Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 15, 2025

Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN and Mojo Networks are two leading competitors in the wireless LAN market. Cisco Meraki appears to have an advantage in ease of deployment and broad cloud-managed capabilities, while Mojo Networks offers strong security and competitive pricing.

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. Suggested improvements include enhanced support, logging granularity, and GDPR compliance. Mojo Networks could improve its management portal for better simplicity, consolidate dashboard functionalities, and integrate more diagnostics features with improved technical support.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN thrives in various deployment environments, including Private, Public, Hybrid Cloud, and On-premises solutions.

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 feature is that the solution is friendly to manage."

"The flexibility, since it's a cloud service, is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"I really don't have any problems with the stability of the product."

"Cisco's technical support is very good and better than other vendors."

"The single dashboard of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is the most valuable feature for me."

"The product's cloud controller is easy to use."

"It is more robust for me to deploy networks. And because of the field we are in where offices open up and others close, it helps my turnaround time to deploy these networks for the customers."

"With Cisco products and third-party products, integration of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is good."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pros

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

"Initial setup was straightforward."

"The configuration is simple and the reports can be automated."

"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."

"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."

"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."

"It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product."

"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"The technical support for Meraki needs improvements made to the waiting times."

"Technical support can be improved, as well as having more detailed capabilities to go without using an API."

"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."

"They should introduce a grace period of 60 days after license expiry because as it is now, it automatically goes down and there is no grace period."

"Licensing is, in my opinion, the least appealing component. It can be difficult to keep licenses up to date in order for the system to function properly."

"There is a processing limitation when you have multiple SSIDs, above three or four."

"If you lose connectivity with the controller, your Wi-Fi network is immediately impacted."

"The issue primarily revolves around failure to renew the license on time, leading to service termination."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN cons

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

"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is expensive. I rate the pricing a nine out of ten."

"This solution is quite costly and there are costs in addition to the licensing fees."

"Cisco products are generally recognized for their performance and quality, which may justify the higher price point compared to other options on the market."

"The solution could improve the licensing structure and the price is expensive."

"Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is an expensive solution."

"It is 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."

"The price/benefit ratio is great."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."
