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.

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 an easy and accurate solution."
"Customer service is excellent; always there to answer questions or assist with an issue; very open to feedback on how to improve the product."
"The spectrum analysis capability is very good. It provides deep insights into the Wi-Fi environment. It's not just about troubleshooting interference but also optimizing access points and modifying power levels and channels."
"We are satisfied with the way this product is working."
"The most valuable features of the Ekahau Site Survey for us are the combination of using the tool."
"There are some survey tools that are a little easier to use, but the benefit of using the Ekahau is that it is very configurable. If you go into a building that has solid cement walls, instead of traditional walls, you can configure it for that. It is much more configurable than the other ones."
"I like Ekahau's interface and the reports it can generate."
"Ekahau Site Survey can be crucial for troubleshooting our Wi-Fi network."
"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."
"If you want to understand your network environment as it relates to configuration issues, host/node vulnerabilities and firewall configurations, then I highly recommend that RedSeal be considered."
"The Vulnerability and Risk Management feature is valuable to us for keeping the security posture up-to-date and conducting regular continuous audits."
"RedSeal integrates the network and gives us a visual or graphical overview of our network. If an organization is geographically dispersed, for instance, with one office in Canada and one office in the Philippines, the whole network, including all devices, is integrated into RedSeal, and you can see from where the traffic is going in and out."
"The most valuable feature of the product to me is being able to ask what-if questions about traffic flows, which is a great ability to have for security and incident response."
"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."
"This solution is amazing! The most important part is the way it gives access information to the entire infrastructure, the network most importantly."
"Overall, I am very happy with the way the product is working."
 

Cons

"The cloud takes a lot of time to upload the site survey, and we regularly face issues with syncing to the optimizer."
"I find the power button hard to access with just one hand."
"In terms of technical support, it is hit or miss. They tend to rely on offshore support for the first level and the response time is painfully slow, considering I pay $1389 per year for it."
"Our CTO was not real happy with their support."
"Customer service is slow to respond. They respond but the 24-hour delay to hold an open dialog is painful."
"Today, ESS doesn't support mixed outdoor-indoor environments."
"Sometimes there is a cancellation between two signals that the solution is not able to monitor correctly, this could improve in the future."
"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."
"The network mapping/visualization could be improved significantly."
"Although we are talking about a very robust platform, I would like to see the Windows compatible VM version come back."
"Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved."
"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."
"Integration with other security tools. Have the ability to create custom reports: Currently, within RedSeal you only have the option to run the canned reports."
"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."
"Initially their level one support was very frustrating to work with."
"There is room for improvement regarding customization and automation of reports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"9,000 Euro per year."
"The product is quite expensive."
"This solution is not cheap. If you only need an occasional site survey, you are better off contracting a wireless engineering professional that has one."
"The solution is priced fairly for the features that you receive."
"Since we are an academic institute, we get better prices and discounts from Cisco, but not Ekahau."
"I believe that it is approximately $2,000 per year for us. I know we pay for it on an annual basis."
"The pricing is high."
"We pay a licensing fee."
"The pricing is based on the number of endpoints and devices, and we have seen it range from mid-five figures to low six figures."
