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 features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting."
"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."
"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."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"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."
"The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"The solution is very easy to install."
"I have found Ubiquiti WLAN scalable. We have approximately 200 users using the solution in my organization and do not plan to increase usage."
"For me, the ease of configuration is a valuable feature."
"Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software."
"It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Ubiquiti WLAN has good performance."
"Anyone can buy the product off the shelf and configure it."
"Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."
"When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful."
"It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money."
"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 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."
"Less time consumed doing the real surveys."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"The downside is the interface changes, where they are constantly doing firmware updates."
"The product must provide better warranties."
"The product’s bandwidth could be better."
"The coverage could be increased."
"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."
"Ubiquiti WLAN only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi radio and would be improved by including support for 5GHz."
"There seems to be a drop in service. It's definitely a reliability or stability issue we face."
"Largely we're happy with the product, however, the firmware deployments could maybe be managed a little bit differently."
AirMagnet Survey is ranked 2nd in Network Modeling and Simulation with 38 reviews while Ubiquiti WLAN is ranked 5th in Wireless LAN with 36 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 Cisco Meraki Wireless LAN, whereas Ubiquiti WLAN is most compared with Aruba Wireless, Cisco Wireless, Ruckus Wireless, Omada Access Points and Mist AI and Cloud.
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.
