Auvik Network Management (ANM) Reviews

I work at a university, and we use Auvik to check the school's network and ensure it works properly. Auvik covers all of our network devices, such as firewalls and servers. It doesn't generate many tickets daily—about three to five. Our schools have about 12,000 students and 10 members on our IT team spread through Melbourne and Sydney.

Auvik's reporting is pretty useful. It helps us conduct traffic analysis. I like how you can integrate your firewall systems and incorporate devices in different parts of the country. You can access all the devices under your licenses in your domain. Auvik's GUI has an intuitive design. It's pretty easy to use. The network map and dashboards offer a real-time picture of our network.

When we face network issues, Auvik creates an alert in our ticketing system. We log into our account, and it shows where the error or threat is happening. We can run an antivirus or react to the threat however we want.

The menu bar and display could be more colorful.

We have used Auvik for two or three months.

I rate Auvik eight out of 10 for stability. We get some bugs and errors, but they aren't serious. 

I rate Auvik eight out of 10 for scalability. Auvik appears to be pretty scalable.

I rate Auvik support eight out of 10.

Positive

I don't know precisely what Auvik charges the college, but it's probably reasonable because they have used Auvik for a long time. 

I rate Auvik Network Management eight out of 10. 

I work for an MSP and manage networks for a couple of clients. We use Auvik to monitor their network devices and make configuration changes as needed. When a network device goes offline, we get an alert and we can respond to it accordingly.

Auvik improves our visibility and enables us to monitor more proactively. We can identify if devices or links are approaching their configured capacity. For example, we can set alerts if bandwidth utilization is over 90 percent or if CPU is extremely high, allowing us to take action before the users notice a drop in performance.

We started seeing benefits the moment Auvik was deployed on a customer's network. You immediately start seeing devices, including some devices you didn't know were there. Auvik helps our NOC see issues and resolve them. They know what's connected to what. It helps them and reduces the number of cases escalated to senior network resources. Due to this, we can focus on bigger projects because the NOC technicians can see the issues in many cases.

Auvik has reduced our resolution time because it has the maps and the configuration backups. Some issues that would typically take hours to resolve could be resolved in 15 minutes or less. We can revert to the old configuration, and everything starts working again. It saves a lot of time. 

I like Auvik's configuration backups. When a configuration change occurs, it automatically updates the configuration in Auvik. If something stops working, we can roll back to the previous configuration. That's very helpful.

Auvik's interface is pretty easy to use. You should be good to go after playing around with it for a few hours. You can find what you need easily. It isn't rocket science. Auvik's ease of use makes troubleshooting faster because we can easily see what we need to see. All the alerts are in one place. I don't find it difficult to achieve real-time visibility with Auvik because I am familiar with the solution. Also, I took an Auvik course about five or six months ago, so I know how it works.

The network map offers a real-time picture of your network if you include the correct credentials. It's pretty smart and can draw a decent map of the network. However, it doesn't work as well for more complex clients. The network map is a little messy. 

Having this visibility is critical for a network specialist. When we're troubleshooting, the first thing we need to know is how it's all connected. If you don't know how it's connected, you won't be able to solve the problem. 

We have a firewall with devices behind it. When that firewall goes offline, we get alerts for it and the 10 devices behind it. There should be a way to set up a dependency so that when the firewall goes down, Auvik bundles it up and sends it at the same time. That would reduce the noise in our email. We don't want to get 11 alerts because one firewall went down. We just want one alert saying that all the devices under the firewall are also offline.

I'd like to see device response times and packet losses. Auvik monitors these metrics for internet links, but I would also like to see this for devices within the network. 

We have used Auvik for 14 to 16 months.

We have some devices that Auvik has gotten configurations from previously, but it stops working for some reason. Auvik stops receiving SysLog messages from devices. We still haven't fixed this issue because we haven't had time to drill down and figure out why it's happening.

Auvik should have about 1,500 devices, and you will see performance impacts after around 15,000. The performance will be very slow, and it takes time to load.

