We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Ubiquiti WLAN 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 most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps."
"The addition of the AirMapper software on the nXG and our AirCheck G2s has helped a lot because we're mostly not drilling down into the data. Local managers only need to see the coverage on their end and whether there are performance bottlenecks. These things are easy enough for us to ascertain with iPerf."
"The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys."
"Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in."
"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."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"Ubiquiti provides good connectivity for the end-user, so I think it's stable."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is a reliable, stable, and robust solution."
"The management features are valuable."
"All of the interfacing is very good."
"Firstly, I initially purchased the device to build a VPN, and one very valuable feature for me was the ability to create a layer two VPN, which was available on the legacy ER router. It allowed me to expand a subnet to a remote site, which was essential for my setup. Additionally, I appreciated that the CLI of the router was similar to other Juniper products that I was familiar with."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"The solution is scalable."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful."
"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."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money."
"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."
"The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder."
"The solution should support a larger bandwidth or distance between the access points and the main stations."
"The solution should improve stability."
"Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins."
"When I started to upgrade, the controller for Unbuntu was really struggling to start up, however, that has since been solved."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world."
"I have never used cloud solutions. My first approach would be something related to the cloud, and backups on the cloud, and maybe an easier way to connect to it because I have an on-premises environment."
"Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability."
AirMagnet Survey is ranked 2nd in Network Modeling and Simulation with 38 reviews while Ubiquiti WLAN is ranked 5th in Wireless LAN with 39 reviews. AirMagnet Survey is rated 8.2, while Ubiquiti WLAN is rated 7.4. The top reviewer of AirMagnet Survey writes "It fixes so many problems quickly that we don't regret spending more on high-end tools than most companies". On the other hand, the top reviewer of Ubiquiti WLAN writes "Helps to build VPNs but improvement is needed in stability ". AirMagnet Survey is most compared with Ekahau Site Survey, Aruba Wireless, AirCheck G3, iBwave Wi-Fi and Wireshark, whereas Ubiquiti WLAN is most compared with Aruba Wireless, Cisco Wireless, Ruckus Wireless, Huawei Wireless and SonicWall SonicWave Access Points.
We monitor all Network Modeling and Simulation reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
