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.

A small, convenient tool that is very stable, but needs to have a longer battery life
They could make it easier to set up originally, because the initial setup can be quite hit and miss. It is also quite battery intensive, so it might last a bit longer if it had a lithium battery. You're always having to replace the batteries, so it would be good if it could be USB-charged or something like that.

Cons

"Occasionally, it crashes or locks up."
"But it's definitely a more expensive solution than other ones."
"It'd be nice if it was cheaper, however, you get value for your money."
"Nowadays, it almost seems like you can get by without having to purchase the software and have somebody run the scan."
"AirMagnet Survey doesn't cover certain devices in the system."
"The pricing and licensing are expensive, but for us, it was fair."
"I had some crash issues due to the wireless card driver."
"The moment we began needing more of the vendor's support, the cost became very high; we switched to another solution."
"They could make it easier to set up originally, because the initial setup can be quite hit and miss."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The pricing needs improvement."
"For technical support, you need an annual license, but it is not worth it."
"This product is very expensive."
"There is an annual cost of the solution. There are some additional charges, such as support and maintenance."
