A highly scalable solution empowered with an AI-driven network management system
I use the solution to pull videos from buses in a bus terminus The bus drivers were not declaring ticket sales done on the bus. The solution helps us to know exactly how many tickets they've sold and how much money they've collected. It doesn't allow the drivers to steal money from the bus…

A powerful platform that provides organizations with a single console to manage
We had many blind spots at one point, so we changed the whole leverage. Under the new leverage and the FortiATs, we have our base The security is a valuable feature.  The range needs some improvement and also the stability.  I have been using Fortinet FortiWLM for two years. The rate the…

Stable product but bad tech support
Mojo provided us with the in-house solution and controller solution.  Mojo Networks should focus on improving its management area and support. We have been using Mojo Networks for the last five years. I would rate the stability an eight out of ten. Mojo Networks is a stable product. I would…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The solution is very secure."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"You can easily monitor, manage, and cover all your IT equipment."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"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."
"With Fortinet, there is a feature called Network-In-Control. It's the AP controller that decides what the clients are going to connect to... Even though your phone sees, let's say, two APs, since the wireless controller has visibility into and access across all the APs, it knows the best AP for the client to connect to. This way, the controller makes sure that none of the APs is over-crowded, and the spectrum is used properly."
"The most valuable feature of Fortinet FortiWLM is the single management pane and integrated controller inside the firewall."
"The most valuable features are central management and the many other features available."
"I use Fortinet FortiWLM for wireless communication and the internet."
"This is the only product on the market currently that supports as many access points for wifi users."
"The security is a valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the management."
"The security is a valuable feature."
"The initial setup was easy."
"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 configuration is simple and the reports can be automated."
"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs.​"
"The stability of the solution has been good. We haven't had any issues."
"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 fact that they are autonomous and can function even without access to the management panel is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
 

Cons

"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"The pricing should be made cheaper."
"The price could be better."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The range needs some improvement and also the stability."
"The guest management features need to be improved by adding automation."
"The interface could certainly do with some improvement. We have other customers with WiFi networks, and they always use Ubiquiti. With Ubiquiti, it's a much better user interface, and it is much easier to configure."
"They need to do more with their marketing. That's what's wrong with them. Nobody knows they do all this other stuff. I love the product. For an enterprise-level system, you never have to explain why you're recommending Fortinet, whereas you might have to do that if you want to use the Ubiquiti Professional or the new Netgear line, but you don't have to explain Fortinet. It has been remarkable to work with."
"The pricing for the solution is expensive and can be improved."
"Documentation could be improved."
"I have used Cisco previously and I don't see any specific differences from Fortinet FortiWLM or other vendors."
"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."
"The ​RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved.​"
"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."
"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 product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair."
"The solution is expensive."
"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."
"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."
"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."
"The pricing is too high."
"Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."
"There is a perpetual license required for this solution and the price could be reduced."
"Fortinet would do something with their pricing model to attract smaller business users and eliminate the mandatory service contracts."
"The price of Fortinet FortiWLM is reasonable compared to the other vendors. We are using a five-year license."
"The solution is fairly priced."
"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."
"For indoor access points, there is a one-time cost, upfront, whereas outdoor access points have an annual fee."
"Support contracts typically cost approximately $100.00 per year."
"The cost is a one-time fee."
"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
