Ekahau Site Survey vs RedSeal comparison

"Ekahau Site Survey is scalable."

"Ekahau Site Survey is user-friendly."

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

"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."

"The ability to perform dual-band spectrum analysis while conducting the standard WiFi site survey is a tremendous time saver."

"The most valuable function is the site survey capability."

"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."

"The most valuable features are network mapping and configuration."

"RedSeal has different modules, such as the Analyzer module, which can be leveraged."

"This is the only solution in the world that gives you a digital resilience score."

"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."

"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 support is an area in need of improvement."

"Sometimes there is a cancellation between two signals that the solution is not able to monitor correctly, this could improve in the future."

"The only issue is the price. The overall price is a bit high, especially compared to our other vendor. Ekahau is considered expensive."

"Ekahau could be improved by adding three-dimensional modeling, as we currently cannot view APIs in a three-dimensional perspective."

"Lacks an in-app photo app or a way to upload photos while carrying out an active onsite survey."

"The new Sidekick is going to support Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E."

"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."

"One of the areas of concern is the GUI. It is important to our customers that the GUI looks beautiful. It's a Java Client, so you have a Java dependency."

"There is room for improvement in integrating the OT security part and the private 5G security part in RedSeal."

"The dashboard should be improved to make correlating data easier to do."

"Sometimes, it required us to refresh the configuration. When we integrated any of the configurations into the device, sometimes, it could not detect the exact picture of that device. So, we had to reset the device to see that if it was giving true-positive results or false-positive results. In some cases, we were not able to get true-positive results. There was some kind of bug in that version. Its interface is not user-friendly and needs to be improved. It takes time to understand the interface and various options. Skybox has quite a user-friendly interface. They could provide a feature for compliance audit policy if it is already not there. A compliance audit policy ensures that all configurations are based on the best practices standards, such as CIS benchmarks standard or other similar standards. It provides visibility about whether your device configuration is based on best practices or not. Usually, such a feature is provided by other solutions such as Meteor or Tenable Nessus."

"The pricing is high."

"Since we are an academic institute, we get better prices and discounts from Cisco, but not Ekahau."

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

"We pay $6,000 yearly for the licensing, but each piece of hardware, the Ekahau Sidekick, is $5,000."

"9,000 Euro per year."

"Ekahau Site Survey is a really expensive solution."

"The product is quite expensive."

"The solution is less costly than one of its competitors."

"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."
