We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and Ruckus Wireless based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Ekahau, NetAlly, iBwave and others in Network Modeling and Simulation."We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"Customer service is great."
"I would like to rate the product as eight of ten."
"The most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting."
"The addition of the AirMapper software on the nXG and our AirCheck G2s has helped a lot because we're mostly not drilling down into the data. Local managers only need to see the coverage on their end and whether there are performance bottlenecks. These things are easy enough for us to ascertain with iPerf."
"The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps."
"It is reliable and easy to use (user-friendly). The heat mapping, passive network surveying, and doing the heat mapping of a building's wireless network allows me to see what level of coverage an area has."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The product can scale."
"Unproblematic"
"The solution has great network intelligence from applications, clients, access points, and controllers."
"We are able to quickly identify Rogue WAPs in our network and move to disconnect them immediately when Ruckus alerts us."
"The connectivity of the product is amazing."
"Dead zones were immediately eliminated when we deployed these WAPs in all of our locations, plus Ruckus’ analytics on the ZoneDirectors allow us to quickly identify clients that are taking too much bandwidth."
"It's reliable wireless equipment."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful."
"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface."
"It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money."
"Printouts are JPEG printouts. The AirMagnet software is proprietary. I can't send my customers a file, because it is AirMagnet file, even for building projects. I can only send JPEGs or screenshots of heat maps."
"The solution currently lacks the integration of security services."
"It is extremely difficult to send videos in Ruckus live sessions. Zoom streaming, or using Teams Streaming live sessions to send videos, for example, could be more effective."
"Previously, we would need to purchase appliances every time but it caused our data centers to get filled. Ruckus now has cloud-based controllers. They resolved the issue we were having."
"Ruckus products, overall, have a wide range of useful features, however not all customers have the budget to buy a corporate Wi-Fi solution. Most of the time, it's far too expensive for our clients to consider going with Ruckus, and they might like to see cheaper solutions in the Ruckus range."
"The solution is sensitive with reference to power fluctuations. This sensitivity should be improved. Additionally, the solution should have more security features integrated."
"It would be nice if there was a way to compare access points and hardware so you can always get the same level of performance."
"It would be helpful to have a wizard when you are setting up a new access point or a wireless guest network."
"The initial setup was not simple. We were installing indoor and outdoor wireless and this is why it took us three months."
