We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN 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 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."
"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."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"The most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting."
"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."
"I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"Meraki WLAN is easy to deploy, includes a cloud controller, and updates continuously. It also offers high visibility."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's initial setup process was straightforward."
"What I liked about these is that they worked. I didn't touch them or do anything with them. They were up and running when I came here. Once they are set up and running, you don't have to worry about them."
"The graphic user interface is very nice."
"I like the record that is being kept and multiple SSDs."
"The product is super stable. I would rate the stability a ten."
"The network security the solution provides is its most valuable aspect."
"The tool's most valuable feature is report generation. Its dashboard helps me a lot with user analytics."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"The user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"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."
"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."
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface."
"In some cases, they could include enhanced features in the product, such as a firewall console and traffic analysis."
"The licensing could be a bit better."
"Initially, I liked some of the filtering features, but that's one of the components that we ran into problems with."
"The annual maintenance is something that needs to be changed."
"The customization needs to be improved because it's pretty locked down."
"Licensing is, in my opinion, the least appealing component. It can be difficult to keep licenses up to date in order for the system to function properly."
"It's performing well, really well. We don't have any issues. We only have issues if there is a lot of rogue APs in the neighborhood and that not Meraki's fault."
"We face a bottleneck on the gateway while using the solution for large enterprises."