I rate Auvik support nine out of 10. Their support team is pretty responsive and quick to help. You can click on a chat button inside Auvik to open a ticket. That's pretty convenient.

Positive

I've used a couple of solutions, including SolarWinds and PRTG. SolarWinds has some nice features. You can push configurations to all devices in your network simultaneously. I don't think I've seen that in Auvik.

The setup went smoothly. Once you install the collector, it discovers everything in the network. Deploying Auvik can take up to a month. We installed Auvik on a data server accessible everywhere on the network. You need a server that can reach all the subnets. We gave it some time to discover the network and manually added any devices that it didn't find.  After deployment, we need to do some maintenance on the server where Auvik is installed, but there's nothing specific to Auvik. 

Some of our clients who weren't interested in Auvik changed their minds after talking to other clients and seeing the benefits they've received. It saves a lot of time, giving us more time to focus on critical issues and not worry about the product. It's very solid once it's set up.

I rate Auvik seven out of 10. I recommend simplifying your network as much as possible. The map can be messy when a network is unnecessarily complex. Auvik struggles to bring the connections up correctly. 

We used Auvik to monitor the networks of our two separate companies. Each company operates on its large network, with approximately 100 to 150 employees.

We implemented Auvik for better visibility of the network.

The intuitiveness of the interface was good. It was not that hard to use.

The network map offers a real-time view of our entire network. Gaining real-time visibility is simple by using the network map and dashboard. We can start by navigating from the top level of the network down to specific elements we're interested in. Alternatively, we can select a specific network segment from the left-hand column for a more focused view.

While Auvik would have provided us with complete visibility into our network, our reliance on rented switches limited our control and prevented them from functionalities like syslog.

We saw the benefits of Auvik as soon as it was deployed.

Auvik helps us reduce our mean time to resolution for network connectivity issues. When a device is unexpectedly disconnected, Auvik can pinpoint the problem quickly. This is especially helpful for troubleshooting complex issues, like a downed VPN.

The most valuable feature of Auvik is its ability to drill down and identify unusual activity on the network, such as unauthorized devices connecting to our Wi-Fi.

One drawback I found with Auvik was its inability to generate clear network diagrams. The connection lines appeared messy, and devices weren't grouped logically. In contrast, HP OpenView, which I used previously, produced well-organized network maps.

I have been using Auvik for 3 years.

Auvik was stable with no crashes or downtime.

Scaling Auvik was easy because it integrates with Discovery. We were able to collect syslogs from controllable devices like firewalls, but Auvik would likely perform even better in an environment where we have control over the switches as well.

In the past, we used HP OpenView. It consisted of two very different programs. Our current solution, which we've been using for some time now, allows for remote connections to machines and collaboration with users. This functionality was absent in Auvik, which would have been a valuable addition. With our current system, we can simply right-click on a machine and initiate a remote connection through tools like Screen Connect or Splashtop.

Auvik was a very good network mapping tool. However, the lines on the map could sometimes be misaligned, making it difficult to understand the network layout. Additionally, a major limitation of Auvik was the lack of remote control functionality. Ideally, the tool would allow administrators to look up a user and connect to their machine's file controller while on the phone with the user for troubleshooting purposes.

Deploying Auvik as a virtual machine is surprisingly easy. We download the template, import it into VMware, and it configures itself automatically.

I completed the deployment in a couple of days.

The implementation was completed in-house.

While Auvik's pricing was attractive, we ultimately had to make budget cuts. After evaluating our various solutions, Auvik was not the best fit for our current needs.

I would rate Auvik 9 out of 10.

Auvik has the potential to reduce the time spent on setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting. While we didn't fully utilize it for that purpose, it could have offered some benefits. However, we ultimately decided to discontinue using Auvik because it lacked features available in our other tools, creating some redundancy.

No maintenance was required on our end.

Auvik offers a demo program. You simply load and install the provided VM template. I can't recall the exact length of the demo period, but I highly recommend trying it out.

