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.

Beneficial AI detection, helpful support, but modern UI needed
The initial setup of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System requires a bunch of steps starting with installing the hardware and setting it up. However, most of the setup is done by the vendor. I rate the initial setup of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System an eight out of ten. The vendor provides free training in the software provided.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have just been really impressed with the quality of the product, support, and training."
"As a cloud-based solution, Auvik is reliable and easy to use."
"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."
"We just have a SaaS platform, we pay our fee, and it does exactly what it says it will do."
"Auvik is phenomenal for network monitoring as well as for other functionalities such as remote access or backups."
"I like Auvik's alerts. We can configure the alerts for a specific timeframe, i.e., we can set it to alert us when devices have been offline for a specific amount of minutes. If a device or port is flapping, we can ignore it or allow only the first alert to come in and mute the subsequent alerts."
"I like the way everything can be integrated. Auvik uses SMNP and various protocols to ensure we can monitor any device on the network."
"The cloud monitoring portion of Auvik that provides visibility into each piece of my infrastructure is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of the Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System are the AI detection and monitoring of common threats."
"One or two people can maintain and support the solution. The maintenance is not difficult."
 

Cons

"Auvik Network Management (ANM) can be improved with real-time troubleshooting and logs alerts, as it should provide real-time monitoring and logs alerts to help me perform actions immediately, along with the feature of automatic configuration backup, so I do not have to take backups of firmware and policies manually."
"It would be cool if they came out with an app, but running the browser isn't bad."
"I'd like to be able to deep dive more into the reporting. The reporting is still being scaled and built out and I would love to see some additional products being added to the stack. For example, Auvik covers certain types of firewalls, but I would like to see more enterprise stuff added to the stack."
"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 would prefer a simplified dashboard in Auvik Network Management (ANM) because it can be challenging for new users to interpret all the provided data."
"I don't like how Auvik handles their multi-site and site terminology compared to other tools."
"The one thing that I need more help with is the networking of virtualization hosts. I need more information on those hosts and which virtual networks are attached to what, the virtual switches that are in there, and how they function. None of that exists currently."
"Some of the automation pieces for discovery still need a little bit more improvement."
"The UI dashboard view needs to be improved because it is ugly. If it was more modern it would be better. Additionally, better integration with other databases would be good."
"Hillstone I-Series Server Breach Detection System can improve by having more anti-spam features that will hopefully eliminate all of the other threats."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Auvik charges based on the number of network devices being used."
"Auvik's pricing falls within an acceptable range for us."
"I believe the product is fairly priced, but I would consider it a better value if it were improved in certain areas."
"Pricing for Auvik Network Management is genuine. I would categorize its pricing as good."
"I don't have any insight into the cost, as another department handles that."
"The price for Auvik is affordable."
"The pricing of Auvik is good. If it could be less, that would be even better, but as long as they offer free devices, that is great."
"Auvik Network Management is moderately priced."
"The price of the solution is good. It is less expensive than the other solutions in the market. There are not any additional features or hidden costs."
