Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I would like to rate the product as eight of ten.""The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps.""We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks.""Customer service is great.""Clear and easy to use maps.""The most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting.""The heat maps are quite good, and some features are easy to use.""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."

"This product has good network monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.""NetBrain is a very simple tool.""A reliable, time-saving tool for providing accurate layer 2 and layer 3 network mappings.""Chain management is a good feature.

Cons
"The user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate.""Less time consumed doing the real surveys.""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.""But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones.""The throughput should be more advanced in the future. They need to add more versions of WiFi than just one.""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.""The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability."

More AirMagnet Survey Cons →

"Each device needs to be configured to allow NetBrain to poll for the information it needs, which can be very time-consuming for a large network.""It would be nice if the setup was a little simpler. Also, if the solution could provide more training materials for new people coming into our company so they can quickly learn how to use the functionalities.""The IP interface brief isn't consistent.""Support needs to improve for the installed product and some of the reporting could be more flexible to provide more complete cataloging.""The solution could integrate more automation."

    Overview

    AirMagnet Survey PRO enables network professionals to design, deploy, and validate Wi-Fi 6 networks for optimal performance, security, and compliance. It also calculates the ideal quantity, placement, and configuration of APs for a successful wireless LAN deployment. AirMagnet Survey PRO goes beyond simply verifying RF coverage by plotting actual end-user network performance in terms of connection speed, throughput, and packet statistics by allowing you to use any Wi-Fi adapter or AirMapper™ Site Survey on the AirCheck™ G2 and EtherScope® nXG. Survey PRO helps you get Wi-Fi installations right the first time, preventing costly rework and user complaints.

    Managing today’s networks with yesterday’s manual processes is no longer a viable solution. NetBrain’s network automation platform provides actionable insights into your network to help you make better and faster decisions - particularly when you’re troubleshooting, securing, and making changes to the network.
