We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Ruckus 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 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."
"Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in."
"It is reliable and easy to use (user-friendly). The heat mapping, passive network surveying, and doing the heat mapping of a building's wireless network allows me to see what level of coverage an area has."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"The heat maps are quite good, and some features are easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting."
"I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"The controller is most valuable. Through Ruckus ZoneDirector, we can easily manage the websites and the web."
"The most valuable feature is the portal."
"Stability has been very good. It is reliable."
"We rarely had access points fail in the field. They were rock solid, durable, and had the best signal penetration from any we tested."
"One of the most valuable features I appreciate is auto channelization, facilitated by a proprietary product called ChannelFly."
"The most valuable feature is that Ruckus offers better coverage."
"The solution has many innovative features."
"The biggest advantages of Ruckus Wireless are pricing and support."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"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."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"Printouts are JPEG printouts. The AirMagnet software is proprietary. I can't send my customers a file, because it is AirMagnet file, even for building projects. I can only send JPEGs or screenshots of heat maps."
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"The delivery time of the hardware needs to be improved."
"Wi-Fi 6E and the cloud are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"The pricing needs to be more clear and licensing could be less expensive."
"Some customers have issues with the price because it's more expensive than Ubiquiti, but they can accept the cost because it's reliable and has more features."
"Lacks some analytics features in the control itself."
"In my company, we still has to do some manual calculations on where we should set the access points, which is a time-consuming process as there were no automatic setup functions provided by the tool."
"The cost could be slightly improved. It's not on the low end, and it's not in the high end. It's in that middle area, which can be a deciding factor between someone going with this solution versus another one."
"The pricing is okay, however, it could be a bit lower."
