We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN 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 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."
"It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys."
"The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"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."
"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."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the stability. It works and doesn't stop."
"The most amazing part is that their Access Points have the ability to connect to multiple conference devices at different times, and it shows you the very in-depth Wi-Fi analytics through their dashboard."
"The most valuable features of Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN are the ease of use and the ability to manage it from the cloud."
"The solution provides good coverage and identity management. Additionally, the user interface is straightforward."
"Multiple access ID capabilities, meshing, and the quality of the product itself are all valuable features."
"It will allow me to integrate another system very quickly, as we continue expanding for our client."
"The automatic VMware update is very useful because you don't have to worry about outages and planning for VMware updates. It is very advantageous from a management point of view. The ability to restrict and review the clients connected to each of our segments. Additionally, the solution is easy to use."
"The solution is fast."
"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface."
"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 user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"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."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"Technical support can be improved, as well as having more detailed capabilities to go without using an API."
"Documentation could be improved, but everything else has been spot-on."
"We'd like to have better mapping to showcase low-coverage areas."
"This solution could benefit from a heat mapping ability so that you can tell where the hotspots are, and where the good signals are."
"They should introduce a grace period of 60 days after license expiry because as it is now, it automatically goes down and there is no grace period."
"The solution should be more secure."
"I would like to see integration with sensors."
"There should be better Spanish-language technical support."
