Executive SummaryUpdated on Mar 9, 2025

Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN and Mojo Networks are competitors in the WLAN market. While Cisco Meraki provides a user-friendly cloud-managed interface, Mojo Networks has the upper hand in advanced security features, making it a better choice for security-focused environments.

Features: Cisco Meraki excels in centralized cloud-based management, providing ease of network configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting through a detailed dashboard. It is suitable for both small-scale and enterprise environments and offers flexible security features. Mojo Networks stands out with robust security measures like the Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) and delivers comprehensive analytics through its cloud platform, offering excellent visibility and control for compliance and advanced user insights.

Room for Improvement: Cisco Meraki could improve its error log detail for deeper troubleshooting, enhance support continuity, and reduce dependence on cloud connectivity for more customizable configurations. Its restrictive licensing model is also a disadvantage. Mojo Networks should streamline its management interfaces and extend its security and analytics capabilities. While both could enhance their support structures, Cisco Meraki needs more granular log data and configuration options, whereas Mojo Networks needs administrative consolidation and additional security features.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Cisco Meraki offers flexible deployment options across public, private, and hybrid clouds. However, challenges with initial support contact and regional accuracy exist. Mojo Networks is largely cloud-based, with a simple deployment process and high customer service and technical support availability. Meraki provides more deployment versatility, while Mojo Networks guarantees a consistent service experience.

Pricing and ROI: Cisco Meraki's premium pricing, tied to licensing, affects its appeal in budget-sensitive situations. Nevertheless, its comprehensive features and management ease usually offer ROI through operational savings and user satisfaction. Mojo Networks is more cost-effective, with competitive pricing and expansive feature access without additional device licensing costs. Its attractive ROI is advantageous for budget-conscious organizations seeking robust functionality.

Enables organizations to control many sites globally with a lean IT team and provides visibility into the user activities

The solution can handle only medium and small businesses. We face a bottleneck on the gateway while using the solution for large enterprises. The solution must be able to expand to larger enterprises. Currently, the MX device can support only up to 10,000 users. It would be good if it can go beyond 1 lakh users. Catalyst 9300 is coming on the Meraki Dashboard. The vendor must also bring in the 9400 and 9600 Catalyst series. It will be very helpful. We will not have any choke on the gateway. There is no active-active concept. It will be very helpful if the solution provides active-active. Now, we are doing an active-passive setup, which is a warm spare. If it is an active-active setup, the gateway bottleneck issue can be resolved. I would be able to segment the Wireless LAN IPs. It will help support 20,000 devices at a go. Meraki does not have a single dashboard. I need to port an on-premise controller. There is a bottleneck while scaling the product. I need to consider a lot of things.

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 captive portal feature is my favorite. It allows us to keep track of how many people are entering our client's businesses."

"It is cloud-based. You can manage it remotely from anywhere in the world, and you don't have to be on-site, which is a very big advantage."

"The monitoring device enables you to see the network health."

"The interface is excellent. We've been really happy with it."

"We rarely encounter any issues. The solutions have been very stable."

"I really love their cloud-based dashboard which allows me to see all my locations from one location."

"The automatic VMware update is very useful because you don't have to worry about outages and planning for VMware updates. It is very advantageous from a management point of view. The ability to restrict and review the clients connected to each of our segments. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."

"This product offers cloud-based configuration, so you can set it up from anywhere."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pros

"The fact that they are autonomous and can function even without access to the management panel is the most valuable aspect of this solution."

"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."

"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."

"Initial setup was straightforward."

"The initial setup was easy."

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

"Their Cognitive WiFi analytics (Mojo Aware) is the biggest feature on their dashboard. It helps us know where the problem, so we don't have to spend time with the customer diagnosing it."

"The solution is very stable."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"Meraki leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to the technical capabilities in terms of throughput, spectrum, management, higher-level functions, etc"

"The only thing that always causes problems with Meraki is the license. It's a bit of a bugbear with Meraki, and it remains today. So it's an unusual concept compared to the other products in the marketplace, but then it does cause a bit of a nuisance from time to time."

"The solution should be more secure."

"Cisco Meraki must improve the integration between its own family of products."

"Initially, I liked some of the filtering features, but that's one of the components that we ran into problems with."

"It would be better if they enable full integration with Cisco's cloud-based network in the next release."

"The customization needs to be improved because it's pretty locked down."

"The technical support from Cisco is good, but they can improve themselves in some areas. Sometimes it takes a while to provide a solution or an answer to our problem."

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.""

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

"The RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved."

"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 customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."

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

"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."

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."

"It's not super expensive and it's not super cheap."

"The tool is reasonably priced."

"The pricing is on the higher side."

"Having a good price is important when we are providing quotations for projects."

"We don't like the licensing model and we think that it needs to be improved significantly."

"Its licensing is on a yearly basis. It can be for three, five, or ten years. I'm happy with the pricing. You basically pay for what you get. It is that simple. When you look at Ubiquiti or Aruba, Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN far outweighs what you get. If you're in the UK, Ubiquiti gives a three-year or five-year warranty, whereas here in the UAE, they only give a one-year warranty, which is no good to me. Who buys a piece of equipment with only one year warranty on it? It doesn't make sense."

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

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."

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