We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Cisco 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 predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"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."
"Customer service is great."
"I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"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 most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its security"
"This product has a long life and you don't have any issues with it."
"It is a reliable and robust solution. Access and Mobility Groups are useful. We don't use anything very fancy."
"It's a reliable solution."
"The installation process is very easy."
"The product is compatible with a lot of mobile devices."
"The CleanAir features and the fast transition."
"We are using Cisco access point 2802, and they are very reliable."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"The user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate."
"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."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money."
"The coverage area of Cisco Wireless could improve. Additionally, the reports when a problem arises could be better, such as how it is done in Aruba Wireless solutions. In the Aruba wireless solutions, there are reports that are provided regarding uploads, downloads, and other internet activity that are useful. If this feature was added to Cisco that would be a benefit."
"The internet speed is high within environments. As you move further away from the access point, there is a decline in speed. Omada or Ruckus don’t have the speed degradation as you move away from the access point."
"The pricing of Brazil is very expensive. When you look at other options, they are much cheaper."
"Improvements can be made to the telemetry. The licensing gets in the way here. It makes it impossible to record the different flows across the wireless network."
"We've recently had hardware issues which have caused us some problems."
"In Latin America, Cisco is very expensive in comparison to other technologies."
"It's expensive."
"They should introduce zero interference capabilities."
AirMagnet Survey is ranked 2nd in Network Modeling and Simulation with 38 reviews while Cisco Wireless is ranked 2nd in Wireless LAN with 146 reviews.
