We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN 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 predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"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."
"I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"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."
"It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys."
"Customer service is great."
"The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps."
"The solution is very stable. It is a very manageable and secure system."
"Provided reliability and a good price."
"The tool's most valuable feature is report generation. Its dashboard helps me a lot with user analytics."
"Cloud management, wireless infrastructure, and implementation are all valuable features."
"I can control any number of sites globally with a lean IT team."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of deployment."
"The solution has worked very well in our campus environment."
"The ability to manage it remotely is the most valuable. If it has an internet connection, you can get to it. It is a great product for remote clinics. We kind of thought about doing this kind of standalone technology. Meraki is easy to manage. From a management perspective, it is the easiest to use, especially in the cloud. I like Meraki. I even have it in my home."
"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."
"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 user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"When it comes to switching, Meraki lacks categories of features."
"The only concern is when the license has expired and it will no longer function, the entire network goes down, without any notification, or warning."
"It is not a very stable solution."
"The customization needs to be improved because it's pretty locked down."
"There is a processing limitation when you have multiple SSIDs, above three or four."
"In the next release, I would like to see a third-party high tech center to connect multiple users to a particular network."
"Cisco offers pretty expensive devices."
"The solution should be more secure."
AirMagnet Survey is ranked 2nd in Network Modeling and Simulation with 38 reviews while Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is ranked 4th in Wireless LAN with 115 reviews. AirMagnet Survey is rated 8.2, while Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is rated 8.2. The top reviewer of AirMagnet Survey writes "It fixes so many problems quickly that we don't regret spending more on high-end tools than most companies". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN writes "Offers good mobility, stability and scalability ". AirMagnet Survey is most compared with Ekahau Site Survey, Aruba Wireless, AirCheck G3, iBwave Wi-Fi and NetAlly EtherScope nXG, whereas Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN is most compared with Aruba Wireless, Juniper Mist Wireless Access Points, Ruckus Wireless, Ubiquiti Wireless and Mist AI and Cloud.
