Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys.""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.""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.""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.""I would like to rate the product as eight of ten.""Customer service is great.""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."

Cons
"It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money.""The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability.""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.""AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system.""When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful.""Less time consumed doing the real surveys.""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."
