While it does consume a lot of system resources, it is doing a lot. I might suggest a dedicated system for conducting surveys. I have a laptop built just for this. Nothing else runs on it other than WiFi related testing software. This keeps Windows from cluttering things up too.

High accuracy percentage, integrates well, and easy installation

Pros and Cons

"I have found the most valuable feature is the RF interference and integration capabilities."

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

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for many years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is very good with this solution.

How was the initial setup?

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

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

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

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

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

What other advice do I have?

I rate Ekahau Site Survey a nine out of ten.
