Ekahau Site Survey Reviews

We use Ekahau for site surveys to demonstrate the quality of Wifi networks. We are deploying it for our clients, who usually have a private cloud.

I like Ekahau's interface and the reports it can generate.

They should improve the iPad application because it's unstable. Also, Ekahau could be better integrated with other vendors. 

I have been using Ekahau for two years.

Ekahau is stable on the laptop, but the iPad app isn't stable.

Ekahau is scalable.

I rate Ekahau support seven out of 10. It could be improved.

Deploying Ekahau is medium difficulty. We need two specialists for deployment. 

I rate Ekahau Site Survey nine out of 10. It's an original product that could be the standard on the market. It has a good price point. 

I have found the most valuable feature is the RF interference and integration capabilities. While upgrading or adding on different hardware to a solution you need to use propriety hardware from the manufacturer sometimes for it to be compatible, this solution integrates well with other hardware. Additionally, the solution is reliable and has a high percentage of accuracy.

Sometimes there is a cancellation between two signals that the solution is not able to monitor correctly, this could improve in the future. I believe there is some kind of scattering happening preventing the solution from detecting the two signals correctly.

In a future release, I would like to see integration with wifi controllers, such as Aruba controllers.

I have been using the solution for many years.

The stability is very good with this solution. 

The initial installation is straightforward. It is easy, you can do it in a matter of minutes.

The solution is priced fairly for the features that you receive. 

There are solutions that can provide some of the functionality of the solution for free. 

I rate Ekahau Site Survey a nine out of ten.

I use Ekahau Site Survey for heat mapping wireless coverage.

Ekahau lets you create heat maps without doing the initial survey. It makes the task easier. 

When a version goes out of support, sometimes the newer version isn't already available. There should be an option to import, and maybe access points can be added to the other version as well. 

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've used Ekahau for the last two years.

Installing Ekahau is straightforward. You install it on a Windows machine, and that's it.

I did the installation by myself.

The pricing is quite expensive. Not all companies can afford it

I've tried NetScout and Acrylic. We're comparing them, and we'll buy them if they meet our needs.

I rate Ekahau Site Survey eight out of 10. Go for it if you can afford it.
