We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and DX Spectrum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Troubleshooting solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys."
"The heat maps are quite good, and some features are easy to use."
"The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in."
"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 tool is very mature, and its valuable features are monitoring and configuration management."
"This product provides good visibility into applications at the backend."
"Stability has been good. We really have not had any issues."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to put health checks in place not only for the infrastructure but for some of the services that are on top of the infrastructure."
"Spectrum is very useful for us, because the product lets us monitor and control all the various components of our infrastructure that support our business from an IT perspective."
"Spectrum does such a great job of discovering our network that we have a high confidence in what our inventory is."
"The most valuable feature is the auto-discovery, which is nice because you don't have to do anything to add a new component."
"The Spectrum tool improved our network assurance levels for our business units."
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"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."
"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface."
"When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful."
"The user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate."
"It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money."
"DX Spectrum needs better documentation on its complex features."
"If nobody else has said the documentation needs improvement, let's go there. I understand, you can either write about it or you can do it. And most of us would rather they do it, but now that they've done it, those of us that didn't do it, we need to go and find: "Where did they write about this to tell us how to do it?" That's always lacking."
"The upgrade process could be smoother. More of the steps around upgrading could be automated."
"It was somewhat complex to implement."
"If the integration is simplified or improved, it will be a unique selling point in comparison to the competition on the market."
"The solution's stability needs improvement."
"The platform is complicated to use."
"Huawei devices are not properly supported, and there are incompatibility issues related to certain protocols."
