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.

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

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 installation is very simple. We've limited the security feature, which I found valuable, and that allows two separate networks, one for the company and one for a guest network. During installation, it is very easy at that point to divide it."

"The technical support from Aruba is of high quality, and I would rate it a ten."

"It's practical. It does what it needs to do."

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

"In terms of stability, Aruba Instant is the best on the market."

"The deployment is easy."

"The access it grants to wifi is the solution's most valuable feature."

More Aruba Instant pros

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The initial setup was easy."

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

"The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"I think that the next release should offer IP phone security/firewall."

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

"I think they're missing roadmaps to the partners and the customers. They're releasing the products, but there are no quick updates to the partners and the customers."

"The network planner could be improved. You should be able to import a floor plan, and the application should suggest the optimal placement of your devices."

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

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

"The security features must be improved."

"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."

More Aruba Instant cons

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

"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 setup was complex."

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

"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."

"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. We are using the older software technology, so maybe their newest version is able to do that."

"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."

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The product is reasonably priced."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"The product has increased its pricing by at least 30 percent."

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

"We only pay for the support and the contract licenses from Aruba Instant."

"Avoid the Central cloud license if you can."

"I rate the product’s pricing a two out of ten."

More Aruba Instant pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"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."
