Ekahau Site Survey vs RedSeal comparison

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

"The planning feature is useful because it's very affordable."

"The most valuable feature of Ekahau Site Survey is the predictive survey."

"The OEM dashboard has a lot of useful features to troubleshoot the Wi-Fi."

"Ekahau Site Survey is scalable."

"The most valuable features of the Ekahau Site Survey for us are the combination of using the tool."

"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."

"We reviewed the maps as a team and determined if any changes needed to be made or if we could just replace APs as they are. We got into this by upgrading our access points to Meraki, and we wanted to make sure that we weren't leaving trouble behind us as we were doing it."

"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."

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

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

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

"In all of our buildings, whenever we deploy wireless access points, we also have to deploy wireless intrusion detections. The Ekahau Site Survey tool doesn't allow us to differentiate between the access point and the intrusion detection device. That's because they're the same devices, but they're configured differently for the type of usage. That's one area that I would ask them to improve. They should allow the identification of access points versus wireless intrusion detection."

"The report generation has room for improvement and is missing small details."

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

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

"Ekahau Site Survey is an expensive solution, and its pricing should be improved."

"The support is an area in need of improvement."

"Its migration and visualization features need improvement."

"I wish the solution was better at making different survey modes."

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

"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."

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

"The pricing is high."

"That's a tricky thing. When it started off, we had one three-year license and one one-year license because we have two devices. Now, from my understanding, we can only renew every year or get a one-year license, and that cost varies. Being a government organization, we get a different cost than commercial. We have deployed it on Surface Pro tablets. So, the only other cost would be the hardware cost."

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

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

"The licenses are a little pricey compared to iBwave, etc."

"I believe that it is approximately $2,000 per year for us. I know we pay for it on an annual basis."

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

"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."
