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

"It's a good solution for small businesses because it's easy to figure out."
"We like that we can assign our employees based on authentication over Windows in the main controller."
"The most beneficial features for network management are the price and the cloud console."
"You don't have to deal with licenses."
"The most valuable features of the solution are in the areas like routing and VLAN."
"Has many advanced features: Built-in firewall, local radius, application visibility and control, not locked into support agreements."
"The features I have found most valuable is that the solution creates a guest portal for guest networks, and setting up SSID authentication to the regular server."
"The coverage of the solution is great."
"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."
"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 technical support is pretty good."
"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 Mojo has proved to handle these high-density requirements and perform better than many competitive devices."
"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 solution is very stable."
"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."
 

Cons

"My biggest problem with Aruba Instant was the DHCP implementation. The DHCP server needs to ping an IP address to connect to the internet. In some cases, we don't have a DHCP server in the network, and it was really a problem."
"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."
"This solution would be improved if they supplied free software controllers."
"The product is a little expensive."
"For some people, price is a concern."
"Aruba Instant does not currently offer a multi-gig switch or product, making it an area that requires improvement. Aruba Instant's competitors have multi-gig switches or products."
"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."
"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 implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."
"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 to make navigation even more simplistic."
"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The setup was complex."
"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.""
"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."
"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has increased its pricing by at least 30 percent."
"I purchased the hardware and there are no monthly or yearly licenses to buy."
"Some aspect of the price of Aruba Instant is very economical because if the customer is requiring more features the customer needs to pay a higher amount."
"In terms of costs, Aruba Instant is cheap because it doesn't require a license, but you'll incur charges for the access points. Access point charges could be more affordable."
"I rate the product’s pricing a two out of ten."
"The cost was affordable."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"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."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
"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."