It provides comprehensive visibility into your network infrastructure, automates network mapping, sends timely alerts for potential issues, and facilitates configuration management. With Auvik, you can receive notifications directly, ensuring you stay informed about the health and performance of your network.

When I integrated Auvik, the primary goal was to uncover issues that might be occurring without my awareness. Essentially, I wanted to identify potential problems before they escalated to a point where I became aware of them, often when it was already too late. I sought early warnings for network issues to proactively address and mitigate them.

It provides an intuitive interface, supporting ease of use, and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I grasped it. The installation process was swift, and their team proved exceptionally helpful in offering expert guidance on setup and addressing any specific product configurations. Most elements were pre-configured, requiring minimal adjustments. Auvik efficiently scanned and identified network components, generating a comprehensive map crucial for my PCI compliance needs—all accomplished within a day.

The network map and the dashboard provide a near real-time snapshot of my network—about as real-time as I could expect. The system regularly pulls device information, the frequency of which is customizable based on alert settings. This flexibility is advantageous, especially when it comes to specific devices like credit card readers. If immediate notification of issues is crucial, Auvik ensures it is delivered.

The user-friendliness of the network map is contingent on the size of your network. A larger screen is advisable for extensive networks as it encompasses a comprehensive view. Managing a complex network might require some manual manipulation of the map to focus on specific areas. Alternatively, you can utilize the search feature, which proves efficient. Whether you prefer a manual approach or a quick search, both options are available. The search function allows you to easily select a category and device, promptly highlighting the desired item on the map.

It significantly reduced my meantime to resolution. Initially, I was unaware of certain issues within the network, and upon discovering them, I felt a sense of urgency to address multiple problems. However, once these issues were resolved, I gained confidence in the system's ability to alert me promptly to any future issues, providing a proactive approach to network management.

The most valuable aspect, primarily for a solo IT practitioner like myself, is its simplicity in setup. This was a significant factor that led me to choose it. The appeal lies in the unified dashboard, providing a single view encompassing all aspects of my network. The decision was driven by the ease of use—setting up reporting and alerts was straightforward without the need for complex coding or intricate configurations. It served its purpose precisely as designed, meeting my requirements effortlessly.

A notable feature is the ability to filter out static elements, allowing me to focus solely on what matters. Initially, I appreciated the panoramic view as my network unfolded on the map. From there, I could selectively identify areas of interest and importance. Auvik facilitated this process by enabling me to set up alerts for specific aspects, promptly notifying me of any relevant occurrences.

One enhancement I'd appreciate is the ability to configure the network map based on specific criteria. It would be valuable if Auvik allowed users to customize their view, defining what elements they want to see consistently. For example, configuring the map to display only printers in a retail store upon launching Auvik would streamline the process, eliminating the need to filter down the entire network map each time. Implementing a configurable dashboard for the network map would enhance user experience in this regard.

I have been using it for approximately two years.

When it comes to stability, there was an initial issue where one of my servers, set up to handle scanning and reporting, experienced a service interruption. The service would stop, requiring manual restarts. However, upon investigation, it was identified as a configuration problem, which was promptly addressed and resolved. Since then, the system has been stable without any further disruptions.

In terms of scalability, Auvik conducts a network scan. If you expand your network size, the system automatically identifies new devices and seamlessly integrates them into its operations.

Accessing tech support and raising an issue through the ticketing system was a seamless process. The challenges I encountered were device-specific, particularly with some Cisco devices that weren't configured correctly for Auvik utilization. Their tech support team was well-versed in addressing such issues. Initiating a ticket involved a simple phone call, and the response time, although not immediately critical, was reasonable. The overall process was straightforward and relatively easy to navigate. I would rate it ten out of ten.

