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

"I have found the features in Aruba Instant to be better than in SEIM or Cisco."
"The integration with ClearPass is the most valuable feature."
"It has improved our organization because it's local management, and the access point has the same ability to have controller functionality."
"Aruba Instant is easy to manage."
"What I like best about Aruba Instant is that it serves as a virtual controller, so you don't need to buy other equipment to manage all your access points. I also like that the solution is easy to use."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that the tool offers a ZTP feature."
"The quick setup and automatic code embedded in one access point is really useful."
"In terms of stability, Aruba Instant is the best on the market."
"The solution is always easy to use and deploy, and the ease of use is one of the main reasons clients are moving from Cisco to Arista."
"The solution is very stable."
"It has given us a huge leg-up when competing with other managed service providers who use different vendors because of the visibility it gives us to customers' traffic for troubleshooting purposes."
"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."
"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."
"The initial setup was easy."
"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."
"It does everything we need it to do, and it scales well, it's stable and offers good security."
 

Cons

"Aruba Instant should not have a limit on users for future releases."
"The reach of the solution could be improved. It could be a bit stronger."
"The tool's support quality has changed since HPE acquired it. It is also impossible to tell the log dates."
"I think they're missing roadmaps to the partners and the customers."
"In a corporate environment or a larger network, where more advanced filtering or MAC-based filtering is needed, I don't think the IAPs would be sufficient."
"Aruba Instant can improve by increasing the gigabit range of the switch or by adding additional management features and tools."
"This solution would be improved if they supplied free software controllers."
"The product's high cost is an area where improvements are required."
"The setup was 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."
"Both 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."
"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"The user interface needs improvement to make navigation even more simplistic."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product’s pricing a two out of ten."
"I purchased the hardware and there are no monthly or yearly licenses to buy."
"I rate the product's price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Aruba Instant is affordable."
"It is not expensive. Its price is fair. You get many features with the normal licensing. If I look at Cisco, it is very expensive if I need similar things."
"The licensing cost is somewhere around $20,000."
"There’s no licensing required to use the tool."
"Avoid the Central cloud license if you can."
"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."
"The price of the solution is too high for our country."
"The cost is a one-time fee."
"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."
"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."
