Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
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 benefit is with the ease of use of the software, I am able to show the customer, "Here is what your wireless coverage looks like." It is set up in a fashion that non-technical people can understand it. Clear and easy to use maps. | The 3D Coverage is a good feature that shows the signal propagation in three dimensions. The stability and feature set of the application are top notch and can't be matched. I find the high-quality Heatmap generation, multi-floor, and wire mapping features to be most valuable. It can speed up design. |
Cons | |
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. | I would like to be able to see two buildings at the same time so that you can create a campus view. It would do iBwave well to become more involved with their clients. Areas of improvement would include more functionality in the Mobile App, expanded reporting features, and some shortcut features. I am currently looking for an alternative due to my reluctance with the reliability of this product. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
The pricing needs improvement. | I advise others to treat the cost as you would any tooling cost and use the monthly option as needed. |