Positive

We utilized a different solution before transitioning to Auvik. However, this shift occurred concurrently with a network upgrade. In my initial role, I developed an access application to generate a map and reports based on raw data, which was suitable for a simpler network. As our network evolved and became more intricate, the initial application became impractical, leading me to experiment with less robust solutions. While these alternatives provided some features, they fell short of the comprehensive functionality Auvik offers. Throughout this exploration, it became evident that Auvik encompassed all the essential aspects I was seeking, consolidating them into a unified platform.

Regarding issue resolution, it heavily relies on the specific device, but the crucial aspect of becoming aware of the issue is indeed present. The setup process was straightforward, and maintaining the system was equally uncomplicated. The programming is well-executed.

The deployment process was completed within a day, and I utilized the assistance provided. Although I believe I could have easily handled it on my own, their proactive help was voluntary—I hadn't requested it. Throughout the process, they were readily available and seemed invested in seeing it come together smoothly within the day. The primary task in setting it up involved opening a port and sharing the necessary network information for them to initiate network scanning.

I recognized its value on the very same day when I witnessed the network map coming to life, devices being detected, and a wealth of information being captured by the system.

While having an all-encompassing network monitoring solution may come at a cost, my initial approach was to seek cost-effective modules and integrate them seamlessly. While it was feasible to assemble and make various modules work together, the maintenance and usage of multiple modules would have been more cumbersome compared to the convenience of accessing a unified dashboard for all monitoring needs.

The pricing is reasonable, neither exceptionally cheap nor excessively expensive—it aligns well with what I anticipated.

Auvik's pricing structure is primarily based on servers, and the monitoring of actual endpoint devices is either included in the server license price or provided at no extra cost. While I'm not certain of the specific details, I have observed that the billing is influenced by new network nodes.

As a product, it is robust, and it's easy to generate comprehensive information. The key learning curve involves understanding how to refine and customize the data it provides, essentially eliminating unnecessary static. For me, the primary task was configuring it to align with my environment and specific use case, tailoring the information to my needs. The ongoing training they offer, with the flexibility to attend sessions at any time, is invaluable. Overall, I would rate it ten out of ten.

We're a managed services provider using Auvik for network management of firewalls and switches. We use several tools alongside Auvik, which we primarily utilize for network mapping and managing communication between switches and firewalls. Our clients are set up on tenants within the solution.

Auvik enables us to make comprehensive network diagrams of the various companies that we manage. It gives us complete visibility into the network infrastructure, but we use an RMM for some of our other items. It doesn't replace the RMM or stuff like antivirus.

Our tier 1 support techs generally do not use Auvik because they're handling basic tasks. Auvik's interface is intuitive, but you need to know what you're seeing. Tier 2 and tier 3 engineers have the understanding needed to delve into the information Auvik provides. 

Auvik has lowered our mean time to resolution. When there are network issues, we can hop on Auvik and quickly see what's happening. It enables us to resolve problems much faster than before. Previously, we were hunting through all the switches, trying to understand the problem on a switch-by-switch basis, but Auvik lets us see precisely what's happening on the entire network.

For example, we were ripping apart an entire server rack yesterday. In the past, we had to manually map each individual port on a switch to where it connected on the other side. Now, we can go into Auvik to grab that information right instead of going to each switch individually or physically mapping this port over to this port on this switch. That can get hard, especially when you're dealing with switches that may or may not be on the same switch rack. Auvik definitely helps out with stuff like that.

We started realizing Auvik's benefits within the first month or so. Some of our more experienced network guys could start taking advantage of Auvik as soon as the network maps started populating. 

I like the information Auvik provides you about switches that helps you troubleshoot connectivity issues between clients and switches. It's much easier to locate where the problem is on the network. We were using N-central for our RMM. Unfortunately, that doesn't map out the switches. It tells us what is up or down but doesn't do a good job of network troubleshooting like Auvik does. 

Auvik's intuitive interface enables us to troubleshoot networks much faster than before. In the past, we were going into a connectivity issue blindly. With Auvik, we can pinpoint exactly where things might be breaking down on the network.

