We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Ubiquiti WLAN 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 addition of the AirMapper software on the nXG and our AirCheck G2s has helped a lot because we're mostly not drilling down into the data. Local managers only need to see the coverage on their end and whether there are performance bottlenecks. These things are easy enough for us to ascertain with iPerf."
"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."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps."
"Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"The tool's deployment is very easy. The deployment of 15 access points can take a day."
"Great management interface."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend."
"Its most valuable feature is pricing."
"The solution has a lot of great features."
"The solution works well and in the short time I have used it, I've enjoyed its capabilities."
"You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."
"When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful."
"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 surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"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 throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"The user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate."
"The solution should improve stability."
"The coverage could be increased."
"The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"Ubiquiti lacks troubleshooting tools. For example, there aren't tools that your clients can use to gather input on the AP itself. There's no visibility in the application layer or reporting. It doesn't have a lot of management features."
"Cloud management is one feature that should be included in the next release. This tool is best suited for small environments, not large and complex ones."
"The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support."
"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better."
AirMagnet Survey is ranked 2nd in Network Modeling and Simulation with 38 reviews while Ubiquiti WLAN is ranked 5th in Wireless LAN with 39 reviews. AirMagnet Survey is rated 8.2, while Ubiquiti WLAN is rated 7.4. 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 Ubiquiti WLAN writes "Helps to build VPNs but improvement is needed in stability ". AirMagnet Survey is most compared with Ekahau Site Survey, Aruba Wireless, AirCheck G3, iBwave Wi-Fi and Wireshark, whereas Ubiquiti WLAN is most compared with Aruba Wireless, Cisco Wireless, Ruckus Wireless, Huawei Wireless and SonicWall SonicWave Access Points.
