AirMagnet Survey PRO vs TamoGraph Site Survey

AirMagnet Survey PRO is Wi-Fi heatmap and wireless design software for predictive modeling, site surveys, and network verification. Its Planner uses building materials, attenuation areas, and access-point details to estimate quantities and placement for new or existing networks without installing access points first. The software generates coverage heatmaps and supports active, passive, and iPerf surveys on 2.4, 5, and 6 GHz bands, plus data simulation. It can import walls from CAD floor plans and produce customizable reports. PRO adds outdoor surveys, multi-floor analysis, multiple survey reports, network-design verification, and VoWLAN deployment verification. AirMapper surveys from supported NetAlly testers can be used, and Cisco Prime NCS/WCS project exchange is supported. Outdoor results can be exported to Google Earth. The listed PC operating system is 64-bit Windows 11 Pro or Enterprise; MacBook Pro use requires supported Windows through Boot Camp or a virtual machine.

TamoGraph Site Survey analyzes existing Wi-Fi networks and helps plan new wireless deployments. It supports passive, active, predictive, and spectrum surveys, with heat maps for signal levels, interference, access point coverage, data rates, and network issues. The software can locate access points and show their channel, maximum data rate, vendor, and encryption type. Reports can be exported in PDF, HTML, and ODT formats. Supported Wi-Fi standards include 802.11be, 802.11ax, 802.11ac, and legacy standards. Predictive models include access points from Cisco, Aruba, Extreme Networks, and Fortinet; spectrum surveys require compatible USB-based analyzers. TamoGraph is available for Windows and macOS, and Windows requires a compatible wireless network adapter. The Standard license costs $1,499 as a one-time purchase and omits RF modeling, GPS support, and report customization. Pro costs $1,999, paid once. A 30-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
