Division Network Engineer at a healthcare company with 201-500 employees

Our tech analysts can troubleshoot wireless without needing an engineer to intervene, and data is extremely accurate

Definitely, the AirMapper Site Survey on the AirCheck G2 is the most valuable feature. It is really nice to be able to upload the maps remotely to the website, and then have the analyst upload the results so we can review the data. We use AirMapper on a regular basis. It is probably the most used application on the device, to troubleshoot wireless while the tech analysts are on site and the engineers are not able to make the trip there. The AirMapper is one of the easiest things I've ever actually dealt with for any kind of wireless troubleshooting. It is as easy as using any smartphone on a day-to-day basis. The AirMapper survey data for obtaining information is easy to use and a lifesaver on multiple occasions. It is easy to set up, easy to use, easy to follow the instructions, and the uploading and reviewing of the data are extremely helpful. We use the AirMapper Link-Live service to create heat maps. Once the survey has been performed, we upload all our results to Link-Live where we view the heat maps and go over the rough data of the survey performed at the locations. The ability to validate and visualize the information that's gathered by the AirMapper is extremely useful and it's extremely easy to read. It provides extremely easy data points to review and to gather information from. The ease of use of the handheld AirMapper compared to software for, let's say, a laptop, is night and day. The handheld device is used pretty much like a smartphone. It is extremely user-friendly and ready to go right off the bat. The AutoTest feature also comes in handy quite a bit to view the connection status of the SSID that the user is currently using. It also displays the interference at that site connection. The completeness and accuracy for wireless troubleshooting would probably rank up at about 95 percent. From when the surveys are performed, to the time the results are uploaded, to what we discover, it has been found to be an extremely accurate tool. We have used it many times to identify either troublesome areas that are missing an access point or that are experiencing some kind of interference.

Securing cloud-native AI workloads has improved observability and reduced latency for partners

I think they need to continue developing their load balancing and possibly even a more efficient DNS system. User interfaces are dependent on each customer, whether they're going to use something like Grafana or, in our case at Cisco, we will be using Splunk. The observability parts within Timescape are fine, and I am sure they will improve over time. Governance and security depend on the approach each customer will take to deploying the systems. You can do the minimums or really dive into observability and governance over any of the ecosystems. This is an individual journey, and Isovalent makes it easier. Before Isovalent, we struggled with just simple pod observability with products like Kalisti that sat on the side of the sidecar. Adding all these products added latency, so we tuned the environment as quickly as possible to be as efficient as possible, especially if you're using cloud resources.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Compared to the old AirCheck it is a massive step forward."

"The auto-test, channel scanner, packet capture, and Link-Live integration are all crucial features we use regularly. The wired cable tester is also indispensable. We frequently run into problems during cable testing that are hard to pin down. When tracking down a cable problem, you usually need to plug something into the cable and ensure the cable plant is reliable."

"There is just so much this device does that it's unbelievable sometimes."

"It does an excellent job."

"I bought one out of my own money, so I found enough value to spend my own money on it."

"One device takes the place of many, which is time efficient and cost-efficient."

"I also like the remote session and the ability to log in to the device remotely. You can log in to the tester with your computer and can see the screen and operate the tester remotely. This is a very cool function, but it's very advanced."

"It is a pretty rock-solid device that is well-built."

More AirCheck G3 pros

"Isovalent has positively impacted my organization because my clients really appreciate this solution."

"Isovalent is a quite good company, and I love their products."

"Isovalent has positively impacted my organization by helping improve the security and visibility."

"We have noticed reduced incidents as a specific outcome that shows how things improved."

"Isovalent has positively impacted my organization by increasing efficiency, helping my support teams be more efficient by decreasing time consumption related to troubleshooting for network-related issues."

"Isovalent has positively impacted our organization by enabling control over communications restrictions in microservices, an essential feature since Kubernetes defaults to allowing all pod communications, addressing crucial cyber security concerns and helping implement a zero-trust model, which aligns with our cyber team's requirements for security benchmarking and auditing."

"Using Isovalent's Cilium, I have seen that it will be really helpful for the design and implementation teams who are actually building this cluster and providing it to the end users."

"Isovalent has impacted my organization positively as we are currently moving to Kubernetes and trying to add Cilium to manage networking."

More Isovalent pros

Cons

"NetAlly has been behind the curve on visualization, Wi-Fi design, and heat maps for a little while now."

"The biggest improvement would be an easier upload over wireless to Link-Live. Currently, the device has to be patched into the Ethernet. The wireless upload has been giving us some issues."

"You spend money on and invested in multiple devices and can't even use half of the features."

"The display size could be larger."

"I would like them to modify the interface. The button to change profiles is fairly small."

"I would like them to modify the interface. The button to change profiles is fairly small. When you have interventions, it is not always possible to have a ballpoint pen or perfect precision touch with it, since sometimes you need to touch it quite a lot when your hands are very dirty. I would like a special pen that is compatible with that responsive screen. That would make it easier."

"If this is going to be your exclusive, for example, survey tool, personally, this is not what I would use for that, but for a lot of packet captures, wire testing, rogue device detections, it does a really nice job."

"My biggest complaint about it is that I wish it was cheaper."

More AirCheck G3 cons

"The only feedback I have about Isovalent is probably to lean on more documentation from the resource perspective, which is amazing."

"I have not seen a return on investment from my experience with Isovalent, so I do not have any comments on that."

"I experienced some Hubble problems which were related to the huge internal traffic, which was somehow causing Hubble to hang and required a restart of Hubble."

"I think they need to continue developing their load balancing and possibly even a more efficient DNS system."

"Sometimes I feel the costing is a bit high, on the higher side."

"I think Isovalent can be improved by adding more labs."

"Additionally, the interface is very important to me because the user does not have the ability to see how Isovalent is working."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is definitely well worth the price. It is approximately $2,500. It pays for itself since it eliminates troubleshooting costs and labor due to all the money you would spend kind of troubleshooting the device if you didn't have any of these tools with you."

"If you find a feature you need, you have to call them and add it, but you should be able to use the product. You spend money on and invested in multiple devices and can't even use half of the features. They should negotiate with large enterprises who buy large numbers of units to provide NetAlly support for all of them at a nominal fee."

"Pricing is on par with the rest of the industry and the licensing is decent."

"Because I work in a big company, it is a no-brainer. If I were a consultant, I would still buy it, but it would be a huge investment. Overall, it's a good tool to have."

"It costs $3,000. It would be nice if its cost was less. I could then buy more. Currently, when we buy one, we make sure that where we need it is big enough, or if it is too small, when a person has a job, they have to get a temporary one mailed to them to use, which becomes a little less convenient."

"The product has a pretty good price."

"The price is fairly expensive, if you are a single individual. For me, it's well worth the cost of the unit. Depending on the nature of the work that you're doing, the upfront costs can be expensive. Typically, what happens in an environment is a department might have one device as opposed to technicians having them individually."

"The overall cost of the solution, compared to the time saved—the number of man-hours devoted to other means of troubleshooting—is incomparable."
