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.

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

"AirCheck made a lot of children and caregivers quite happy. While I might not have resolved everything, I have reduced the problems that we had every night. During the day, they would do visible checks and not always rely on the monitors, but every night, they had at least three or four of those alarms. I was able to reduce it to once or twice a week since those appliances are still limited in their wireless capability."
"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."
"There is just so much this device does that it's unbelievable sometimes."
"The information provided by the solution for resolving connectivity and performance problems is very thorough. The reporting functionality is extremely good as I can pass that information on with little input. The device will identify issues and problems, e.g., the diagnostic material. When you have Internet access, it sends the information to your email address, which is very useful."
"It is portable. It is rugged. It comes with a nice case. It has been dropped, but it doesn't break. I don't have a crack screen or anything like that. It has pretty good battery life."
"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."
"Compared to the old AirCheck it is a massive step forward."
"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."
"Fluke’s not cheap, but you get what you pay for."
"OneTouch is easy to set up; you just plug it in, enter your details, and off you go, and it only takes a few minutes as long as you've got Link-Live access or network access."
"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."
"The training features are very valuable for me."
"Fluke makes a good product that is rather unique in the marketplace, in my opinion."
 

Cons

"We use .1x authentication, so I need to download the certificate onto the device. It would be nice to have this functionality through the cloud as well. Right now, you need to do it through the software by connecting your laptop physically to the AirCheck. This is one thing that is a bit slow."
"The only thing that would be an improvement would be the ability to do MPO/MPT testing, which is another mode of fiber, along with more options on the SFP to do that testing."
"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."
"NetAlly has been behind the curve on visualization, Wi-Fi design, and heat maps for a little while now. They're perfectly aware of this deficiency, but what they offer is good enough for a lot of people. It's not suitable for larger shops, but it works in a pinch. The AirMapper and subsequent AirMagnet integration is an afterthought."
"The display size could be larger."
"We use these out in the field, and because they're not allowed on our network, we usually have to have the person take them home and provide backhaul to them. In other words, they are not allowed through our firewalls to dump the data. So, we have to have them go to a separate wired network to dump the data. There could be an option to put an LTE and have a phone engine in it so that you can buy a SIM card for it and have it use cellular to download the data. That is something that would be nice to have. That's a little kink in this system right now. Other than using the Ethernet port to download data, it'd be nice if we could use either LTE or some other way to get the data that was collected by AirCheck G2 to our Link-Live portal."
"If it was capable of downloading MIBs onto the device, then we could identify the manufacturer."
"It was hard to determine which AP was which because it only shows the MAC address. It'll also display the MAC address of the BSSID, so it looked like I had 12 APs in my house. If I have three access points and each is a dual-band with an SSID or BSSID for each radio, it comes out to about 12 APs. That's one of the bugs fixed in the latest firmware update, but it's only available if you have a NetAlly support contract."
"I think they're a little steep on the pricing side, but you take what you get."
"There is no scalability for OneTouch. If you want to do other things with it, you can't."
"The RJ45 jack on top of the Linkrunner has not been able to handle the constant usage at my last location and current employer."
"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."
"With my Fluke OneTouch, I did encounter stability issues."
"The dashboard is one area with room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 upfront cost of the solution is around $4,000."
"I'd always love a lower price, but as compared to some of the other tools, it is fairly reasonable. I personally bought one. So, I must have thought the value was there because I'm spending my own hard cash on it, not just the company's. You can get support. I don't have support on my personal device. We did buy support for our company devices. It is reasonable. It is not super expensive or astronomical."
"For a few thousand dollars, you save yourself a ton of time. It's a great deal."
"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."
"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."
"The overall cost of the solution, compared to the time saved—the number of man-hours devoted to other means of troubleshooting—is incomparable."
"The product has a pretty good price."
