    Aviatrix
    This product offers simple ways to manage network routing between public cloud, on-prem, and external network. It has built-in options to secure network traffic, as well as option to direct traffic to 3rd party security products for a more advanced traffic inspection. The core function works and is easy to operate. On the other hand, I am unable to give it more than 7-star because some useful features are lacking. This includes lack of customization in email alerting, IPS policy management, and temproarily admin-down of an established site to site VPN connection.

    • If you are on a budget, this is one heck of a tool for the price (including the ~$200/year for the Pro subscription).
    • If you are OK with maintaining and updating open source tools, this is a great tool.
    • If you are afraid of the Linux command line or live in a Windows-centric world, this might not be the tool for you.
    • If you can't stand things occasionally not working, this is probably not a good fit.

    Pros
    Aviatrix
    • With a few very easy steps to establish routing between AWS VPC
    • Easy procedures to establish site to site VPN connection with external parties.
    • Provide network access control on routing traffic using its own build-in firewall inspection or directing traffic to 3rd party NGFW for full stack inspection.

    Cons
    Aviatrix
    • It lacks of ways to admin-down an established site to site VPN connections is one of the short coming.
    • In network traffic inspection, it lacks options to customize the IPS function is another short coming.
    • While the product allows lots of email alerting options, it lacks ways to customize the alerting email messages and ways to suppress alert flooding.

    The core function of the product works very well. It really makes network traffic management easy in public clound, as well as crossing different public and private cloud platform.

    It's open source. Your mileage may vary. Sometimes the provided documentation is beyond frustrating, other times it's right on the mark.

    We initially tried using the native routing funcitons in AWS (transit gateway) and in Azure (virtual network). While those native options worked, it became difficult to opeate when we tried to impose security inspection on the routing traffic. This leads us to the Aviatrix solution.

    I haven't used other products that are similar to Observium. Observium is an open tool, with a robust feature set. There are elements of comparable monitoring across other tools, but nothing I've seen that is a complete parallel in terms of feature set and visualizations. If I were asked, I wouldn't have another tool to recommend over Observium.

    Return on Investment
    Aviatrix
    • Reduce labor hours for network admin to manage public clound network routing policy.
    • Build-in security features may be good enough for small/medium size companies, and thus saving money from full funciton NGFW solution.
    • The Cost-IQ feature enable one to capture traffic volume of each VPC. This provides one way for the enterprise to perform cost charge back to various business funcitons at the VPC level.
