Features: Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN provides robust centralized management via a cloud-based dashboard, which allows seamless configuration from anywhere. Its user-friendly interface and security features simplify the management of multi-site deployments. Cisco Meraki excels in providing comprehensive cloud management and reporting tools. Mojo Networks is renowned for its strong security features, including WIPS, and offers reliable performance with advanced analytics and seamless connectivity. Mojo provides competitive cloud-managed capabilities and emphasizes security and analytics at a better price point.

Room for Improvement: Cisco Meraki is often criticized for its high licensing costs and the subscription model, which affects functionality after expiration.

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

"Its management is most valuable. It is the major feature of Meraki."

"The dashboard to keep track of 30 or so APs, switches, routers and logs, is invaluable. I liked the UX on this."

"It's a stable product."

"The management and upgrades are very simple and straightforward."

"There are many valuable features of Cisco Meraki, including the switches, stacking, and layer 3 routing."

"The most valuable thing to me is the stability of the product."

"Cloud management, wireless infrastructure, and implementation are all valuable features."

"The most valuable feature is the stability. It works and doesn't stop."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pros

"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."

"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 stability of the solution has been good. We haven't had any issues."

"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."

"Initial setup was straightforward."

"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."

"The security is a valuable feature."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"The annual maintenance is something that needs to be changed."

"It is super expensive for what you get. I just wish it was less expensive."

"In the next release, I would like to see the central control plane have the flexibility to control and distribute policies to all LAN networks, balance the traffic, and the performance based on application monitoring."

"The solution's pricing could be improved."

"The biggest pain point is that they limit you through firewall throughput. I understand why they do it, but that really grates me. For instance, for 450 Mbps throughput, you're looking at £800 for a router, whereas if you look at the one gig connection, for some of us are lucky enough to have a gig connection, you could almost be spending £3,000 for the option to have one gig connectivity. That's one of the pain points I've got. I don't mind paying for throughput, but I should at least have the option to be able to update that throughput, maybe through extra licensing or something else. It is crazy expensive to jump through to the next one."

"Meraki is still very much a small office type of solution. It is not a fit for large enterprise networks, as it doesn't have tunneling functionalities."

"The solution could be cheaper."

"They could also add some more controls for guest access. For example, when you have a captive portal, it would be nice to limit the amount of time users can stay connected per day. Right now, you can only configure the splash frequency. And you can set the connection for one hour, but you have to use the billing feature."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN cons

"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.""

"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."

"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."

"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 solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."

"The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."

"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"The distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is slightly more expensive than others, such as Ruckus Wi-Fi."

"The cost of both the hardware and licensing is high, and it is more than what I would prefer to spend currently."

"At this price point, I would not mind seeing a four-way channel, instead of a 3x3 or a 4x4, like they do in the Cisco Aironet system with their other brand. For the same price point in this other Cisco brand, it is a lot cheaper, and you can get a slightly better throughput than you can with these."

"There are multiple licensing options including three months, six months, and one year."

"The price of the product could be cheaper."

"Its price is high and should be reduced."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"I haven't conducted a price comparison yet, but based on information, it appears to be more affordable than the current environment. Therefore, I consider the price to be reasonable."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

"The price of the solution is too high for our country."

"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."

"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."

"We have a term that is renewed every three years."

"The cost is a one-time fee."

"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."

"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."
