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."I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"The heat maps are quite good, and some features are easy to use."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"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."
"Customer service is great."
"It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys."
"The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps."
"The solution's 3D imaging is amazing."
"It can speed up design."
"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."
"iBwave Wi-Fi's tech support is great. They pick up their phones. I have no complaints."
"I find the high-quality Heatmap generation, multi-floor, and wire mapping features to be most valuable."
"The stability and feature set of the application are top notch and can't be matched."
"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."
"When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful."
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"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."
"Areas of improvement would include more functionality in the Mobile App, expanded reporting features, and some shortcut features."
"iBwave Wi-Fi doesn't have a distributor feed platform."
"I am currently looking for an alternative due to my reluctance with the reliability of this product."
"It would be good if we could involve a visual while designing the backhaul."
"It would do iBwave well to become more involved with their clients."
"I would like to be able to see two buildings at the same time so that you can create a campus view."
"The cost of the solution could be improved. It's extraordinarily expensive."
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 Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN, whereas iBwave Wi-Fi is most compared with Ekahau Site Survey, RedSeal and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN.
