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 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."

"You don't have to deal with licenses."

"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 stability of the solution is very good."

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

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

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

"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."

More Aruba Instant pros

"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."

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

"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 stability of the solution has been good. We haven't had any issues."

"It is a hundred percent scalable product since its functionalities are good...It is a very stable product."

"The solution is very stable."

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

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"They should enhance reporting and add more features."

"The product’s GUI must be improved."

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

"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."

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

"They could provide a centralized system to manage switches incorporated into multiple branches."

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

"The meshing could use improvement but aside from that nothing else really needs improvement."

More Aruba Instant cons

"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”."

"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.""

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Aruba Instant is affordable."

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

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

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."

"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."

"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."

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

More Aruba Instant pricing and cost advice

"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."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"The cost is a one-time fee."

"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."

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