We performed a comparison between AirMagnet 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."Clear and easy to use maps."
"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."
"It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys."
"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."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"Customer service is great."
"I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"It can speed up design."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to other tools, iBwave Wi-Fi provides 95% accuracy and generates heatmaps."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"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."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"The user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate."
"It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money."
"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."
"The cost of the solution could be improved. It's extraordinarily expensive."
"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."
"I am currently looking for an alternative due to my reluctance with the reliability of this product."
"Areas of improvement would include more functionality in the Mobile App, expanded reporting features, and some shortcut features."
"It would be good if we could involve a visual while designing the backhaul."
"iBwave Wi-Fi doesn't have a distributor feed platform."
AirMagnet Survey is ranked 2nd in Network Modeling and Simulation with 38 reviews while iBwave Wi-Fi is ranked 3rd in Network Modeling and Simulation with 11 reviews. AirMagnet Survey is rated 8.2, while iBwave Wi-Fi is rated 8.8. 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 iBwave Wi-Fi writes "Feature-rich, excellent tool". AirMagnet Survey is most compared with Ekahau Site Survey, Aruba Wireless, AirCheck G3, Ubiquiti WLAN and Wireshark, whereas iBwave Wi-Fi is most compared with Ekahau Site Survey, RedSeal and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN.
