Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks.""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 features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting.""Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in.""The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often.""Clear and easy to use maps.""The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps.""It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys."

"The ease of use and simplicity of the solution is its most valuable feature. This tool is best suited for small environments.""Ubiquiti WLAN's best feature is the free controller system software.""The solution is very easy to install.""It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The product is simple to use in terms of GUI and dashboard.""The solution has a lot of great features.""Great management interface.""Ubiquiti WLAN is stable."

Cons
"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface.""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 surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability.""But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones.""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.""AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system.""The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one.""The user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate."

More AirMagnet Survey Cons →

"Its scalability, UI, and security features could be better.""Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability.""During the configuration, we cannot get information on the network level from the regular interface.""The strength of the signal from the access points could be improved.""The solution should improve stability.""Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins.""The product's area of concern revolves around its lack of support.""The solution needs to improve robustness, security, and stability."

    Overview

    AirMagnet Survey PRO enables network professionals to design, deploy, and validate Wi-Fi 6 networks for optimal performance, security, and compliance. It also calculates the ideal quantity, placement, and configuration of APs for a successful wireless LAN deployment. AirMagnet Survey PRO goes beyond simply verifying RF coverage by plotting actual end-user network performance in terms of connection speed, throughput, and packet statistics by allowing you to use any Wi-Fi adapter or AirMapper™ Site Survey on the AirCheck™ G2 and EtherScope® nXG. Survey PRO helps you get Wi-Fi installations right the first time, preventing costly rework and user complaints.

    UniFi is a revolutionary Wi-Fi system that combines Enterprise performance, unlimited scalability, a central management controller and disruptive pricing.
