We performed a comparison between Ekahau Site Survey and iBwave Wi-Fi based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Modeling and Simulation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The troubleshooting tools are the most valuable feature of the solution."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"Ekahau Site Survey is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of the Ekahau Site Survey for us are the combination of using the tool."
"The planning feature is useful because it's very affordable."
"Ekahau Site Survey is an easy and accurate solution."
"I like that our users can send us a floor map. Sometimes it's not feasible to travel to another country where the users are based. So, the floor map is very useful. It's a fantastic product."
"It can speed up design."
"The 3D Coverage is a good feature that shows the signal propagation in three dimensions."
"Compared to other tools, iBwave Wi-Fi provides 95% accuracy and generates heatmaps."
"I find the high-quality Heatmap generation, multi-floor, and wire mapping features to be most valuable."
"iBwave Wi-Fi's tech support is great. They pick up their phones. I have no complaints."
"The solution's 3D imaging is amazing."
"The stability and feature set of the application are top notch and can't be matched."
"The information regarding the clients and signal strengths is missing in the Ekahau console."
"Ekahau would benefit by making improvements to lag time."
"Sometimes there is a cancellation between two signals that the solution is not able to monitor correctly, this could improve in the future."
"Lacks an in-app photo app or a way to upload photos while carrying out an active onsite survey."
"The report generation has room for improvement and is missing small details."
"I wish the solution was better at making different survey modes."
"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 am having problems importing maps to Ekahau Site Survey. Importing is one of the first steps in using the solution and it is getting stuck. The problem could be that our maps are large with many layers."
"iBwave Wi-Fi doesn't have a distributor feed platform."
"Areas of improvement would include more functionality in the Mobile App, expanded reporting features, and some shortcut features."
"I am currently looking for an alternative due to my reluctance with the reliability of this product."
"It would be good if we could involve a visual while designing the backhaul."
"The cost of the solution could be improved. It's extraordinarily expensive."
"It would do iBwave well to become more involved with their clients."
"I would like to be able to see two buildings at the same time so that you can create a campus view."
