Pros
"I find the high-quality Heatmap generation, multi-floor, and wire mapping features to be most valuable.""It can speed up design.""Compared to other tools, iBwave Wi-Fi provides 95% accuracy and generates heatmaps.""The stability and feature set of the application are top notch and can't be matched.""The solution's 3D imaging is amazing.""The 3D Coverage is a good feature that shows the signal propagation in three dimensions.""iBwave Wi-Fi's tech support is great. They pick up their phones. I have no complaints."

More iBwave Wi-Fi Pros →

"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration.""This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score.""RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."

Cons
"Areas of improvement would include more functionality in the Mobile App, expanded reporting features, and some shortcut features.""It would be good if we could involve a visual while designing the backhaul.""iBwave Wi-Fi doesn't have a distributor feed platform.""The cost of the solution could be improved. It's extraordinarily expensive.""I am currently looking for an alternative due to my reluctance with the reliability of this product.""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 dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do.""One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency.""Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."
