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

"Ekahau Site Survey is scalable."
"The ability to perform dual-band spectrum analysis while conducting the standard WiFi site survey is a tremendous time saver."
"Planning design allows us to provide faster quotes to the customer, we take a safety margin but in the end we are very close to the quote and we save time and travel."
"The most valuable features of the Ekahau Site Survey for us are the combination of using the tool."
"It's easy to plot APs and generate reports."
"I have found the most valuable feature is the RF interference and integration capabilities."
"Ekahau Site Survey can be crucial for troubleshooting our Wi-Fi network."
"The planning feature is useful because it's very affordable."
"With this solution, I can evaluate an access point in one day — this saves us a lot of time and resources."
 

Cons

"The new Sidekick is going to support Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E."
"Most features are there, but the network adapter support should be better. Ekahau should support all laptops and versions. There's an issue with the driver too."
"I wish there were a competitor to keep Ekahau Site Survey's pricing in line, but there's none."
"The report generation has room for improvement and is missing small details."
"Customer service is slow to respond. They respond but the 24-hour delay to hold an open dialog is painful."
"They should improve the iPad application because it's unstable. Also, Ekahau could be better integrated with other vendors."
"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."
"Batch reporting for large projects with many project 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced fairly for the features that you receive."
"The product is quite expensive."
"The solution is less costly than one of its competitors."
"The pricing could be lower because the Huawei radial planning is free for the partner. When I asked my boss about buying Ekahau and the USB key, it was complicated because of the high cost, which is €5,000."
"The pricing is high."
"The licenses are a little pricey compared to iBwave, etc."
"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."
"We pay $6,000 yearly for the licensing, but each piece of hardware, the Ekahau Sidekick, is $5,000."
"The price fluctuates quite a bit — it should be more stable."
