Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""Customer service is great.""I would like to rate the product as eight of ten.""Using the products to ensure the safety of our equipment that we have a lot invested in.""It allows us to prepare more real designs. Later, we validate them with actual surveys.""Clear and easy to use maps.""The heat maps are quite good, and some features are easy to use.""We use the solution for Wi-Fi and networks."

More AirMagnet Survey Pros →

"Its most valuable feature is pricing.""There was a time when we were using Cisco switches and attempting to integrate Ubiquiti UniFi switches into our network infrastructure. Eventually, after some effort, we managed to understand the process. Initially, it was challenging to configure the unified console to manage virtual networks alongside internal networks effectively. We had to comprehend how both systems would integrate carefully. It became apparent that maximizing the usage of Cisco switches required a thorough understanding of how UniFi operates at the backend.""The most beneficial thing about Ubiquiti is that it is simple to deploy.""Ubiquiti WLAN has been stable and is easy to install.""The most valuable feature is the level of security on the Wi-Fi network.""Ubiquiti WLAN is stable.""The solution has a lot of great features.""You can save backups of this controller locally and then I can export it to wherever I want."

Cons
"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 user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate.""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.""Less time consumed doing the real surveys.""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.""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."

More AirMagnet Survey Cons →

"The product needs to improve the user interface in the migration from old to new versions.""The solution could improve by having a cloud version. A cloud version is the easiest to configure anywhere in the world.""Ubiquiti WLAN needs to expand the models with external antennas. It needs to improve stability.""Ubiquiti WLAN would be improved with the addition of individual AP configuration, which would allow for fine-tuning of individual access points and logins.""The product’s bandwidth could be better.""It is not a stable solution.""The logs are not detailed enough. You can't clearly see what is being blocked in Ubiquiti WLAN, making the troubleshooting process a little bit harder.""The support needs improvement. The official support is kind of complex. It's not that straightforward compared to Cisco and Aruba."

    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.

    UniFi is a revolutionary Wi-Fi system that combines Enterprise performance, unlimited scalability, a central management controller and disruptive pricing.
