We performed a comparison between Ekahau Site 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."The troubleshooting tools are the most valuable feature of the solution."
"I like that our users can send us a floor map. Sometimes it's not feasible to travel to another country where the users are based. So, the floor map is very useful. It's a fantastic product."
"The most valuable features of the Ekahau Site Survey for us are the combination of using the tool."
"The ability to perform dual-band spectrum analysis while conducting the standard WiFi site survey is a tremendous time saver."
"I have found the most valuable feature is the RF interference and integration capabilities."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"It's easy to plot APs and generate reports."
"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."
"Compared to other tools, iBwave Wi-Fi provides 95% accuracy and generates heatmaps."
"The 3D Coverage is a good feature that shows the signal propagation in three dimensions."
"The stability and feature set of the application are top notch and can't be matched."
"The solution's 3D imaging is amazing."
"It can speed up design."
"Ekahau Site Survey is an expensive solution, and its pricing should be improved."
"The support is an area in need of improvement."
"I wish there were a competitor to keep Ekahau Site Survey's pricing in line, but there's none."
"The information regarding the clients and signal strengths is missing in the Ekahau console."
"It would be better if it provided clear visibility. It would be better if it accommodated large physical sites like a warehouse with a ceiling height of more than twelve to fifteen feet. In such situations, we were unable to provide better coverage."
"Lacks an in-app photo app or a way to upload photos while carrying out an active onsite survey."
"The report generation has room for improvement and is missing small details."
"I wish the solution was better at making different survey modes."
"It would do iBwave well to become more involved with their clients."
"It would be good if we could involve a visual while designing the backhaul."
"I would like to be able to see two buildings at the same time so that you can create a campus view."
"I am currently looking for an alternative due to my reluctance with the reliability of this product."
"The cost of the solution could be improved. It's extraordinarily expensive."
"iBwave Wi-Fi doesn't have a distributor feed platform."
"Areas of improvement would include more functionality in the Mobile App, expanded reporting features, and some shortcut features."
