Very first review – Since a couple of weeks, we have evaluated and ordered NetSpot with Enterprise feature set as our future wireless network analyzing tool. We have started to identify optimization zones in our implemented wireless network landscape right now, covering approximately one hundred access points, distributed over different office building floors.
We are really satisfied with the usability of this analyzing software. Although NetSpot provides extensive and precise online support, the client software with its three general function modes is easy to understand, easy to manage, even if you have IT network related know how. After a view function checks, an office building project with relevant office floor analyzing zones, based on available office architecture maps, was created. All relevant aliases of our wireless network components were listed according to NetSpot specifications and then easily imported for analyzing transparency.
You can get fast results about radio signal coverage in Survey Mode, which can give you a very first indication what is going on in your wireless office environment – just from signal reception perspective. But you need to know, that you are talking about a snapshot, which needs to be further analyzed, even in case you think, you have already detected an anomaly area, were radio signal coverage and download bandwidth are not enough for your wireless network clients.
Collaboration with somebody managing the network, being able to change access point signal strength is helpful. So, after a handful of fine granular measuring rounds, based on different signal strength and a comparison of the related heatmaps, it is now easy to identify or confirm “anomaly” signal strength in office sections. These are the areas, were changing the radio signal strength of available access points nearby is not effective and signal or download bandwidth remains on a low “dBm” or “Mbit/s” level. Here we have the position, which can trigger access point test mounting, to confirm an additional future implementation position – just measure again, move or fix the access point – Great!
Our radio network architecture was professionally simulated before implementation of the planned access points. But building architecture changes, department or workplace removals, setup of new conference rooms or cabinets inevitably lead to changes in Wi-Fi reception quality. These signal quality effects need to be detected and compensated depending on their strength.
Now we can really manage and optimize our wireless network architecture and make wireless visible! So, Survey Mode is king for us – Planning Mode to be evaluated in the future.
Very Good!!
NetSpot is easy to learn and intuitive. Had no issues.
Your Software is very good and simple to use.
NetSpot contains everything you need for professional WLAN analysis. And it's available at a very fair price.
Very easy and power tool. it helped us design a very complicated wireless network under 19 hours. 6 floors, 200 rooms. we found the weak spots easily and placed our access point where it should be to be more effective . After 20 years of experience, I can say this is the first time I am fully satisfied with my wireless network design. I didn’t have to guess or do much of trial and error to get what the client needed
Software has amazing user interface and powerful features. The new update improved already great visuals and usability. Reports generated within the software are well organized. Highly recommended!
I have used a few of these types of software in my field before, but Nunn has matched the efficiency and ease of use of Netspot.
Being able to generate heat Maps that show actual throughput testing as well to give to clients is a game changer and instills a supreme amount of confidence in the network itself from the client.
For someone who has to design a network on houses that are one to 2 years away from being built – planning is amazing and helps show how each material affects the signal to the clients.
Great software, great support and it just works.
I’ ve bought netspot to plan the renewal of our accesspoints in our numerous branches.
I didn’ have a specific accesspoint, so i contacted the customer support. After I told them which accesspoint was needed, they’ ve added it after a day. Now i’ m planning and it works great.
I have been using NetSpot to create heatmaps, as one of the first steps to upgrading our Wi-Fi network. It’s really easy to use, produces accurate results and you can’t beat it for the price!
