ExtremeCloud IQ vs Mojo Networks comparison

"ExtremeCloud IQ helps with monitoring networking at low costs, acting as a controller in a cloud environment, eliminating the need for an appliance controller or wireless LAN controller, thus saving on investment and reducing TCO costs."

"It is more cost effective and gives more flexibility."

"The cloud management gives us the tools and reports that we need to monitor and troubleshoot the network."

"The technical support for this solution is good."

"The deployment made my life very easy."

"App and firewall security at the AP."

"The deployment made my life very easy."

"The cloud-based management interface allows us to fully manage all our wireless radios, ensuring consistency and ease of access."

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

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

"The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good."

"It's scalable. You don't have to configure an access point. Literally, if I needed a new one, I just take it right out of the box, go plug it into our network. It finds our Mojo network, and then it talks to the other access points that are close to it, and then it literally adopts the policies, and meshes itself in our network."

"The solution is very stable."

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

"I would like to see a remote phone application for monitoring APs when on the road."

"We'd like to have a cloud dashboard from which we can see all devices."

"The Virtual Appliance crashed once while doing an upgrade. The good thing here is, even if the management system fails, all our networks and features still remain 100% stable and working."

"Need port aggregation on the 2384 switches to take full advantage of ac on the APs. I understand that is on their product road map."

"Having a wizard for customers who are just starting might be helpful."

"The solution's performance needs to be enhanced because of a very high delay."

"The tool has simplified things, but it also adds a complexity that sometimes stumps some users."

"Lacks cyber asset tracking."

"The setup was complex."

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

"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."

"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 implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."

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

"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 ​RF signalling and data analytics parts should be improved.​"

"Price-wise, it is a reasonable tool."

"I am not involved in the price, but I am sure that it is not cheap."

"Although the pricing is a bit high, I consider Aerohive to be well worth the money."

"Previously, ExtremeCloudIQ provided free licensing for all the basic requirements of their customers. An advanced cloud user had to purchase advanced licenses for automation and advanced country features at the enterprise level. They have restricted the licensing, allowing only up to ten units for testing, which is challenging. This limitation becomes problematic, especially in countries like Sri Lanka or other Asian countries, where customers face economic challenges and have limited budgets. The previous free option was beneficial, but it has become tougher to manage with these new changes. They should revise their pricing structure, offering the basic features free of charge for up to 50 AP. Larger entities with more than 50 APs have the budget to support them. Still, it becomes more difficult for small and medium-sized businesses with less than 50 APs to allocate a significant budget for control and management features."

"There are probably cheaper solutions but we invest for stability and performance for the longer haul."

"The product pricing is reasonable."

"Extreme licensing is based on the number of access points. When you buy the license for the first year, everything is included, such as access to mapping, etc. If you don't renew your software assurance for the second year, the access points will still work, but you can't use the cloud management tools."

"For example, if you compare Aruba vs Aerohive, you need to check which licences from Aruba you need to match the functionality of Aerohive (usually you need at least three types of licences and a controller with redundancy). The same goes with Cisco, where you need buy additional licences for central management, firewall, spectral analysis, WIPS, PPSK, etc. Aerohive has a very simple model - one licence for all the functionalities - and you can believe that there are many. One licence makes it easy to maintain, scale, renew and you can plan your costs 10 years in advance."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"The license is provided per access point, so you buy an access point and you use it."
