The verdict

Many integrators pair the two: draw in System Surveyor, run the business in CableFi.

Choose CableFi if

LV/security integrators who want CRM through field on one platform.

Choose System Surveyor if

Teams who spend most days doing device layouts on floor plans with a symbol library.

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.

See PathFinder

PathFinder on a sample office floor: each access point takes two CAT6A numbers from SW-01 in IDF-1, both routed along the corridor tray.
