What is our primary use case?

We are service providers and we implement service solutions for our clients. It's for office and workspace environments.

What is most valuable?

Mojo Networks offers many features. The features that I like the most are the visibility and the firewall, which is very good.

The navigator on the cloud interface is simple, and the installation is simple and straightforward as well.

The most important thing for us is the visibility in our applications.

What needs improvement?

The distribution can be improved, particularly in this part of the world. I would say that it is not on point.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This solution is stable and we have not experienced any issues.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is excellent.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, we have used Cisco. Cisco is more expensive and with Mojo, the interface is simple. The information is quick and in terms of configuration and troubleshooting, Mojo is easier.

I think that Mojo, Aerohive, and Extreme are the ones we primarily use.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is simple and straightforward.

To deploy and set up an AP takes less than five minutes, regardless of the location. It's simple on the cloud interface.

What about the implementation team?

Maintenance and support are things that we generally do ourselves. If it something beyond us then we have to contact the support team.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We have a term that is renewed every three years.

What other advice do I have?

At certain points, there are hardware updates and they send notifications before they do the updates.

I would recommend this solution to anyone who is interested in using it. I would suggest using Mojo before Cisco.

They have a firewall, web content filtering, and they have the HEP services. From a technical aspect, this is a good product.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

Easy initial setup, scalable, and stable
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the seamless connection between the end-user on the wireless side."
  • "I would like to have a single pane of glass to better control the access point and the switching."

What is our primary use case?

We are using the solution for the wireless network for additional devices. This is a distributed system, not a centralized system such as Aruba which depends on the wireless manager. The solution depends on the AP, not on the wireless manager. Mojo Networks is a distributed system. The wireless manager is just the managing plan, not the data plan for Mojo Networks. We are using the wireless network, not the switching site. Mojo Networks is the data center on the switching side.

What is most valuable?

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

What needs improvement?

The solution has room to improve the integration with Wi-Fi six devices which have limited availability on the market. 

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

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for 15 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I give the stability an eight out of ten.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I give the scalability a nine out of ten.

We have around 1,000 people using the solution.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is great.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

The implementation was completed in-house.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

I give the price an eight out of ten.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We evaluated Aruba and Cisco systems.

What other advice do I have?

I give the solution a nine out of ten.

The maintenance of the solution requires around 15 people.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Simple to use with good stability and scalability
Pros and Cons
  • "The stability of the solution has been good. We haven't had any issues."
  • "The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco."

What is our primary use case?

We're project managers. We get a request from a customer, and, per their request, we deploy the solution. We have an 800 or 8000 router that is used and we pair the modem with this.

What is most valuable?

The solution is always easy to use and deploy. The ease of use is one of the main reasons clients are moving from Cisco to Arista.

What needs improvement?

I'm not a technical person, so I can't speak to areas of improvement. We're also in the initial phase of deployment and therefore haven't used the solution for too long.

For how long have I used the solution?

This is only the second or third project in which we have used this solution.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the solution has been good. We haven't had any issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The scalability is good and is even more scalable than Cisco. The router they send across is quite large.

How are customer service and technical support?

We've reached out to technical support in the past and have been satisfied with their level of service. They're very quick to respond and very knowledgeable about the product.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We've also used Cisco. The main difference between the two is simplicity.

Mojo has less hardware and has and easy deployment. It's highly scalable as well. Plus, they make it easy to resolve issues. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is straightforward. It takes about an hour to deploy. However, if a user has a larger site it might take longer. It is definitely faster than Cisco in terms of deployment times.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution is a bit pricier than Cisco.

What other advice do I have?

We use the on-premises deployment model. 

In terms of advice I'd share with others, I'd say that when deploying, teams should ensure they have technicians to help.

I'd rate the solution eight out of ten. We're still new to the solution and need time to explore it fully.

Built-in guest analytics, portal features, enable customization of guest experience
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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”."

What is our primary use case?

Restaurant wireless networks (private and guest hotspots).

How has it helped my organization?

Added significant value for our MSP customers.

What is most valuable?

Extremely proficient technology with excellent analytics and guest WiFi features.

We sell to enterprise customers who, in recent years, are leveraging wireless for mobile tablets, IoT devices and robust guest WiFi. The Mojo has proved to handle these high-density requirements and perform better than many competitive devices. Additionally, 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.

What needs improvement?

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”.

For how long have I used the solution?

One to three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

No issues with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

No issues with scalability.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support has been responsive when needed.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We were looking for a viable controller-less solution with good security and guest hotspot features. Mojo offers significant performance and value.

How was the initial setup?

As expected, this product offers touchless provisioning. It also includes RF planning tools.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We looked at similar solutions from Meraki and Aerohive but found Mojo performed significantly better and offered significant value to our customers.

What other advice do I have?

