The most valuable feature is the predictive survey. The antennas' RF patterns are reflected correctly on the drawing when preparing predictive heat maps.

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.

The most valuable features are the survey, spectrum analysis, and reporting.

The heat maps are quite good, and some features are easy to use.

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.

The user interface needs a lot of improvement. The auto-placement of access points is not accurate.

I would say some of our newer techs that are going out to job sites can be a little bit intimidated by the interface.

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.

The surveying features are in need of improvement, along with general usability.

It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money.

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.

But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones.

When you conduct an active survey and then want to use it for design work, it's actually not very useful.
