We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Huawei Wireless based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Ekahau, NetAlly, iBwave and others in Network Modeling and Simulation."It is reliable and easy to use (user-friendly). The heat mapping, passive network surveying, and doing the heat mapping of a building's wireless network allows me to see what level of coverage an area has."
"I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"The benefit is with the ease of use of the software, I am able to show the customer, "Here is what your wireless coverage looks like." It is set up in a fashion that non-technical people can understand it."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys."
"The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps."
"The heat maps are quite good, and some features are easy to use."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"The solution's roaming feature is very nice. When you move to another place it automatically changes the access point. It's one of the most valuable features."
"The most valuable features of Huawei Wireless are WiFi coverage and ease of use."
"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."
"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The best feature of Huawei Wireless is the quick and fast setup."
"The most valuable thing about Huawei Wireless is that it is one of the cheapest WiFi 6 systems. Its price is very nice. The other WiFi systems cost about 15% more."
"It can scale."
"It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"It would be nice to have some more training resources for younger techs. We can use them if we need some assistance, but that usually requires one of us who knows what we're doing to calibrate the programs properly."
"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"Printouts are JPEG printouts. The AirMagnet software is proprietary. I can't send my customers a file, because it is AirMagnet file, even for building projects. I can only send JPEGs or screenshots of heat maps."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"The solution needs to include a captive portal."
"Huawei Wireless can improve the signal, sometimes it becomes weak."
"I have already integrated the radius system with Cisco and Huawei products, but it can be further improved to be more user-friendly and easier to use."
"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."
"The scalability could be better."
"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."
"Improving the visibility, control offered, and cloud management would all be very helpful. Also how you can monetize the information you get from Wi-Fi controllers should be improved."
"The speed could be a bit better."
AirMagnet Survey is ranked 2nd in Network Modeling and Simulation with 38 reviews while Huawei Wireless is ranked 9th in Wireless LAN with 33 reviews. AirMagnet Survey is rated 8.2, while Huawei Wireless is rated 8.0.
