A solution for site verifications and enhanced with adapters that provide more realistic readings, but needs to support Wi-Fi 6E
Ekahau and AirMagnet Survey have their own pros and cons, in my opinion. For example, the APs are not visible in Ekahau but AirMagnet Survey allows us to see what APs and channels are being used in a live view, which Ekahau lacks. In Ekahau, the signal from the AP it's capturing at that time is visible which is a bit of an inconvenience. The predictive planner of AirMagnet's is better. However, Ekahau has advantages over AirMagnet because it groups all the SSIDs into one AP, whereas with AirMagnet, one needs to group them manually. Ekahau also supports Wi-Fi 6E, but its licensing is restrictive and more costly.

It's a simple entry-level tool that's easy to set up, but it has some limitations on speed and IP targets
OneTouch is an entry-level testing tool that's coming to the end of its life, I believe, so it has limitations. For example, it can only test up to 1 gig of network speed. It would be helpful if they increased that to 10 gigs. It is also limited in the number of IP targets you can test. If you want to test how many hops or different sites, you should be able to hit a test button and say, "Right then, test these 20 IP addresses to see if I can reach them." It only does up to 10. Most of NetAlly's other devices, like the G2, can do unlimited addresses.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product takes away the guessing; it gives us hard evidence on how to engineer and determine where we need to place wireless access coverage or points for optimal coverage."
"As far as using the software, it's going to give you true results and be very accurate."
"Before there was some Snyder solution which was a free software that we used, however, comparing that to this tool, AirMagnet is a good and reliable solution."
"The predictive survey is the most valuable feature. I use it quite often."
"AirMagnet is a one-stop shop for everything."
"We use Air Magnet Survey Pro to help show our wireless coverage throughout the building."
"The AirMagnet Survey allows you to see the list of APs in the live view. It only supports certain adapters, which can be limiting, but it's also beneficial because these adapters are more comparable to real-life devices like laptops. With Ekahau, Sidekick needs to be used for full features, but I find the Sidekick too strong, which can hamper results. Therefore, I prefer AirMagnet's approach because the adapters provide more realistic readings."
"Overall, the majority of their support engineers are exceptional, especially when it comes to being able to react or assist us on something that's extremely critical through an ongoing project for us."
"Fluke makes a good product that is rather unique in the marketplace, in my opinion."
"OneTouch is easy to set up. You just plug it in, enter your details, and off you go. It only takes a few minutes as long as you've got Link-Live access or network access."
"The training features are very valuable for me."
"For me, it's easy to use, it always gives me accurate information, it's never crashed or had issues, and the way it's designed lets you pull the module off and put a different type of module on to do other stuff."
"Fluke’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for."
 

Cons

"The software crashes frequently which requires you to restart your PC."
"The worst thing that is built into AirMagnet is, if your laptop crashes in the middle, all of the work you have done is gone."
"The moment we began needing more of the vendor's support, the cost became very high; we switched to another solution."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"We have had a problem with reporting module, it can't put the full size picture of floor plan in report."
"I would just like to see integration of more wireless cards to have a broader group of cards you could use, instead of just a couple of specific ones."
"Nowadays, it almost seems like you can get by without having to purchase the software and have somebody run the scan."
"If anything, the rendering speed when doing or looking at large surveys could be faster, but I understand that sheer volume of information is the issue."
"It is also limited in the number of IP targets you can test. If you want to test how many hops or different sites, you should be able to hit a test button and say, "Right then, test these 20 IP addresses to see if I can reach them." It only does up to 10. Most of NetAlly's other devices, like the G2, can do unlimited addresses."
"I think they're a little steep on the pricing side, but you take what you get."
"With my Fluke OneTouch, I did encounter stability issues."
"The RJ45 jack on top of the Linkrunner has not been able to handle the constant usage at my last location and current employer."
"The dashboard is one area with room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing of AirMagnet Survey is different when compared to Ekahu. It is a third of the cost of Ekahau but there are no dedicated laptops to the Sidekick. AirMagnet allows you to license an adapter and share that adapter."
"For technical support, you need an annual license, but it is not worth it."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"There is an annual cost of the solution. There are some additional charges, such as support and maintenance."
"The tool's pricing is medium."
"The moment we began needing more of the vendor's support, the cost became very high; we switched to another solution."
"This product is very expensive."