When you remove an item from the network, Auvik puts it off to the side so it stays on the map for a long time. I'd like the ability to completely delete unnecessary items. For example, when you replace a switch, the old one still displays on the map as a disconnected item. It would be nice if you could go in there and remove it from the map. 

Network setups take time regardless of the tool you use. It will always take time to build. I wish you could order Auvik to rescan the network on demand when I make changes. Sometimes, I want the network to scan immediately instead of waiting for it to detect the changes.

I have used Auvik for around six months.

I haven't had issues with stability, but there's a little lag when you make a network change. Sometimes it can take a little while. 

Auvik is highly scalable.

I rate Auvik's support eight out of 10. We've contacted support a couple of times. Once, it would not install the collector properly. It took a little back and forth, but they resolved the issue pretty quickly. 

Positive

We were using Microsoft Visio to create our network maps by hand. When something changed, we had to remember to update the map. Auvik updates the map in real-time when something changes, so you can see it update within minutes. We used that and N-able N-central RMM, which we continue to use, but we've limited our N-central license and started to use Auvik for some of the functions related to switches and firewalls because Auvik gives us a clearer understanding of the network. 

Auvik is a cloud-based solution. It's fairly easy to set up. I handled most of the deployment, but two other people were involved. The setup involves adding all the passwords, SMPs, etc. for the network. 

It takes a little time to fine-tune it. It probably takes around two hours for the average network. It's a little less for the smaller sights, but we had a couple of massive ones that took a while to do. I'm also meticulous, so I want to ensure all the workstations pull correctly and show the right names. After deployment, Auvik doesn't require much maintenance.  Sometimes, we have to update the credentials when we add something new. 

We can identify issues a lot faster and make the cluster work a lot quicker. Previously, a technician could spend hours trying to find the issue. Now, it takes minutes. 

Auvik's pricing is fair overall, but some advanced stuff is a little expensive. I like that the licensing model is based on switches instead of endpoints. We don't use some of the more advanced features because they're a little beyond our price range.  We're using the tool internally, but the expense is passed on to the customer, and the advanced features aren't something that most customers are willing to pay for. 

We had researched Auvik before, and so we already had a prior understanding of what Avid does. It was a matter of convincing the people who pay the bills that this is something they should invest in. There weren't many other solutions that did the same thing, and they were expensive. Auvik has a better price point than some solutions like SolarWinds. Also, SolarWinds is too basic for what we're trying to do. 

I rate Auvik nine out of 10. I'm happy with it and how it works. New users should get training from Auvik and play with it. The best way to learn the solution is to use it and try things. Also, I recommend not turning on all the alerts immediately because you'll get overwhelmed. 

We use it for everything from alerting and monitoring. We have had some use cases where we had to do some forensic type of work and track down devices at locations that were breaking policy and things like that. It was pretty handy because we were able to grab some identifying information from the device, and it took about 15 minutes to figure out where the device had been every day for the last seven days.

Auvik provides an intuitive interface that supports ease of use. We got all of our locations clearly defined. Everything is laid out well and labeled well. Several people know how to use it. It is something that I picked up on pretty quickly.

Auvik's network map along with its dashboard gives a real-time picture of our network. By using the filters, we can filter down to see what we want to see. We can see just the Layer 1 devices. It is very handy. With a couple of clicks, we are done. If we want to monitor WAN interfaces, we add them to the dashboard. If we want to monitor VPN interfaces, we can add them to the dashboard. It is fantastic.

Auvik's network map dashboard gives full network visibility. Whatever you give the collector access to, it takes that apart and dissects every bit of that.

Auvik has empowered our entry-level technicians to solve more tickets on their own. I do not want to give them access to it because it makes things too easy for them and they do not get challenged, but it has definitely helped in closing more tickets faster.

Auvik has absolutely decreased our mean time to resolution. Instead of days of hopping around on switches and hoping that the logs still include some information about something that is pertinent, it now takes minutes.

