What are the best tools for wifi performance comparison / assurance / monitoring?

What tools are people using to to verify the health and performance of their wireless networks?

Assuming you were evaluating different wifi brands/models/solutions, what tools would you use to measure + compare how well those solutions worked in your environment?
How would you verify that your wifi environment continued to perform well over time?

I'd take a look at the Streetwise platform for Wi-Fi from Epitiro. http://epitiro.com. Vendor-agnostic and scalable.

Thanks for that info.

Primož Marinšek suggested 7signal sapphire.

You're suggesting ipitiro ipQ_WiFi? (soon to be SteetWise WiFi)
http://www.epitiro.com/get-reading/

What experience do you have with that solution?

We've actually got experience of both solutions, having evaluated both in our Labs. Our requirement at the time was focused on a large number of urban high density zones- with a particular need to understand Subscriber QoE - the drivers were Video (such as YouTube) and Social (Facebook, Twitter and others) and consumer focused generally. The 7Signal devices were not as close a fit for us at this time. I cannot go into a lot of detail due to my employment contract but we favored the epitiro one (http://www.epitiro.com/wifi/). I don't see the product documents I've got in that section - maybe you need to make contact for that.

HTH,
