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.

Senior Presales Consultant - Networking Solutions at Mannai

A highly stable and easy-to-deploy solution that is free and provides excellent deployment guides

The setup is very straightforward. There is no complexity at all. It took us 15 minutes. We need IP address details, DNS, a gateway, DHCP servers, and SSIDs. Single access points can act as controller-based, controller-less, and cloud-based solutions. That is the beauty of Aruba. If I have an on-premise solution and want to move to the cloud, I don't need separate hardware. The same hardware can be utilized in the cloud. The deployment guides that we get from Aruba are excellent. We have every piece of detail.

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

"It is easy to use, manage, and implement."

"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 deployment is easy."

"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."

"We like being able to merge Aruba Instant to mobile via Bluetooth. You are also able to perform a lot of functions remotely such as creating an SSID IP."

"The most beneficial features for network management are the price and the cloud console."

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

"The central management of multiple devices is the solution's most valuable aspect."

More Aruba Instant pros

"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."

"Initial setup was straightforward."

"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."

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

"The configuration is simple and the reports can be automated."

"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."

"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."

"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"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 product's high cost is an area where improvements are required."

"We have faced delay in customer support which has affected our business performance. So the customer support needs to be prompt in their responses."

"It is a software characteristic, and it is during the reboot. During the startup of the AP, the AP tells you that you are using the wrong password. However, I have realized that this is not true."

"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."

"It would be better if Aruba Instant could provide more security for customers."

"The security features must be improved."

"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."

More Aruba Instant cons

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

"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.""

"The product's initial setup phase and configuration are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."

"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."

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

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

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"We pay about $300 per access point."

"The cost was affordable."

"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."

"I purchased the hardware and there are no monthly or yearly licenses to buy."

"Two years ago, I paid INR 12,000 for access points, but now, I will have to pay double the amount, which comes up to INR 24,000, making it a costly product."

"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."

More Aruba Instant pricing and cost advice

"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."

"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 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."

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

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

"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."
