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."I have found the most valuable feature is the RF interference and integration capabilities."
"Ekahau lets you create heat maps without doing the initial survey. It makes the task easier."
"Channel planning, access points' auto position, and the size of the spectrum are valuable to me."
"I like Ekahau's interface and the reports it can generate."
"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."
"The solution is user-friendly and it provides a good output that can be measured, and I can describe and pinpoint any inaccuracy shortfalls."
"It's easy to plot APs and generate reports."
"It is a stable solution."
"The stability and feature set of the application are top notch and can't be matched."
"I find the high-quality Heatmap generation, multi-floor, and wire mapping features to be most valuable."
"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."
"It can speed up design."
"iBwave Wi-Fi's tech support is great. They pick up their phones. I have no complaints."
"The solution's 3D imaging is amazing."
"The only issue is the price. The overall price is a bit high, especially compared to our other vendor. Ekahau is considered expensive."
"Ekahau would benefit by making improvements to lag time."
"Most features are there, but the network adapter support should be better. Ekahau should support all laptops and versions. There's an issue with the driver too."
"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."
"I wish the solution was better at making different survey modes."
"I wish there were a competitor to keep Ekahau Site Survey's pricing in line, but there's none."
"They should improve the iPad application because it's unstable. Also, Ekahau could be better integrated with other vendors."
"Ekahau Site Survey is an expensive solution, and its pricing should be improved."
"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."
"The cost of the solution could be improved. It's extraordinarily expensive."
"Areas of improvement would include more functionality in the Mobile App, expanded reporting features, and some shortcut features."
"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."
"iBwave Wi-Fi doesn't have a distributor feed platform."
Ekahau Site Survey is ranked 1st in Network Modeling and Simulation with 32 reviews while iBwave Wi-Fi is ranked 3rd in Network Modeling and Simulation with 11 reviews. Ekahau Site Survey is rated 8.8, while iBwave Wi-Fi is rated 8.8. The top reviewer of Ekahau Site Survey writes "Valuable troubleshooting tools and easy to scale, but outdated documentation, issues with stability, and lacks differentiated survey modes". On the other hand, the top reviewer of iBwave Wi-Fi writes "Feature-rich, excellent tool". Ekahau Site Survey is most compared with AirMagnet Survey, Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN and RedSeal, whereas iBwave Wi-Fi is most compared with AirMagnet Survey, RedSeal and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN.
