fortinet's software quality."
"They need to do more with their marketing."
"The platform's pricing needs improvement."
"Documentation could be improved."
"The price could be reduced by 20%. In Dubai, UniFi costs 700 dirham for the UniFi Pro 7th generation. For Fortinet FortiWLM, a similar model would cost around 1,300 dirham."
"Cost is something that could be improved, but you have to pay for what you get."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
"The customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."
"The distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."
"The user interface needs improvement to make navigation even more simplistic."
"The user interface could use some improvement, and Mojo is working on it."
"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 product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive. I give the solution a one out of ten for the price."
"Support contracts typically cost approximately $100.00 per year."
"Licensing has become easier. There is no longer a per-AP license needed on the controller."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"For indoor access points, there is a one-time cost, upfront, whereas outdoor access points have an annual fee."
"The product is highly expensive. I rate the pricing a ten."
"In the last few years, due in part to the impact of COVID on the market, Fortinet has increased its prices by 35 percent."
"If a customer already is a FortiGate customer, the cost to go to the FortiAP is incredibly affordable, because you already have the controller."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
"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."
"The cost is a one-time fee."
"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."
"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."
