What is the best WiFi survey & analyzer app on Mac?

Hello Apple Community,

I've been tasked by my supervisor to identify areas with weak WiFi signal strength within our workspace. I'm in search of an application compatible with macOS that can map out WiFi coverage, clearly delineating the zones with strong and weak signal reception. My experience in this area is limited, so I'm turning to this knowledgeable community for recommendations. Ideally, I'm looking for something akin to a WiFi analyzer that includes a WiFi survey feature. Could anyone suggest a few options that could assist with this task?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

As far as I know, there are two major players in the market: NetSpot and Ekahau. NetSpot is affordable and geared towards less demanding users. Ekahau, on the other hand, is designed exclusively for professionals and costs $10,000+, yes, you heard that right! So, if you have a small office, then choosing NetSpot is a no-brainer. For something more precise and functional, consider Ekahau.
