There are times when we inherit issues from whatever company we acquire, and deploying Auvik Network Management on a site and having it map everything that it can find and pull down all of the configuration is absolutely amazing for network discovery.

Most importantly, I would say the best thing it did was just provide alerts when something goes down.

Customer support could be better, as I mentioned earlier. I haven't had to reach out for a while, but when I have, it took a minute to get to someone who could help or who knew what I was talking about.

However, when we have a lot of equipment on-site, the map is very big, and the results show at the bottom, requiring us to scroll down and compare results, which is a problem depending on the screen size; I sometimes need to crop the map or results.

Its integration with IT Glue is absolute garbage. I would never recommend it to anybody who utilizes IT Glue.
