Executive SummaryUpdated on Oct 31, 2024

Juniper WLC Series and Mojo Networks compete in the wireless network management category. Mojo Networks appears to have the upper hand due to its advanced features and cost-effectiveness, despite Juniper's established performance and scalability.

Mojo Networks provides a cloud-based architecture, strong security features like wireless intrusion prevention system, and comprehensive analytics with Cognitive WiFi.

Room for Improvement: Juniper WLC Series needs better support for modern wireless standards like WPA3, improved traffic monitoring, and enhanced API capabilities. Its setup and compatibility with other products also require enhancement. Mojo Networks could improve by creating a more unified management portal and expanding its API functionalities.

Offers visibility and cost benefits

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.

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 installation process is very easy."

"The installation process is nice and easy."

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

"Juniper WLC Series is a very high-performance device designed for indoor wireless deployment."

"It is a very stable solution."

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

"The AI integration with Marvis is very valuable."

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

More Juniper WLC Series pros

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

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

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

"The security is a valuable feature."

"The most important feature is ease of use. We can simply take an access point and plug it in, then it is automatically configured for us."

"The configuration is simple and the reports can be automated."

"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."

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

More Mojo Networks pros

Cons

"The support on offer to other vendors switching - like Aruba or Ruckus - could be improved."

"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."

"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."

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

"The solution could offer more integration with other products."

"The solution should create configuration documentation."

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

More Juniper WLC Series cons

"The distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world."

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

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

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."

"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."

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

"The product is relatively affordable for enterprise companies."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

"The cost is a one-time fee."

"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."
