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.

A vast solution with user-friendly features and reasonable pricing
It is very scalable. You can easily increase the payers in the license activation. If you have any issues, the IxChariot host system can be rebooted. We currently have about 100 setups in our lab. Out of those 100 setups, around 90 are being used. So overall, 90% of the setups use a minimum of 10 paces where we test the range versus rate. In addition, we are building up several test bits, which will increase the usage. No maintenance is required for this solution unless the host system has a problem. Once IxChariot is installed, it automatically updates if you set it to auto-update.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like Auvik's mapping. Your home dashboard has a map view where you can see potential issues on the endpoints. If an AP or switch has a problem, you can drill down into those to see how it's affecting the endpoints."
"I love that Auvik can automatically back up the configuration of switches and firewalls."
"Auvik gives us better insights into network device performance, so we can proactively catch issues before they become serious problems."
"I would rate Auvik Network Management (ANM) a solid nine out of ten."
"One of the benefits is the insights into the network."
"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."
"The ability to map out the network topology is one of the top features I like about Auvik. It's one of the best on the market. They have a feature called Loopback Detection, which has helped us, in many scenarios easily detect that without having to physically go to the location to see if there is a loopback somewhere."
"The solution allows us to spend less time on setup and maintenance and less time on issue resolution."
"Implementing IxChariot is very easy and user-friendly."
"Active testing of network infrastructure with a central server and an easy-to-use GUI, automatic test endpoint registration, and predefined scenarios for real-world traffic including many VoIP types makes this solution very powerful for our environment."
 

Cons

"Auvik's network map, while helpful, could benefit from improved clarity."
"Getting remotely connected to managed devices could be a little bit smoother. Sometimes, it's a little bit cumbersome trying to do that. If they could streamline the facilitating of remote connections to network devices, that would be an improvement."
"There are spots in the interface that could use a little more work as it is congested with a lot of information in one spot."
"They can implement a more collective network mapping to help reduce any congestive features. When it came down to many of the companies we worked with, their networks were already pre-structured, so we didn't have as much congestion. Given the fact that I could see how that would be an issue, maybe there would be a better way they could collapse or compile the network mapping issues."
"Because we can't monitor as we would like, we aren't introducing anything more to the platform at the moment."
"I require the monitoring of Linux devices and it doesn't support them."
"Another issue is that to use Auvik you have to have a dedicated machine, either a virtual or Windows machine."
"Recently, the map performance has become incredibly slow, even for small maps. For example, simply changing a device type can take up to five or ten minutes to reflect the change."
"Automatization of multiple test scenarios is now only possible from the API."
"The graphical user interface needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is very good."
"The pricing seems fairly competitive with what may be out there. We haven't looked around too much, but the pricing is very reasonable."
"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."
"It seems that the pricing is a little higher than some of the other solutions, but it also offers more value and data."
"It's priced fairly, avoiding any underestimation of its value."
"Auvik tends to be on the pricier side."
"Auvik is a cost-efficient solution for the applications we use it for."
