CableFi vs NetAlly AirMagnet
AirMagnet Survey is a long-standing Wi-Fi survey and planning tool. CableFi is the business platform around the survey engagement, not a survey capture tool.
The verdict
Use both. They serve different jobs.
Choose NetAlly AirMagnet if
Wireless engineers using classic AirMagnet workflows.
CableFi, on screen
AP drops on the plan, then the job.
Place AP drops and home each one to its IDF; the RF survey itself stays in your survey tool, or ours.
