We performed a comparison between Ekahau Site Survey and iBwave Wi-Fi based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Modeling and Simulation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's easy to plot APs and generate reports."
"The planning feature is useful because it's very affordable."
"The ability to perform dual-band spectrum analysis while conducting the standard WiFi site survey is a tremendous time saver."
"Ekahau Site Survey is an easy and accurate solution."
"The most valuable feature of Ekahau Site Survey is the predictive survey."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable features of the Ekahau Site Survey for us are the combination of using the tool."
"Ekahau Site Survey can be crucial for troubleshooting our Wi-Fi network."
"The solution's 3D imaging is amazing."
"The stability and feature set of the application are top notch and can't be matched."
"The 3D Coverage is a good feature that shows the signal propagation in three dimensions."
"I find the high-quality Heatmap generation, multi-floor, and wire mapping features to be most valuable."
"iBwave Wi-Fi's tech support is great. They pick up their phones. I have no complaints."
"Compared to other tools, iBwave Wi-Fi provides 95% accuracy and generates heatmaps."
"It can speed up design."
"Ekahau Site Survey is an expensive solution, and its pricing should be improved."
"It would be better if it provided clear visibility. It would be better if it accommodated large physical sites like a warehouse with a ceiling height of more than twelve to fifteen feet. In such situations, we were unable to provide better coverage."
"Ekahau would benefit by making improvements to lag time."
"I find the power button hard to access with just one hand."
"I wish there were a competitor to keep Ekahau Site Survey's pricing in line, but there's none."
"In all of our buildings, whenever we deploy wireless access points, we also have to deploy wireless intrusion detections. The Ekahau Site Survey tool doesn't allow us to differentiate between the access point and the intrusion detection device. That's because they're the same devices, but they're configured differently for the type of usage. That's one area that I would ask them to improve. They should allow the identification of access points versus wireless intrusion detection."
"Lacks an in-app photo app or a way to upload photos while carrying out an active onsite survey."
"Our CTO was not real happy with their support."
"The cost of the solution could be improved. It's extraordinarily expensive."
"Areas of improvement would include more functionality in the Mobile App, expanded reporting features, and some shortcut features."
"iBwave Wi-Fi doesn't have a distributor feed platform."
"I would like to be able to see two buildings at the same time so that you can create a campus view."
"It would do iBwave well to become more involved with their clients."
"It would be good if we could involve a visual while designing the backhaul."
"I am currently looking for an alternative due to my reluctance with the reliability of this product."
