AI-driven optimization enhances network management and reduces hardware needs

In my region, access to the product is very difficult and presents a logistical nightmare. Also, pricing is a big problem and a barrier to entry when selling Juniper against competitors. Furthermore, the knowledge of the product's capabilities is not understood properly by those selling it, leading to overselling and overquoting.

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 tool has given us more visibility, but I'm not very technical, so I can't comment on specific features. However, the diagnostic tools for identifying system issues have greatly improved, which we appreciate. We still use Cisco ICE for authentication on the Juniper network, as we did before. We've seen cost benefits with the Juniper WLC Series, which was a key factor in our decision-making during the proof of concept. Besides cost improvements, we've also noticed better resolution of issues and faults in our help desk, thanks to the enhanced features."

"It prevents a large number of unauthorized modifications of access point devices."

"The installation process is very easy."

"The AI integration with Marvis is very valuable."

"The installation process is nice and easy."

"There weren't any scalability issues, the product did what it had to do."

"It is a very stable solution."

"It's easy to set up, and I feel it's very secure. I also prefer its reporting feature. The devices are quite good."

More Juniper WLC Series pros

"The security is a valuable feature."

"The technical support for the solution is very helpful."

"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."

"Security is top-notch with WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Prevention System)."

"The fact that they are autonomous and can function even without access to the management panel is the most valuable aspect of this solution."

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

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

"Built-in guest analytics and advanced guest portal features allow our customers to create a guest experience which is typically only available with complex and expensive third-party software."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"There could be a high level of security."

"There could be more information from the controller, and it could be easier to work with the controller lights. It's not easy to bring up the upgrades."

"The biggest issue was that Juniper stopped developing, so we had to look for another solution."

"In my region, access to the product is very difficult and presents a logistical nightmare. Also, pricing is a big problem and a barrier to entry when selling Juniper against competitors."

"The solution should create configuration documentation."

"In my region, access to the product is very difficult and presents a logistical nightmare."

"Juniper WLC Series has certain shortcomings in traffic monitoring."

"Juniper lacks a network access control agent similar to solutions like Alubakya Path and Cisco ISE."

More Juniper WLC Series cons

"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."

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

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

"The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."

"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."

"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 licensing cost is quite high, but considering it's an enterprise solution, the complexity justifies the price."

"Juniper WLC Series is a bit pricey but worth its cost."

"There is a certain amount that needs to be paid towards the licensing charges associated with the product, but though I am not sure, I feel the licenses that we have in our company are for three years."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"The product is relatively affordable for enterprise companies."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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