We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Ruckus 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."The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys."
"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."
"Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in."
"The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps."
"Customer service is great."
"The most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"The biggest advantages of Ruckus Wireless are pricing and support."
"Its high capacity is the most valuable. It is also very stable. It is way more stable than other platforms."
"The most valuable feature is the portal."
"Key features are integrated WiFi client performance tools, sophisticated user access controls, and easy and understandable controls and interfaces."
"In my experience, Ruckus devices are much more reliable than other vendors when it comes to consistency, coverage, and client density. Ruckus is very simple to configure and troubleshoot."
"Ruckus Wireless is a reliable solution."
"Ruckus features a centralized architecture solution with ultrasound technology, which helps us with communication and roaming."
"Configurations are highly customizable and we could tune easily to suit our Wi-Fi requirements."
"When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"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."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"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 user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate."
"Ruckus products, overall, have a wide range of useful features, however not all customers have the budget to buy a corporate Wi-Fi solution. Most of the time, it's far too expensive for our clients to consider going with Ruckus, and they might like to see cheaper solutions in the Ruckus range."
"The cloud controller needs work. My big issue is that all APs can't set static IPs. Also, adding customers to your dashboard is not that easy at all. I wish I could pop out some reporting from the dashboards as well."
"The solution could include more security features."
"They can improve the cloud portion. Other vendors have a cloud controller, and they can provide the same so that we can see everything."
"Wi-Fi 6E and the cloud are areas with shortcomings in the solution that need improvement."
"Having support available that is more compatible with time zones in the United States would be helpful."
"It would be helpful to have a wizard when you are setting up a new access point or a wireless guest network."
"It could be cheaper."
