Efficient mobile surveys with a simple setup but room for cloud improvements
As of now, almost everything is there and suitable for site requirements. However, the cloud takes a lot of time to upload the site survey, and we regularly face issues with syncing to the optimizer. There needs to be improvement in this area. Additionally, the product can be very expensive.

Saves us plenty of time and resources
I only need a small portion of what this solution includes. There should be a way to purchase specific parts of this solution — it's only the appliance that I want. Also, as it's quite a specialized tool, I think they should try and make it easier to use for people who are not very tech-savvy. The software is not very easy to install. In the next release, we should be able to connect to the equipment via a web browser. This would make it easier to download and install files. Currently, it's only compatible with Windows; it's not compatible with Mac and Linux. If we could connect via a browser, perhaps any OS would be sufficient.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We are satisfied with the way this product is working."
"It is a stable solution."
"The product is mature and provides ease of use regarding large-scale planning and reporting."
"The planning feature is useful because it's very affordable."
"We reviewed the maps as a team and determined if any changes needed to be made or if we could just replace APs as they are. We got into this by upgrading our access points to Meraki, and we wanted to make sure that we weren't leaving trouble behind us as we were doing it."
"It's easy to plot APs and generate reports."
"The troubleshooting tools are the most valuable feature of the solution, plus the fact that you can have all the software you need in one place is really handy and convenient."
"Ekahau Site Survey is an easy and accurate solution."
"With this solution, I can evaluate an access point in one day — this saves us a lot of time and resources."
 

Cons

"The report generation has room for improvement and is missing small details."
"Ekahau could be improved by adding three-dimensional modeling, as we currently cannot view APIs in a three-dimensional perspective."
"It would be better if it provided clear visibility. It would be better if it accommodated large physical sites like a warehouse with a ceiling height of more than twelve to fifteen feet. In such situations, we were unable to provide better coverage."
"The information regarding the clients and signal strengths is missing in the Ekahau console."
"This tool needs too many of the resources (RAM) of your PC."
"They’re not listening to feedback, and it feels like they view us merely as a cash cow."
"The GPS feature inside Ekahau could be improved."
"Ekahau needs to enhance the view of materials and make some adjustments to the reports."
"Currently, it's only compatible with Windows; it's not compatible with Mac and Linux. If we could connect via a browser, perhaps any OS would be sufficient."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licenses are a little pricey compared to iBwave, etc."
"We pay a licensing fee."
"I believe that it is approximately $2,000 per year for us. I know we pay for it on an annual basis."
"The solution is less costly than one of its competitors."
"Since we are an academic institute, we get better prices and discounts from Cisco, but not Ekahau."
"9,000 Euro per year."
"That's a tricky thing. When it started off, we had one three-year license and one one-year license because we have two devices. Now, from my understanding, we can only renew every year or get a one-year license, and that cost varies. Being a government organization, we get a different cost than commercial. We have deployed it on Surface Pro tablets. So, the only other cost would be the hardware cost."
"The pricing is high."
"The price fluctuates quite a bit — it should be more stable."
