We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Huawei 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."I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"The most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting."
"The heat maps are quite good, and some features are easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It can scale."
"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"All of the features are valuable in Huawei Wireless."
"The reliability has had a positive impact on our operations."
"You can add a lot of features, such as cloud, integration with IoT, etc. They have a lot of options available but the top feature is the performance."
"Huawei Wireless's most valuable feature is smart antenna, a combination of informative capabilities and advanced technology."
"That would be more of engineering at this point. I'm from more of the business side. It's pretty much doing the standard installations with portal integrations and integrations with the Mac."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful."
"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."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."
"They should include more security features in the solution."
"I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."
"There could be a console port for demonstration or configuration purposes."
"This solution has issues with bugs and instability."
"There was one time I had a problem with their centralized licensing. I called the Indian call center, but the response was not that good. One guy attended this call and he told me, "Definitely, I am forwarding your call to the next level. I'll let you know." After that, it took between 10 to 15 hours before I got a call back. By then, we had already resolved the issue. Therefore, they could improve the local support; there should be at very good Tier 1 and 2 support in India. They should be both proactive and reactive."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."
"I have encountered connectivity issues with the tool. I am not sure if it is due to Wi-Fi inference. I would like the solution to include some marketing analytics features like evaluation of user behavior."
