We performed a comparison between Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN and Ekahau Site Survey based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about HPE Aruba Networking, Cisco, Ruckus and others in Wireless LAN."The most useful feature of Juniper Wireless AP is the reporting Marvis."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"With Mist, every Wednesday they roll out new features."
"The simplicity is great."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"Overall, we've been very pleased with the performance."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"It provides private network access, helping us protect our company’s devices."
"We use the solution's bandwidth shaping, URL filtering, and group policy configuration features."
"The functionalities are quite professional and complete. It offers good integration with other Meraki products, like switches and the firewall. You can get an overview of all networks and the host. It's really great; nobody else can do that."
"It is very stable, very resilient, and very robust."
"This product offers cloud-based configuration, so you can set it up from anywhere."
"I really don't have any problems with the stability of the product."
"It's simple to manage when there's a problem."
"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."
"The captive portal feature is my favorite. It allows us to keep track of how many people are entering our client's businesses."
"The most valuable features of the Ekahau Site Survey for us are the combination of using the tool."
"The solution is user-friendly and it provides a good output that can be measured, and I can describe and pinpoint any inaccuracy shortfalls."
"We are satisfied with the way this product is working."
"The most valuable when it comes to this solution for me is the fact that I don't have to go out and do a site survey. With this solution, I can do it all predictably with the usual 90% accuracy."
"Ekahau Site Survey can be crucial for troubleshooting our Wi-Fi network."
"It is a stable solution."
"There are some survey tools that are a little easier to use, but the benefit of using the Ekahau is that it is very configurable. If you go into a building that has solid cement walls, instead of traditional walls, you can configure it for that. It is much more configurable than the other ones."
"Ekahau lets you create heat maps without doing the initial survey. It makes the task easier."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"They should include SD-WAN features to it."
"Juniper Wireless AP can improve by continually improving its reporting and integration with other systems."
"Enrolling into the tool is a tedious process."
"Improvement is needed in the user-friendliness of Juniper Mist, particularly in enhancing the interaction with AI features."
"The price could be better."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"It would be better if they enable full integration with Cisco's cloud-based network in the next release."
"The only thing that always causes problems with Meraki is the license. It's a bit of a bugbear with Meraki, and it remains today. So it's an unusual concept compared to the other products in the marketplace, but then it does cause a bit of a nuisance from time to time."
"We haven't had any issues with the solution. We like the way it works. There isn't anything I can think of that makes me worry that it might be lacking in a certain area."
"There should be better Spanish-language technical support."
"I would like to see Cisco Meraki improve the accessibility by region level here in Latin America."
"If you lose connectivity with the controller, your Wi-Fi network is immediately impacted."
"Licensing is, in my opinion, the least appealing component. It can be difficult to keep licenses up to date in order for the system to function properly."
"The commercial version of the solution could be cheaper."
"I find the power button hard to access with just one hand."
"Its migration and visualization features need improvement."
"Most features are there, but the network adapter support should be better. Ekahau should support all laptops and versions. There's an issue with the driver too."
"The support is an area in need of improvement."
"Sometimes there is a cancellation between two signals that the solution is not able to monitor correctly, this could improve in the future."
"I would say that the indoor site accuracy is pretty good but the outdoor one should be improved. I would say if there was a way to put trees in there and canopies, that would be great."
"In all of our buildings, whenever we deploy wireless access points, we also have to deploy wireless intrusion detections. The Ekahau Site Survey tool doesn't allow us to differentiate between the access point and the intrusion detection device. That's because they're the same devices, but they're configured differently for the type of usage. That's one area that I would ask them to improve. They should allow the identification of access points versus wireless intrusion detection."
"Ekahau Site Survey is an expensive solution, and its pricing should be improved."
