SreejeshSoman - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Consultant at Vertex Techno Solutions (B) Pvt Ltd
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 - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Aruba Instant is very useful; even if you just have one device you can create a larger network with just a few configurations and you don't have to deal with licenses."
"The easy setup means that the initial deployment becomes the master access point and everything else follows automatically."
"I would rate the stability a ten out of ten."
"The products offer a lot of flexibility. Almost everything can be configured. It works very well for providing remote services."
"The integration with ClearPass is the most valuable feature."
"Aruba Instant Management is really pretty flexible because of the versatility of the configuration and it just works very well for our purposes."
"The scalability of the solution is excellent."
"In the last couple of years of using it, I haven't had a single technical problem with the solution."
"The cloud-based architecture of the controller is valuable because it obviously saves on my hardware costs.​"
"Altogether, they are unbeatable in the market."
"The technical support is pretty good."
"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 stability of the solution has been good. We haven't had any issues."
"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 pricing was a good value and substantially less than some of the other products that we looked at, and in some cases, with some of the bigger names, this product was even close to half the price."
"We can see what the network is being used for or where problems may be."
 

Cons

"It uses a different portal and has limitations from the customer side as it's not refined for MSP."
"The Instant has a problem with the VPR 3 when I am working with the roaming; the problem is that the keys are incorrect and I must do a disconnect and reconnect, and then it's okay."
"The management component is difficult to understand and not very user-friendly which increases deployment time."
"There is a problem in the preferred portal access points when I'm using the portal."
"Integration between the two is pricey and that would be my one complaint about this product."
"The only issue that I have encountered was the captive portal through Facebook."
"Aruba Instant is a simple and scalable solution that works well, but the costs you incur from access points could be cheaper."
"This solution would be improved if they supplied free software controllers."
"Technical support could be more helpful. They are lacking a bit in that regard."
"The price should be lowered. It is too high for our country."
"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 setup was complex."
"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."
"The customer service and support took a lot of time to come on the troubleshooting call."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Some in the hospitality industry use the solution because it's cheaper and doesn't require licenses."
"I purchased the hardware and there are no monthly or yearly licenses to buy."
"The product has increased its pricing by at least 30 percent."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"In my region right now, Aruba Instant comes with a default two-year cloud access license."
"Avoid the Central cloud license if you can."
"We only pay for the support and the contract licenses from Aruba Instant."
"Aruba Instant is a free subscription with a limited lifetime warranty."
"I rate the product's price as an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"It requires a license and that's a recurring cost and that has a really high cheque value."
"The price of the solution is too high for our country."
"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 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."
"In Australian dollars, we buy it for five years at $1,200."
"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."
"We have a term that is renewed every three years."
