We performed a comparison between AirMagnet Survey and LinkSprinter 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."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."
"Clear and easy to use maps."
"The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"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."
"We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."
"The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps."
"The tool fits in your pocket, so it's easy to carry and you don't have to have a big bag of tools."
"The solution provides switch port and VLAN information."
"The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one."
"It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money."
"I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"They could make it easier to set up originally, because the initial setup can be quite hit and miss."
"The solution should improve cable testing."
