Featured Reviews

SreejeshSoman - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Consultant at Vertex Techno Solutions (B) Pvt Ltd
Has supported mid-market deployments with cloud-based centralized management and reliable wireless performance
I faced challenges earlier with a limitation of 50 APs in single sites, but that has enhanced to 100 numbers, eliminating that challenge for Aruba Instant On team. Additionally, some features are not listed in the cloud management platform and still require offline access, so enhancing the cloud management features would be better for us.
Robert Wambani - PeerSpot reviewer
CTO at JabJabGroup
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 access it grants to wifi is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The central management of multiple devices is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable features of the solution are in the areas like routing and VLAN."
"The deployment guides that we get from Aruba are excellent."
"I like that the solution is not complex."
"It's a good solution for small businesses because it's easy to figure out."
"The most beneficial features for network management are the price and the cloud console."
"When users want to migrate from one location to another, they face no problems with connectivity."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."
"Arista Wifi (Mojo) is highly scalable with a single pane of glass for management, and its troubleshooting capabilities and deep insights are praiseworthy, which together reduce management efforts and help you achieve a great ROI."
"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."
"Altogether, they are unbeatable in the market."
"It does everything we need it to do, and it scales well, it's stable and offers good security."
"For support, we do not have to deal with a whole phone menu tree. You get to talk to an engineer right away."
"The pricing was a good value and substantially less than some of the other products that we looked at, and in some cases, with some of the bigger names, this product was even close to half the price."
"If you go with Mojo, you're not going to be sorry."
 

Cons

"If you need to access the master access point the integration between the two becomes quite expensive."
"They should enhance reporting and add more features."
"The management interface in Aruba Instant Management is Aruba AirWave, in my opinion, it is not very user-friendly."
"The only issue we've had is getting equipment supplies. The availability of the APs that I want to use has been an issue. It took almost two months to get them the first time. I've ordered a few more for another client, and they're still on back order. It has been over a month now."
"The tool's customer service should improve."
"The product can be improved by adding a clear interface."
"My biggest problem with Aruba Instant was the DHCP implementation."
"The tool needs to enhance its security features."
"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 user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"The customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."
"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 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 renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."
"The price should be lowered. It is too high for our country."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is reasonably priced."
"I would rate pricing six out of ten."
"Avoid the Central cloud license if you can."
"I purchased the hardware and there are no monthly or yearly licenses to buy."
"I personally would rather pay that little bit more and get what I need because I know what I'm getting, as opposed to going for something cheaper that's not as manageable and doesn't give as much."
"Aruba Instant is affordable."
"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
"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."
"The cost is a one-time fee."
"The price of the solution is too high for our country."
"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."
"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."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
"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."
