We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Aruba Wireless based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Ekahau, NetAlly, iBwave and others in Network Modeling and Simulation."The addition of the AirMapper software on the nXG and our AirCheck G2s has helped a lot because we're mostly not drilling down into the data. Local managers only need to see the coverage on their end and whether there are performance bottlenecks. These things are easy enough for us to ascertain with iPerf."
"Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps."
"Customer service is great."
"The most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting."
"The benefit is with the ease of use of the software, I am able to show the customer, "Here is what your wireless coverage looks like." It is set up in a fashion that non-technical people can understand it."
"The cost is pretty good. It's what draws in the clients."
"The main features of Aruba Wireless in my country is its popularity, long hardware warranty when compared to other solutions, and it integrates well with our network access control solution."
"The coverage, concurrent user life, and visualization are the most valuable features of these solutions."
"The product improved overall scalability and simplicity in configuring and replacing. The use of an Aruba Controller to configure multiple APs was game-changing."
"AirWave is a valuable feature."
"We were able to increase capacity very easily."
"We like the centralized configuration and monitoring."
"When support is needed, the Aruba engineers are normally quick to respond to problems."
"It would be nice to have some more training resources for younger techs. We can use them if we need some assistance, but that usually requires one of us who knows what we're doing to calibrate the programs properly."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful."
"It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money."
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"Better integration between the controller and the ClearPass portal would be a nice change."
"The initial setup is more complex than other solutions."
"They should simplify the configuration flow."
"They need to increase the number of routers on the controller."
"The pricing could always be better."
"The Aruba Central cloud portal needs a lot of work. It is complicated to navigate."
"I would like to see a faster web interface in the controller and more troubleshooting tools, including real-time troubleshooting tools."
"There were some settings which were confusing and unlabeled when trying to use the online help with the newer firmware."
