The reason we switched is because our old solution was horrible. It didn't work. The product didn't work. All the tickets that we were having just caused more issues and problems. It just wasn't a good solution. The cost was a lot more, I don't know percentage, but it was over six figures more. So the cost was more, the product was not as good. The feature sets were limited. And really, it failed in every category.

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. 

I have used Fortinet previously. We actually migrated from Fortinet to Aruba to Arista Mojo. We switched because we just found that the Mojo was a lot more user-friendly. It was definitely faster and it had better troubleshooting abilities.

The big reason we switched was the older product that we had was five or six years old, so it was time to be replaced with newer technology. The reason that we did not go with that company's new equipment was that it did not provide us any visibility or data as far as what was going on in the network. The old product only gave us the top five users for the last 24 hours. That was all the performance that we could see.

The ability to drill down into each user, device, and application that Mojo provides is far better for seeing what the network is being used for and where the bottlenecks may be.

The biggest reason for our switch in 2014 was the cloud-based portion of it. It was controllerless. There was no WiFi controller nor separate hardware. We were previously working a lot with Juniper Networks WiFi, and other vendors here and there. 

The cloud-based WiFi was a big deal, to not need controllers, nor extra hardware. They were about the first to do it. It was game changing to know about this option back in 2014 when they were still called AirTight Networks.

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.

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