Featured Review
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Customer service is great.""The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often.""The most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting.""We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks.""It is reliable and easy to use (user-friendly). The heat mapping, passive network surveying, and doing the heat mapping of a building's wireless network allows me to see what level of coverage an area has.""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.""Clear and easy to use maps.""It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys."

"This solution has helped our organization by allowing us to have visibility. We deal with cybersecurity, so visibility is very important.""It is an overall stable solution."

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.""Less time consumed doing the real surveys.""But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones.""The user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate.""When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful.""It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money.""The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one.""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."

More AirMagnet Survey Cons →

"Currently, Broadcom Network Flow Analysis does not support high-availability solutions, making it an area that needs improvement.""I would like to see more security features, like a lost protection package."
