Compare
Honest comparisons with the tools you already run
SiteOps Command replaces a shelf of point tools with one shared building model. These pages compare capability by capability — what each tool does, what the stack costs you today, and where nothing else has an equivalent.
10 comparisons
Each page leads with what the incumbent tool does well, then shows what changes when the work moves onto one computable model.
vs Ekahau
Standards-grounded Wi-Fi RF on the same model as cameras, A/V, and cabling — with an autonomous virtual site survey instead of a Sidekick truck roll.
vs iBwave
In-building cellular from published standards — and the DAS-versus-Wi-Fi interference that no single-discipline RF tool can see, because it only holds one of the two designs.
vs IPVM Calculator
PPF math is where camera design starts. Add per-camera 3D points of view, fisheye lens models, IR reach from datasheet IR range, and occlusion-aware heatmaps.
vs CCTV Design Tool
A camera overlay in 2D, or camera physics on a building model where the same walls also carry the Wi-Fi, audio, and power design.
vs System Surveyor
A survey drawing describes the site. A computable model proves the coverage — and carries the job from design to as-built to renewal.
vs stitching six tools
The closest equivalent to SiteOps Command is six subscriptions run together — six spatial models, zero shared truth, every change re-keyed.
vs ConnectWise
Where the CRM overlaps: renewals, orders, invoices, and AR — attached to the design record itself instead of re-keyed from it.
vs D-Tools
D-Tools understands the project; this understands the building. Where their business plane wins, and where computed physics does.
vs SiteOwl
SiteOwl runs an installed security estate for a decade. This engineers the system that gets installed — coverage computed, not documented.
vs CAD & spreadsheets
The real incumbent for most teams. Where a drawing tool plus Excel genuinely wins, and the one structural weakness that gets costlier with scale.
How we compare
Three rules govern every page in this section. They exist so a comparison you read here survives your own diligence.
Capability, not benchmarks
We compare what each tool does. We publish no accuracy claims against any competitor — no independent measured-vs-computed benchmark exists yet, and we will not invent one.
Their prices, not ours
Dollar figures on these pages are published ranges for tools buyers already run — a statement of your current spend, never of SiteOps Command pricing. Ours is published per seat at /pricing/.
Physics owns every number
Coverage figures are computed by deterministic engines from real manufacturer datasheets and named standards. SOC never invents the numbers — it researches, suggests, and explains.
The coverage physics, in depthWhat the point-tool stack costs today
Published ranges as documented in April 2026 for tools this platform consolidates — your current spend, not our price. Tools without a published range are compared on capability alone.
- $4–12K/yr
- Ekahau
- Wi-Fi design subscription
- $3K+
- Ekahau Sidekick
- Survey hardware, plus the truck roll to carry it
- $5–15K
- AFMG EASE
- Audio modeling (Focus 3 is free)
- $2–5K/yr
- ConnectWise
- CRM & documentation (Salesforce: $3–15K/yr)
Frequently asked questions
Why don’t you publish accuracy comparisons against Ekahau or other tools?
Because no independent measured-vs-computed benchmark exists yet, and we refuse to invent one. What we publish instead is the basis of every number: named standards — ITU-R P.2040, P.526, and P.1238 for RF, IEC 62676-4 DORI for cameras, IEC 60268-16 and AVIXA DISCAS for A/V — and real manufacturer datasheets, computed by deterministic engines.
Are the competitor prices on these pages official quotes?
No. They are published ranges for what teams typically spend on those tools today, and your contracts may differ. They are never a statement of SiteOps Command pricing, which is published per seat at /pricing/.
Do I have to replace every tool at once?
No. Most teams start with one discipline — camera coverage or Wi-Fi design — and expand as the shared model earns its keep. Nothing about the platform requires ripping out your service desk or accounting stack.
What actually makes SiteOps Command different from the tools it replaces?
One shared building model. Walls, glass, racking, and zones are modeled once, and every discipline — Wi-Fi RF, camera optics, audio, cabling, electrical — computes from the same geometry and real manufacturer datasheets. Change a wall material and the affected engines re-compute. Fragmented tools each keep their own model, so every change is re-keyed into each of them.
