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 AI capabilities of Mist Wireless are superior to other OEMs."
"The simplicity is great."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is Marvis, the AI-driven network management system."
"The most valuable feature of Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) is the ability to troubleshoot ports on the network. Additionally, when there is an update on the APs they are able to reboot quickly reducing downtime. Other solutions have a longer downtime when updates are done."
"In terms of reporting, in terms of all the user reports, it's very rich."
"The solution is pretty generic and easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"The artificial intelligence feature is very good."
"It is very stable, very resilient, and very robust."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The cloud manageability feature is valuable."
"The monitoring device enables you to see the network health."
"The network security the solution provides is its most valuable aspect."
"The solution is easily scalable. There are not really any limits for the customer in terms of expanding if they need to."
"It is cloud-based. You can manage it remotely from anywhere in the world, and you don't have to be on-site, which is a very big advantage."
"The most valuable features in Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN are that we were able to see all the registered users for each particular WAP, which is a big help. The roaming allows us to have continuous wireless throughout the building. The signal can carry over from one WAP to another. Which is probably the most important feature."
"The most valuable feature of Ekahau Site Survey is the predictive survey."
"Ekahau Site Survey is user-friendly."
"The troubleshooting tools are the most valuable feature of the solution."
"The solution is user-friendly and it provides a good output that can be measured, and I can describe and pinpoint any inaccuracy shortfalls."
"Ekahau lets you create heat maps without doing the initial survey. It makes the task easier."
"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."
"I like Ekahau's interface and the reports it can generate."
"We reviewed the maps as a team and determined if any changes needed to be made or if we could just replace APs as they are. We got into this by upgrading our access points to Meraki, and we wanted to make sure that we weren't leaving trouble behind us as we were doing it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of support and installation."
"Juniper Wireless Access Points (AP Series) could improve if the MIST platform had a built-in master key. This would be an advantage."
"The price could be better."
"The product should include adaptive Wi-Fi to show a more accurate location."
"Improving third-party integration is key for Juniper Mist's next release."
"If you want to do more specific stuff, it's a bit limited."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is very high in the Indian market."
"Its price could be improved."
"We have used technical support for some issues but not many times."
"The licensing isn't very customer-centric. They may have improved it, but previously, if you forgot to pay on a certain day, your service would be shut off."
"Integration with the corporate LAN where Catalyst products are installed is a major challenge."
"Despite being enabled, I've encountered an issue where the alert main dashboard fails to detect when any of the devices go down. Hence, the tool's notification feature should improve. We have also faced issues with integration."
"In the next release, I would like to see a third-party high tech center to connect multiple users to a particular network."
"Unfortunately, we have to deal with European privacy laws and as far as we can see, the solution is not compliant with these. It's why we're not able to continue with Cisco Meraki. They need to become compliant with GDPR laws."
"Its pricing could be better."
"The new Sidekick is going to support Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E."
"They should improve the iPad application because it's unstable. Also, Ekahau could be better integrated with other vendors."
"I am having problems importing maps to Ekahau Site Survey. Importing is one of the first steps in using the solution and it is getting stuck. The problem could be that our maps are large with many layers."
"The information regarding the clients and signal strengths is missing in the Ekahau console."
"Ekahau Site Survey is an expensive solution, and its pricing should be improved."
"I find the power button hard to access with just one hand."
"Our CTO was not real happy with their support."
"Lacks an in-app photo app or a way to upload photos while carrying out an active onsite survey."
