We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Ruckus 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."I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps."
"The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"Customer service is great."
"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."
"Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"The most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting."
"Ruckus WAPs have excellent coverage and their beamforming means that we can cover more area with fewer WAPs."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Once we got it set up and configured we've had little issues and it's been relatively stable. We use it across all seven of our offices and they all have the exact same wifi setup so when I go into any office I can get on the network and access resources."
"It's reliable wireless equipment."
"Key features are integrated WiFi client performance tools, sophisticated user access controls, and easy and understandable controls and interfaces."
"Tremendous throughput and easy installation, configuration, and monitoring."
"It's very scalable."
"It has one of the smoothest operations."
"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."
"The user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate."
"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."
"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."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"Ruckus is a bad solution in general. It's pretty old and outdated."
"The interface should be mobile friendly."
"They can improve the cloud portion. Other vendors have a cloud controller, and they can provide the same so that we can see everything."
"Its interface could be a little bit more user friendly."
"The switching could be improved. The active component requires a data center. Cisco and HPE have a complete solution for data centers. Ruckus has a core solution, but the data center aspect needs to be improved."
"The solution is sensitive with reference to power fluctuations. This sensitivity should be improved. Additionally, the solution should have more security features integrated."
"The solution's pricing could be cheaper."
"Sometimes doing mass changes on their products can be challenging."