We can monitor our VMware environment with Auvik at no charge. This is absolutely important for us. It makes the product more important for people outside of my department. I am just worried about the infrastructure. Whatever happens on a server, I do not care, but it makes the product valuable to people outside of my department and the infrastructure team, and they get to reap the reward of having this product in our environment.

Auvik allows us to spend less time on the setup and maintenance of the solution and less time on issue resolution. It very much takes you away from a break/fix to make you more proactive. You do not do as much of a break/fix because you are seeing the warnings and the alerts. You are able to see that you have got a physical issue out there that you need to correct, or you find that you do not have redundancy, whereas you thought you had redundancy. This free time is still focused on security.

The biggest draw for me is the flexibility of being alerted. If something happens with my critical infrastructure, I get real-time alerts on it in Teams. 

For pulling up the devices, the dashboard is a little bit sluggish. I know there is a lot of data, and I am starting to get nitpicky here, but this is the only thing. The dashboard is a little sluggish, and you have to keep the filter on sometimes.

In terms of the things or features that I wish it had or has is the Wi-Fi visibility. They are pulling that into it from their newly acquired product. I am excited about that, and that is the only thing that is missing from the suite. That is a big piece to me. I would like to see that sooner rather than later.

I have been using Auvik for two years.

Any stability-related issues are very infrequent. They have a pretty rigorous maintenance schedule, and they notify you when maintenance is happening. The maintenance windows are pretty short and infrequent as well.

It is enormously scalable.

I never had to contact their support.

We had N-central. I tried to use it, and it was not great. There have been half a dozen that I have tried. They are all okay, but after using Auvik, everything else seems not so good.

We could see Auvik's benefits during the trial. The product that I was using at the time was pretty outdated. I had updated it recently, and I was pretty unhappy with the performance and the feature set that it had even after I updated it. I had inherited the product, but I started looking around immediately. We popped in an OVA for the collector into our VMware environment and had it going. In less than 10 minutes, we were already scanning our network and had more information built out than the product that we had been using for years. 

It is on-premises. I was not involved in its deployment. I handed it off to one of the guys on the infrastructure team. He had the setup instructions, and he added it up in ten minutes. It was pretty straightforward.

In terms of maintenance, it does require maintenance for major release versions. About once a year, we have to deploy a new OVA, but for the most part, it stays up-to-date on its own.

It was all done in-house, and there was just one person. It did not take any time.

It is a little more on the expensive side, but I feel that it is a premium product. It is good.

To those evaluating Auvik, I would advise making sure that they have all the credentials they need before they start the trial for your equipment. Make sure you have SNMP set up, and you are good to go.

I would rate Auvik a nine out of ten.

We manually use Auvik for network monitoring, configuration backups, and syslogs.

We implemented Auvik because we wanted to have a redundant monitoring solution that has a cloud component.

Auvik utilizes a cloud component that centralizes all data collection and aggregation. Additionally, we employ multiple on-premises collectors to gather data from individual devices. Therefore, our deployment will have a collector at each site, supplemented by a secondary collector at our main site. This configuration ensures redundancy and seamless data transmission to the Auvik cloud.

Auvik's intuitive interface is easy to use. The intuitive interface helps accelerate our troubleshooting of network issues due to how the information is presented.

Auvik's network map and dashboard provide a real-time picture of our network.

The network map and dashboard provide easy access to real-time visibility, with alerts and other information conveniently displayed. Clicking "Advanced" allows further exploration of specific alerts and other relevant details. While the display can become crowded when monitoring numerous items, the filtering capabilities effectively manage information overload.

The network map provides full visibility into everything we are monitoring with it and that is extremely important for us.

Auvik empowers our low-level techs to solve more tickets on their own. This has saved our senior techs time to focus on other tasks. The overall number of tickets has been reduced.

It has helped reduce our mean time to resolution.

Auvik allows us to spend less time on setup, maintenance, and resolution.

The traffic insights and the configuration management are the most valuable features. 

The traffic insights are presented effectively, and I appreciate that the analysis runs in the cloud, avoiding the need to overload any specific on-premise hardware. Additionally, the configuration backups appear to be straightforward, facilitating the comparison and refresh of new images on existing devices.

