Offers good performance, good solution and smooth implementation

I do have a suggestion: it would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network. If there are access points from other brands installed nearby; they can cause interference and disrupt the range of our Mist access points. So, the security features could be stronger, especially in terms of authentication. The connectivity is excellent, but security needs improvement. In future releases, integrating more AI features would be beneficial. If Mist had stronger AI features, it could provide better security against network threats and cyberattacks. So, this solution still needs to improve its AI capabilities. It would be great if the AI could improve the range of the access points, and auto-protect functionality should be there to avoid interference by other nearby access points and enhance threat detection. In the future, I'd like to see stronger threat detection features integrated with Mist, as well as better detection of nearby access points that might cause interference.

Experience seamless connectivity with top-notch roaming capabilities

The Aruba Wireless solution has excellent roaming capabilities, ensuring seamless connectivity. Once installed, Aruba Wireless works robustly without overheating issues. This is particularly effective compared to other products I've used, like FortiMonitor and FortiAPs, which sometimes heat up. I am very satisfied with the roaming feature, as it ensures connectivity when moving from one location to another. The product's stability, after setting it up, adds to its value.

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

"For the most part, it does what it's supposed to do, and I like it. It's a great product."

"Mist AI is a very powerful feature. Juniper is the only company that has introduced AI into networking."

"Juniper Mist offers valuable features like comprehensive network insight, granular policy control, fast device setup, strong security, and efficient SSL traffic management."

"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."

"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."

"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."

"The solution is very secure."

"The AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

"Price is one of the most important factors. We have a solution that's reasonably cost-effective when balanced against all the areas we need to cover."

"Aruba Wireless is stable."

"I do not need to buy a controller for the access point since the Aruba Access Point has a built-in virtual controller."

"It provided an easy WiFi solution for our branch offices to deploy. We could usually have them up and running from out-of-the-box in about 10 minutes."

"It has improved overall IT efficiency across the board."

"Support through third party vendors or direct from HPE has been easy to manage. They are very responsive."

"APs are very easy to configure to the network once they contact the controller."

"Support for both on-premises and cloud environments has proven effective for network management."

More Aruba Wireless pros

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

"Initial setup was straightforward."

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

"The security is a valuable feature."

"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 most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."

"For support, we do not have to deal with a whole phone menu tree. You get to talk to an engineer right away."

"Their Cognitive WiFi analytics (Mojo Aware) is the biggest feature on their dashboard. It helps us know where the problem, so we don't have to spend time with the customer diagnosing it."

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"The solution is expensive."

"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."

"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."

"Though certain security features are integrated into the product, my company has to always look forward to tightening certain security functionalities in the solution."

"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."

"Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points’ support services need improvement."

"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."

"It would be helpful to have even stronger security features to help protect against interference from other nearby access points that aren't part of our network."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

"There has been a recent decrease in the level of support."

"The management system would be better if it were more polished, if it had a better interface like, for example, Meraki"

"Some additional reporting features about the clients would be nice when not combined with the AirWave management package."

"We would like to declare a specific number of devices that an employee or a user can use to access their Wi-Fi."

"The network times for protocol synchronization can be improved."

"The initial setup is more complex than other solutions."

"The price could be better. In the next release, I would like to have more analytics features."

"There are some issues we occasionally have. However, they are easily remedied."

More Aruba Wireless cons

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

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

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

"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."

"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 user interface needs improvement. It could be a little bit more user-friendly."

"I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."

"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”."

More Mojo Networks cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the product price as a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is inexpensive, and ten is expensive. It is a reasonably priced tool."

"The solution is expensive."

"The pricing is something Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) can work on. The pricing is very high compared to the competition."

"I rate Juniper Mist's pricing a ten out of ten since it is expensive."

"The pricing is too high."

"If a customer has a budget of around five lakhs in Indian currency, they can afford Juniper products."

"Juniper Wireless AP's price is a little more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."

"The pricing is fair."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

"Aruba is less expensive than Cisco."

"There is so much licensing, you literally pay for every solution, add-on, or cool feature. Compared to others, we were in the middle with pricing, but as you start to invest more into features it will get very pricey."

"I don't know the exact costs associated with Aruba Wireless, but I have a rough idea, and it's not too cheap, though it's less costly than Cisco Wireless. Pricing for Aruba Wireless is moderate. It's a three out of five."

"Customers have to pay for perpetual licenses with Aruba controller licenses, depending on the features they are looking for."

"Pricing is very competitive."

"The price of Aruba Wireless could improve. It is expensive. However, I am able to reduce my costs because I do not use all the features in the controller, such as the AD integration and other enterprise features."

"Pricing support has always been cost-effective."

"The price is reasonable."

More Aruba Wireless pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."
