It was capable of handling all those clients perfectly.
Windows & Network System Administrator
We keep adding sites into Auvik Network Management, and it doesn't seem to affect performance or anything on our end.

Room For Improvement

Auvik needs better customization, automation, and integration for improved reporting, alerting, and user-friendly network management and visualization.
Catchpoint needs improvements in setup, user experience, navigation, API integration, pricing models, and international monitoring for better efficiency.
Auvik Network Management (ANM) does not have server monitoring and server hardware monitoring, which LogicMonitor has, and these features make me continue to use LogicMonitor.
Network Administrator at i-level automatisering
When I have a new engineer on my team, I tell them to look at the topology, which is the network topology there. There is no need to draw with draw.io or Visio.
Senior Network Infrastructure Engineer at TIGER LOGIC
We were unable to integrate Auvik with a geographical map, which limited our ability to track issues to specific buildings on campus.
Network Specialist at a university with 10,001+ employees
This is one area where I would like to see improvement in the tool because many applications nowadays use multi-factor authentication, and Catchpoint does lag a bit in providing the end-to-end synthetic observability for applications dependent on MFA.
Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
If we could receive similar data for the China market as we do for North America and Asia Pacific, this would be helpful.
Technical Consultant Project Lead at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees
There is no auto-tuning for alerts, so auto-tuning features for alerts would be beneficial.
Support Engineer at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
 

Setup Cost

Auvik's pricing per network device is flexible, scalable, and valued for its features, despite being considered expensive by some.
Catchpoint pricing varies and is consumption-based, favoring large enterprises but can be costly for smaller organizations.
The setup is very straightforward, and the pricing is not high, making it easily affordable for new startups or small firms.
Software Engineer at Titanslab Inc.
Auvik is pricey, and we were paying a lot for it, especially when compared to SolarWinds.
Network Specialist at a university with 10,001+ employees
The pricing for Auvik Network Management (ANM) is great; it is comparable to other solutions, and for what it does, it actually provides more value for the money than some of the other major competitors.
Technician at Plainfield High School
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that the pricing is good, and the licensing is also good.
Product Specialist at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
There is always a need to negotiate a bit more to get the best cost for the licenses we plan to buy.
Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
you just need to buy the licenses, and the team sends you the license keys, which is pretty easy.

Catchpoint helps us detect issues before anybody could report them, which can impact clients because it provides prior monitoring that also sees outside the infrastructure.

Out of those features, the hop-by-hop breakdown of BGP peers is the one that made the biggest difference in my work because I have not seen this feature in others.
Manager, Observability Automation & Service Operations at a tech vendor with 5,001-10,000 employees
The alerting functionality in Catchpoint provides value. We configure thresholds for response times and failures so that our operations team could be notified whenever authentication failed, APIs became unavailable, or page performance degraded beyond acceptable limits.

Featured Reviews

AmanThakkar - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Engineer at Titanslab Inc.
Network automation has reduced troubleshooting time and supports faster issue resolution
The biggest and best feature I have experienced with Auvik Network Management (ANM) is automatic network discovery, along with features such as topology map, instant alerts, real-time monitoring, easy remote access, and simple dashboards. Among those features, I find automatic network discovery to be the most useful because it gives a clear picture of the entire network without having to create manual diagrams. It is very easy to use Auvik Network Management (ANM), so even a new team member can quickly understand the network because everything is displayed in a very clear way. Auvik Network Management (ANM) has positively impacted our organization by reducing troubleshooting time, improving network visibility, providing a very clear picture, and helping us support multiple client networks and environments very efficiently. We have noticed a 35 to 40% improvement in troubleshooting speed, less manual work in documenting any network system, faster responses to network issues, and better uptime with the client networks.

Observability Architect at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Proactive synthetic monitoring has reduced major incidents and provides global user experience insights
One thing that is not available is the multi-factor authentication feature concerning monitoring any applications. If an application depends upon MFA for its login flow, Catchpoint doesn't have the ability to bypass or monitor that flow for multi-factor authentication. This is one area where I would like to see improvement in the tool because many applications nowadays use multi-factor authentication, and Catchpoint does lag a bit in providing the end-to-end synthetic observability for applications dependent on MFA. This is one of the major areas needing improvement. Otherwise, Catchpoint has been one of the greatest tools in the synthetic monitoring or digital experience monitoring space, and I don't see anything else right now, but MFA is something that certainly needs some improvement.
