Hello to the group, I know that this has been discussed before, but I'm coming back around to it. I'm intrigued by 7signal.com and see attractive aspects to their approach, but find myself struggling with:
* Pricing- Seems incredibly expensive * What's really being delivered- we are a CleanAir environment, so much of 7Signal would be duplicitous in function, and so far I can't tell all what one is delivering that the other leaves out * What 7Signal expects you to do to optimize- there are locations where APs cannot be moved, there are groups of clients that you are likely not going to easily pin down for driver updates, etc, and only so many system settings you can tweak without creating other issues * Deployment model- given that Eyes themselves need to be cabled, it's not exactly easy in all cases to deploy them and there is no radio backhaul option All of my cynicism aside- is anyone on the list a 7signal user? Any testimonials or thoughts? Thanks very much- Lee Badman Syracuse University ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
