Featured Reviews

Alessandro Salvadori - PeerSpot reviewer
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 - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I've worked with other products, but I prefer Aruba because of its cost and simplicity."
"The technical support from Aruba is of high quality, and I would rate it a ten."
"The central management of multiple devices is the solution's most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable feature of this product is that it is easily deployed."
"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward, considering that the tool offers a ZTP feature."
"Aruba Instant is easy to manage."
"Aruba Instant is a cloud-managed solution that can be managed from the cloud."
"Aruba Instant's best feature is the ability to manage it in the cloud."
"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 security is a valuable feature."
"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs.​"
"Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
"The initial setup was easy."
"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."
"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."
"The fact that they are autonomous and can function even without access to the management panel is the most valuable aspect of this solution."
 

Cons

"Technical support needs improvement. We use the forum for technical support assistance, but it's not enough. If you're talking with a technician, they're in India. They cannot give you the service that you need. Sometimes have problems with some personal services and technical support is not helpful in this area."
"The reach of the solution could be improved. It could be a bit stronger."
"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."
"I think that the next release should offer IP phone security/firewall."
"It is not powerful enough and lacks features recommended for larger dimensions, making it unsuitable for big companies with requirements like 100 access points."
"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."
"This solution would be improved if they supplied free software controllers."
"Aruba Instant should not have a limit on users for future releases."
"The setup was complex."
"The user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"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."
"My only complaint about this product is its availability. Not many people can stock it and ordering from overseas is a challenge."
"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 customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."
"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."
"The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I purchased the hardware and there are no monthly or yearly licenses to buy."
"There’s no licensing required to use the tool."
"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."
"Avoid the Central cloud license if you can."
"I would rate the pricing a five out of ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The product is competitively priced"
"We only pay for the support and the contract licenses from Aruba Instant."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is a one-time fee."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
