Features: Cisco Meraki offers a user-friendly interface, centralized management for seamless integration with other Meraki products, and cloud-based solutions that simplify visibility and management. Its features are especially attractive to smaller organizations or those with limited IT resources. Mojo Networks, on the other hand, excels in security capabilities with its Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS) and provides comprehensive analytical tools that help in-depth network insights. It is also appreciated for its easy implementation and strong analytical capabilities.

Room for Improvement: Cisco Meraki could enhance its offerings with advanced customization options, better error logging, and improved integration features.

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

"Cisco Meraki is HIPAA compliant."

"It is very stable, very resilient, and very robust."

"I have found it to be stable."

"It improved the installation time."

"The cloud manageability feature is valuable."

"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."

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

"It's easy to manage and provides a clear network view, allowing efficient navigation down to the network details."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pros

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

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

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

"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."

"For support, we do not have to deal with a whole phone menu tree. You get to talk to an engineer right away."

"The initial setup was easy."

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

"The security is a valuable feature."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"The product's coverage area could be expanded. It would help ensure better connectivity."

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

"It would be good to integrate with ISE in the future."

"Overall the solution needs to have more time to mature."

"Currently, only a limited number of clients can connect to these devices."

"Concern when there are a number of concurrent users."

"If they could work on the Meraki firewall hardware, and add SSL decryption as well as more application control and deep packet inspection, that would be ideal."

"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."

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN cons

"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."

"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.""

"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."

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

"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."

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

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay licensing fees."

"Pricing could be better."

"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."

"The solution is pretty expensive."

"Cisco Meraki requires either a one year or three year license for a standard enterprise license."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."

"I don't deal with pricing directly, however, it's my understanding that it is around $40 per unit."

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

More Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

"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."

"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."

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

"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."

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