Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 31, 2024

Mojo Networks and Aruba Instant are competing products in the wireless networking space. Aruba Instant holds the upper hand with its advanced features, making it a preferred choice despite Mojo Networks being favored for pricing and support.

Features: Mojo Networks provides robust security features such as its patented Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (WIPS), advanced analytics with Cognitive WiFi, and comprehensive visibility into network usage. Aruba Instant, however, offers versatile network management tools, a virtual controller for centralized management, and easy integration with ClearPass for enhanced security controls.

Room for Improvement: Mojo Networks could improve scalability options for larger enterprises and enhance cloud management flexibility. Additionally, its integration with third-party systems can be enhanced. Aruba Instant might work on lowering initial setup costs and enhancing customer service responsiveness. It could benefit from strengthening its role-based access controls further.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Aruba Instant is known for its seamless deployment model and efficient cloud management. Mojo Networks, while simpler to deploy with its plug-and-play model, receives more praise for responsive customer support.

Pricing and ROI: Mojo Networks offers lower setup costs and a promising ROI, attracting budget-conscious businesses. Aruba Instant, though higher in initial costs, provides substantial long-term benefits through its feature-rich offerings, which may justify the investment for businesses seeking advanced management tools.

Comes at a good price and has a good cloud console

We usually sell Aruba Instant where there is no need for more than four or five switches. It is generally recommended for very small companies where we don't need more than three or four switches We are using it only for very small companies. We have had a reduction in time, but it is not that…

Robert Wambani

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 most valuable feature of Aruba Instant is its cloud capability, which allows us to manage it through the cloud."

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that the tool offers a ZTP feature."

"Aruba Instant is easy to manage."

"This is a very solid product. It is very powerful."

"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."

"Aruba Instant is a cloud-managed solution that can be managed from the cloud."

"When users want to migrate from one location to another, they face no problems with connectivity."

"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."

More Aruba Instant pros

"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."

"The security is a valuable feature."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"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."

"The reach of the solution could be improved. It could be a bit stronger."

"The Central cloud management (optional) is far behind the competition in features, ease of use, and dependability. I have tried Aruba Central a few times over the years and, in my option, it is not where it needs to be for serious consideration in production environments."

"The security features must be improved."

"I believe there's room for improvement in monitoring, especially when troubleshooting issues. Currently, there's limited intelligence around monitoring. It needs to improve stability and scalability."

"This solution would be improved if they supplied free software controllers."

"The product can be improved by adding a clear interface."

"Aruba Instant can improve by increasing the gigabit range of the switch or by adding additional management features and tools. It can be helpful."

More Aruba Instant cons

"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."

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

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

"Compared to other OEMs, Mojo Networks or Arista faces a little bit of coverage issues. So, if we put the same dBm, the power of the other OEMs indicates much more extensive coverage compared to Mojo or Arista."

"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."

"The setup was complex."

"The customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is neither cheap nor expensive."

"The customers do not have to pay for licensing."

"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."

"We pay about $300 per access point."

"In my region right now, Aruba Instant comes with a default two-year cloud access license."

"Some in the hospitality industry use the solution because it's cheaper and doesn't require licenses."

"Avoid the Central cloud license if you can."

More Aruba Instant pricing and cost advice

"We have a term that is renewed every three years."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

"The cost is a one-time fee."
