Mark Witherspoon

Wireless Services Manager at Veritas Managed Solutions

A solution for site verifications and enhanced with adapters that provide more realistic readings, but needs to support Wi-Fi 6E

Ekahau and AirMagnet Survey have their own pros and cons, in my opinion. For example, the APs are not visible in Ekahau but AirMagnet Survey allows us to see what APs and channels are being used in a live view, which Ekahau lacks. In Ekahau, the signal from the AP it's capturing at that time is visible which is a bit of an inconvenience. The predictive planner of AirMagnet's is better. However, Ekahau has advantages over AirMagnet because it groups all the SSIDs into one AP, whereas with AirMagnet, one needs to group them manually. Ekahau also supports Wi-Fi 6E, but its licensing is restrictive and more costly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in."

"We haven't really used any other solution because there really wasn't anything out there like AirMagnet."

"If they want a good feel of the network, it has all the tools and information you need to know for problems with coverage and signal strength."

"Technical support is very good."

"Clear and easy to use maps."

"AirMagnet is a one-stop shop for everything."

"It has helped us to survey coverage after implementation."

More AirMagnet Survey PRO pros

"The solution has high performance and we are using Wi-Fi 6 that we have found to be the best coverage."

"The handover is seamless whenever the users connect to the access point."

"What I like most about Huawei Wireless is that it's customizable. It has many unique features, such as encryption, spatial streams, hiding features for different scenarios, low-density and high-density areas, and smart antennas."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its simplicity."

"The product is easy to use, the signal is very stable with very good performance, and for network devices it is great."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"We've found the solution to be quite stable."

"When opening the radio, we manage the frequency to handle overlapping effectively."

More Huawei Wireless pros

Cons

"It would be nice to have some more training resources for younger techs. We can use them if we need some assistance, but that usually requires one of us who knows what we're doing to calibrate the programs properly."

"The pricing and licensing are expensive, but for us, it was fair."

"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."

"We have had a problem with the reporting module, as it can't put the full size picture of a floor plan in the report."

"The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."

"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface."

"I would just like to see integration of more wireless cards to have a broader group of cards you could use, instead of just a couple of specific ones."

"The pricing needs improvement."

More AirMagnet Survey PRO cons

"Price is one of the major problems of the solution, and because of this, our company's customers want to migrate to some other product from Huawei."

"I'd like to see some after-sales support. It's a little bit below the expectations we had."

"The scalability could be a bit better."

"We are experiencing some challenges in terms of technical support; it's not readily available."

"Huawei Wireless is not scalable. We have had a problem with the solution because it cannot integrate with other servers as the other competitors can."

"Huawei Wireless has a small technical problem. When you use a power injector, it needs to be specially configured for the switch to which it is connected. It tries to take power not from the power injector but from the switch. The funny thing when you look at it is that you have three switches or maybe four or five that are theoretically capable. However, the port on these switches is disabled. When you connect the access point to a power injector, the access point checks for features from the switch, but on this port, the switch doesn't do power. So, the access point changes these features to energy save mode and cuts off some features, especially WiFi 6. It took me two weeks to find out what's going on and how to mitigate this sort of problem. It is very easy to fix. You need to disable LLDP on the port on which you connect the access point to the power injector. Power injectors aren't quite commonly used, but I have 54 access points, and I have used about 27 power injectors. So, about half of the access points were working at reduced speed, not full speed, for two weeks."

"The security of the solution could be better in the future."

"The technical support needs to be improved. They also need to produce some more technical guides."

More Huawei Wireless cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing of AirMagnet Survey is different when compared to Ekahu. It is a third of the cost of Ekahau but there are no dedicated laptops to the Sidekick. AirMagnet allows you to license an adapter and share that adapter."

"The tool's pricing is medium."

"For technical support, you need an annual license, but it is not worth it."

"This product is very expensive."

"There is an annual cost of the solution. There are some additional charges, such as support and maintenance."

"The moment we began needing more of the vendor's support, the cost became very high; we switched to another solution."

"The pricing needs improvement."

"Huawei Wireless is an expensive solution."

"Right now, my company made a one-time purchase of Huawei Wireless. It depends, but in most of the projects where customers buy hardware with some software, it's a one-time purchase. Customers pay a yearly fee for other projects for support and additional software features, such as email protection firmware updates for cybersecurity. You'll also receive information about the latest attacks and get more protection if you pay an additional fee apart from the standard license fee. You'll also get an additional warranty for Huawei Wireless, a yearly contract."

"To compete effectively, Huawei might consider adjusting pricing to align more closely with other competitive brands, particularly those offering lower-cost solutions."

"Its price is very good. This wireless system totally costs about 30,000 euros, and some of the other solutions cost about 45,000 euros. It is a difference of 15,000 euros, which is quite a lot of money."

"The platform is less costly than one of its competitors. I rate the pricing a three out of ten."

"I would rate them something, like, eight to nine, on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"Huawei licenses can be for either a one-year up to a five-year period and also apply for the tiers."

"It is not monthly. It is a kind of perpetual licensing. We pay once depending on the kind of services we need to deliver. There are no licensing fees."
