The overall pricing of the solution means it ultimately pays for itself. Once you get your hands on one of these G2s and perform even just a site survey, using the data points that you receive, it speaks for itself. It is an extreme game-changer, and a lifesaver every single time it's used. As far as I know, there are no additional costs besides the licensing fee. 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 device itself will perform these tasks in minutes, compared to hours. And even looking over the data points and providing a reference point for those data points saves so much time. It saves time because of the heat maps, the detail of every single data point captured, and the reports you can automatically submit.

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. I'm not aware of any of us having to send the device in or have it break. It is a portable device, and at my previous job, I worked in a lot of warehouses. Sometimes, in a warehouse, you're up on a conveyor. You might be 20 feet up from the ground, testing near a conveyor. If it drops, I want to make sure I get it replaced. So, that's the price you pay.

Pricing is on par with the rest of the industry and the licensing is decent. The licensing fees depend on what you want. There is the high maintenance and coverage, which covers everything including free software upgrades. And if something becomes broken, we call them and they'll send us a loaner while we send the broken one in. They'll work on it, check it for us, and re-certify it.

AirCheck is appropriately priced as an enterprise-grade tool for professional work. It's not the most expensive tool in the industry, so it's more affordable than many other competitors in the market. Each unit is a couple of grand, which a large organization can absorb because we use these tools to benefit our customers in tangible ways.

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. It is not cheap, but it does everything you're going to need to have done. We're a customer because it is a well-performing device that we can give our people in the field. They feel comfortable with it, and they don't dread using it. It is very reliable, and it is consistent. We like it, but it is not cheap. I wish it was cheaper. There are some free apps that give me one or two things. I run about three different apps that I can use for some Wi-Fi data, but it is still on my phone. I can't put an external antenna to it. It is RF data, and the RF performance of phones is very much impacted by how you have your hand on the antenna, etc. There is a lot of variability in readings. The readings are more repeatable with AirCheck, and I get better and more consistent data, which is important. There are the support fees that you need to pay, or you should pay. We do an enterprise support agreement. So, we get a pretty good deal, but some of the support models are just overpriced nowadays. Companies want to make so much on support. With some network devices, you go on the site, and they have a download. You just download it and put it on your device, and you're done with it. You pay one price, and you're done. With them, they are always putting their hand in your pocket for a download, but you buy three years at once. We pay just a few hundred dollars a year per device. It keeps us in compliance with our own internal processes. So, it is worth it, and we just pay for it.

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. We purchased our unit outright. I am the only one using AirCheck right now due to the cost of the device.

It is a bit expensive, to be honest. For a big company it's not a big deal. But for a small firms, like a wireless consultant or small IT support company, it is hugely expensive and that's a shame because it is a fantastic tool. Netally have a unique position in this market so I guess they can do whatever they want. Fair enough. Because I work in a big company, it is a no-brainer. The yearly maintenance fee is okay; 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.

The upfront cost of the solution is around $4,000. This cost does not include service contracts for support.

For a few thousand dollars, you save yourself a ton of time. It's a great deal.
