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.

The solution is useful for monitoring network devices, but the interface is old-fashioned
The solution is useful for monitoring network devices We use it for up-and-down monitoring features. It’s an old solution. It has an old-fashioned interface. The product must provide a compliance testing feature. I have been using the solution for six years. I rate the tool’s stability a ten…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's worth every penny that you pay for it."
"Auvik Network Management (ANM) contributes to saving my team's time in network management tasks by 40% on top of what we have."
"Auvik stands out for its ability to combine network and per-port traffic inspection with log aggregation and data flow analysis in a single platform."
"It also automatically updates network topology. Once it discovers something new, and we allow it, it will update it within the interface. Then, when you log in to the cloud, it shows it. It's kinds of neat. It shows you exactly where things connect. We can see and connect the dots."
"Auvik allows me to filter by network elements, so I can get a quick glance at a customer's infrastructure without looking through handmade diagrams. It provides me with an overview of how everything is laid out. From there, I can really drill down into individual inventories and switch ports. For example, I can determine what the issue is, but I don't need to be on the premises and log into customer equipment. It saves a lot of time."
"It's simplified tasks and made things easier."
"It works superbly. It has made my job a lot easier. It made me understand networks so much better and more quickly too."
"The ability to put in individualized SNMP checks that might not be in the automated playbook is a valuable feature."
"The solution is useful for monitoring network devices."
"It is highly customizable and can be integrated well with third-party software."
"This is a product that I can recommend."
"Our customers like this product due to the fact that it's quite simple and it can be integrated with other solutions that complement and complete each other."
"The network monitoring feature, especially, stands out to me."
"I have found that it has a good GUI and user-friendly administration."
"Network tracking is the most valuable feature of Network Analyzer."
"The initial setup is easy."
 

Cons

"Auvik Network Management (ANM) could be improved with a little more proactive tuning of alerts."
"I want to see improvements to the interface, as it's data-heavy and challenging to navigate. This makes it harder to delegate and have junior staff look around and figure out the solution. A more straightforward interface would be a welcome improvement, whether by making it cleaner or more intuitive."
"Most of the issues that I have had are related to the dashboard and wanting a bit more customization available through the dashboard because that's where you'll spend most of your time. Auvik is on the dashboard, and you can create and save these filters, which is great, but if I were to filter the map by all switches, the information below doesn't reflect the filter. I have to select the device within the filter, and then it starts to show the results. I can then see the dashboard of that device. If I were to filter by switches, I would like my top device utilization to only show me switches from my alerts and anything related to my map filter."
"The interface is good yet could be improved. There are many elements that could be changed in the interface itself."
"It is not at all cheap. We migrated to Domotz because of its pricing."
"Some of the discovery methodologies could be improved upon. It removes the device that is offline, but when that gets added back, if there is any custom information saved for that device, such as it's a smartphone, you have to change and reenter the information all over again. It would be nice to not have to manually modify certain devices that get added to the network."
"The solution can improve by increasing the tech file management capability."
"If there was a way to do some sort of remote desktop control for endpoints from Auvik, that would be an interesting feature because we have another product that we use for endpoint control to remote into somebody's computer. If Auvik had that, we might move from the other tool into the product that Auvik would offer."
"It has an old-fashioned interface."
"They need to have some automation models embedded in them."
"The graphics and reports can be a little bit better."
"The bandwidth for its front-end version needs enhancement."
"Nagios Network Analyzer should integrate an application monitoring solution to monitor application bandwidth usage."
"There is room for improvement on the setup side."
"I think the reports can be improved. They're adopted."
"It's very hard to install materials. You need a lot of documentation. They should make it easier to install and configure the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Auvik is okay. It is appropriate for the market."
"If you're a small company, Auvik is probably quite reasonable. But we've got 500 servers, so pricing suddenly became a lot more of an issue. There needs to be better bulk pricing for it."
"I can't speak to the cost; I'm an engineer. Auvik has a subscription-based pricing option, and the other solution we evaluated had high upfront costs."
"Auvik Network Management is moderately priced."
"Auvik is a cost-efficient solution for the applications we use it for."
"Auvik charges based on the number of network devices being used."
"While their pricing aligns with competitors, the benefit of having these additional devices monitored for free makes Auvik a compelling option."
"Among the products considered, Auvik stood out for its competitive pricing."
"I rate Nagios Network Analyzer's pricing a six out of ten."
"The solution is cost-efficient."
"They charge around ten thousand per month for one thousand nodes. That is their overall cost, but it differs on which company you are applying to, whether you are a service provider or an enterprise."
