We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Aruba 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."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."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in."
"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."
"I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys."
"Basic initial setup is very easy when it comes to a new user on-premise."
"For my organization, the most critical feature of Aruba Wireless is guest management."
"This is the second time I've implemented and installed this solution and I think it is outstanding. The support is excellent and so is the hardware. We don't need much support because nothing really goes wrong."
"We appreciate the integration options that are available."
"The stability is the best. It's very reliable."
"The biggest selling point was the ability to create two different SSIDs to control public versus private wireless networks."
"It is easy to install and deploy."
"It delivers constantly, there is no break in the internet using these devices. It also automatically gets connected when the internet comes back. Failure is very low."
"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."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"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."
"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."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"The solution's GUI for configuration could be better."
"Our customers ask for a security portfolio, which the tool doesn't have."
"Lacks a heat map analysis and a cloud-based wireless controller."
"A lot of the access point commands are in the command line interface, versus being in the GUI."
"I would like to see a faster web interface in the controller and more troubleshooting tools, including real-time troubleshooting tools."
"The pricing could always be better."
"I believe it would benefit from more reporting, other than just a dashboard. It needs some type of report builder so you can have PDFs to show upper management what is going on in the wireless network."
"The bad things about the product are the price, the information about the product, and the time it takes to deliver the product."
