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.

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.

A solution that offers excellent support and makes it easy to manage networks

To utilize the solution properly, you need some training and guidance on that. Getting it working is easy, but if you're going to use it with feature sets that make WatchGuard worthwhile to use, it's probably not the easiest to set up. I'd rate the initial setup a seven out of ten. The time taken to deploy the solution depends on the project scope you're doing. Do you need ten WiFi access points or one? You could deploy the solution in an hour. We need one person to deploy the solution. But the number of people required for deployment depends on where the access points are deployed. Like, if it's the ceiling or whatever. The way we do it, we usually have an on-site technician who sets up the backend. We usually have two people when deploying the solution, but you can do it with one person. We have a team that manages the solution. But if you have ten people on a site to manage the solution, 15 minutes daily is enough.

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."

"The product is quite user-friendly and easy to deploy, so one should definitely consider buying it."

"The simplicity is great."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."

"It's well-detailed in terms of troubleshooting logs."

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

"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."

"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."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pros

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

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

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

"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."

"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 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 security is a valuable feature."

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

More Mojo Networks pros

"It makes it easy to obtain all information about the client experience."

"Cloud analytics that provide all its attributes."

"The Wi-Fi security features of this solution have been great for our customers who need to strictly control access to their network."

"We like that WatchGuard works and integrates directly with the firewalls we use."

"The solution has been stable."

"They're very easy to set up and get running."

Cons

"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."

"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."

"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."

"Juniper should make the products more affordable."

"They should include SD-WAN features to it."

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

"The solution is expensive."

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

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points cons

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

"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 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 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."

"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

"If a client device had issues with authentication due to out of date browser or similar difficulties, it would be nice to have the ability to migrate the client onto the portal via one click."

"Inability to import a user with one click."

"I don't think they're available at the best price."

"One of the things is if you buy it with a certain subscription, you can't easily change the subscription level."

"The solution can be scaled but it has limitations from my experience."

"The price of this solution needs to reviewed, as it is currently high enough to deter customers from trying it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

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

"We pay maybe 1000 SEK per year, per access point."

"The pricing is fair."

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

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

"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 pricing is too high."

More Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

More Mojo Networks pricing and cost advice

"Your licensing and cost, as would be required for many other solutions, being considered for eighty to two hundred and eighty different physical locations, is just about the same amount per access point."

"The solution is priced high compared to competitors. However, for the features that are included in the solution, the price becomes more reasonable."

"WatchGuard is on the upper scale for pricing."