One main feature I would like to see in Auvik is the ability to generate alerts based on specific events appearing in syslog messages.

I have been using Auvik for three years.

Auvik is stable.

The scalability of Auvik is excellent and it scales easily.

The technical support is quite fast and accurate. We only encountered one major issue, but they were able to resolve it promptly. While it took a little longer due to the unusual nature of the problem, it was effectively addressed within a week.

Positive

Previously, we used SolarWinds. However, the configuration and maintenance overhead for Auvik is significantly lower, and Auvik itself is much faster.

The initial deployment was straightforward. We had three people for the deployment but it could be done with one person.

The implementation was completed in-house.

Compared to Auvik's competitors, its pricing is largely in line with SolarWinds. However, the exact cost may be slightly lower or higher depending on how the software is used.

Auvik does not charge for server monitoring, which is a significant cost advantage. If we had to pay for each server individually, the cost would become quite high, depending on the size and complexity of our server environment.

I would rate Auvik a nine out of ten.

Minimal maintenance is required to keep the collector devices up to date.

Before implementing Auvik, organizations should confirm that all devices they intend to monitor are compatible with Auvik's capabilities. This is particularly important for web-based devices, as Auvik may have limitations in monitoring such systems.

We use the solution for networking. If a router or a switch is down, we can look that up very quickly in Auvik Network Management, and then diagnose the problem.

Auvik has a lot of conventions or online meetings where we are explained how a new feature works. We don't need to figure it out ourselves, which saves us a lot of time to know what exactly we need to do to find a specific problem or switch.

Auvik Network Management really helps with the overview of every switch or router in a location. We tried other programs, but they just didn't work the same as Auvik.

Auvik provides an intuitive interface that is quite easy to navigate. It helps a lot because I can quickly diagnose the problem, which saves me a lot of time and a lot of money for the client.

It has empowered our entry-level technicians to solve more tickets on their own. Managers only need to explain the solution once, and then everybody understands how it works. Auvik is a time saver and money saver for everybody. The solution is easy to navigate.

Auvik has helped to decrease our mean time to resolution by five to ten minutes per problem.

The time-to-value is a lot better than that of other solutions. It took about a month from the time of deployment of Auvik for us to realize the time-to-value benefits.

Critical devices in our network are monitored by Auvik at no charge. This free monitoring is important to us because it shows that Auvik cares about us. We can know for sure that if we have a month that doesn't go very well, the critical devices will still be okay.

Auvik allows us to spend less time on the solution's setup and maintenance. It saves a lot of time because the solution's setup is easy. It doesn't require a lot of steps, and you can explain it to an apprentice very easily, which saves much time. We used the time saved to ensure that all the smaller problems were also addressed. We could use the time we saved to ask the clients what they think about this new setup.

The solution's loading time could be improved because when you click on a switch, it usually takes some time before it has everything loaded.

I have been using Auvik Network Management for almost one year.

We haven’t faced any issues with the solution’s stability.

Auvik Network Management is a scalable solution. About ten users use the solution in our organization, and it has about 280 endpoints.

The technical support team's response time is great. Problems are solved very fast, with no long waiting time.

Positive

We previously used Domotz but switched to Auvik Network Management because Domotz didn't have many features. Auvik Network Management's strength is its ease of usability. Auvik's disadvantage is that it sometimes takes a lot of time to load. The solution's setup is very easy, making the loading time acceptable most of the time because you can save a lot of time elsewhere.

Auvik's network map and dashboard usually give us a real-time picture of our network. However, it sometimes takes a long time to load. If I want to look up something, it needs some time to process, which can be frustrating at some point. It's not difficult to use the network map and dashboard to gain real-time visibility into our network, but it sometimes has a waiting time.

We use the SaaS version of the solution. The solution requires almost no maintenance, which saves us time. We have the solution deployed across multiple locations. I would recommend the solution to other users.

Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
