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."It's easy to plot APs and generate reports."
"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."
"Ekahau Site Survey is scalable."
"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."
"The ability to perform dual-band spectrum analysis while conducting the standard WiFi site survey is a tremendous time saver."
"The troubleshooting tools are the most valuable feature of the solution."
"Ekahau Site Survey is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Ekahau Site Survey is the predictive survey."
"The 3D Coverage is a good feature that shows the signal propagation in three dimensions."
"It can speed up design."
"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."
"iBwave Wi-Fi's tech support is great. They pick up their phones. I have no complaints."
"The stability and feature set of the application are top notch and can't be matched."
"The solution's 3D imaging is amazing."
"Its migration and visualization features need improvement."
"I find the power button hard to access with just one hand."
"Sometimes there is a cancellation between two signals that the solution is not able to monitor correctly, this could improve in the future."
"Lacks an in-app photo app or a way to upload photos while carrying out an active onsite survey."
"The information regarding the clients and signal strengths is missing in the Ekahau console."
"Ekahau would benefit by making improvements to lag time."
"I wish there were a competitor to keep Ekahau Site Survey's pricing in line, but there's none."
"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 good if we could involve a visual while designing the backhaul."
"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."
"The cost of the solution could be improved. It's extraordinarily expensive."
"I would like to be able to see two buildings at the same time so that you can create a campus view."
"Areas of improvement would include more functionality in the Mobile App, expanded reporting features, and some shortcut features."
"iBwave Wi-Fi doesn't have a distributor feed platform."
Ekahau Site Survey is ranked 1st in Network Modeling and Simulation with 31 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.