Seriously consider the tri-radio APs, as the client testing features are critical in environments where there is no onsite IT staff.

Straightforward setup but lacks the ability to quickly see any issues on the network
Pros and Cons
  • "Initial setup was straightforward."
  • "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."

What is our primary use case?

Our primary use case is for guests and corporate WiFi. The solution is deployed on-premise in our three offices.

What is most valuable?

Its value is that it provides WiFi for our guests and corporate.

What needs improvement?

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.

An additional feature would be the ability to have better insights to see who's connected from a mobile device.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for 11 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Stability is good. However, it's slow. We have about 24 devices across all three offices. We don't require any kind of staff for deployment and maintenance.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is pretty good.

How was the initial setup?

Initial setup was straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

We used a third-party for deployment and implementation.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The cost is a one-time fee.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We are currently looking to switch over to a different wireless LAN solution.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution 5 out of 10. My advice is to just make sure it's reliable and offers the security that you need.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

On-premises

Secure built-in wireless, stable, scalable, and has the best support
Pros and Cons
  • "Mojo Networks (Arista WiFi) is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless."
  • "The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive."

What is our primary use case?

Arista Wifi (Mojo) is a very security-centric Wi-Fi solution that is highly scalable. 

How has it helped my organization?

I was an employee there, so this question doesn't apply.

What is most valuable?

Mojo now has been procured by Arista. Arista Wi-Fi is extremely secure with WIPS, built-in wireless. d

What needs improvement?

The renewal costs that come with it are very expensive.

Price is the only area that needs improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I was in a technology commercial role. I worked in Mojo support for five years and another six years as a part of the sales team.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Mojo Networks (Arista) is a stable solution. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It's a scalable product.

I have deployed it right from an SMB to an extra-large enterprise. The largest deployment I've seen is approximately 200,000 devices.

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is one of the best that you could come across.

There is no need for improvement with technical support.

How was the initial setup?

The installation is easy, it is absolutely plug-and-play.

You don't need an expert to install it, any layman could easily do the installation.

200,000 devices were managed by a team of eight.

What about the implementation team?

I implemented the solution myself as well as through partners

What was our ROI?

Arista Wifi (Mojo) is highly scalable with a single pane of glass for management. Troubleshooting capabilities and deep insights are praise worthy. Overall this means a reduced management efforts. This in itself helps you achieve a great ROI.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It's a very costly solution, but someone who values security would definitely look up to Mojo Networks (Arista Wi-Fi).

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

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

After using Mojo, I have evaluated HP Aruba. It was a really nice solution as well. They offer a lot of flexibility when it comes to deployment architecture. Depending upon the size of your network, you could choose different options. They have an instant DP, functionality or, architecture that becomes economical because it doesn't require a special controller.

At the same time, if you are deploying a large network, they have hardware controllers as well. 

The only flipside for them is lack of functionality in Cloud managed wifi front. What I have seen is that the cloud-based Aruba Wi-Fi is not exactly as one would expect cloud Wi-Fi to be. I have seen Mist, which is now Juniper Mist, Cisco Meraki, and Arista Mojo, and when compared to the cloud offering of these competitors, it is the clinch in armor for Aruba. 

However, the lifetime warranty that they offer makes their devices very attractive.

It's moderately priced, and at the same time, it offers a lifetime warranty, which makes it a preferred solution.

What other advice do I have?

On a technical level, I would rate this solution a 10 out of 10. But from the cost perspective, I would have to reduce the rating. 

I would rate Mojo Networks an eight out of ten.

Scales well and offers good security with very good stability
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is very stable."
  • "The implementation could be simplified. Right now it's a bit complex."

What is most valuable?

The security is the most valuable aspect of the solution.

The solution is very stable.

The product scales well.

What needs improvement?

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

Technical support could be more helpful. They are lacking a bit in that regard.

I can't think of any specific features the solution is lacking at the moment. It's pretty well-rounded as a product.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for almost two and a half years at this point.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is very stable. We don't face any issues with its performance. It doesn't crash. There's no freezing. I don't recall bugs or glitches. It's reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution scales well. If a company needs to scale the solution to suit the changing needs of their organization, they should be able to do so quite easily.

We tend to deal with a lot of enterprise-level clients, so the solution itself gets quite large.

How are customer service and technical support?

While technical support is good, they could still improve upon their services.

How was the initial setup?

The difficulty of the initial implementation varies. For AP installations, for example, it's bulkier and more on the side of complexity. Therefore, setups aren't always the most straightforward.

What other advice do I have?

We are partners. We have a business relationship with the product.

I'm more on the client-side. On a large scale, we tend to support a corporate network.

I'd recommend the solution.

Overall, I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. It does everything we need it to do, and it scales well. it's stable and offers good security. If technical support was better or if the implementation could be simplified, I'd give it full points.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
