Auvik

Daily monitoring of networks is helped greatly by Auvik. Set up the alerts so that they are tailored to exactly what your business-critical devices report. Alerting to monitor traffic for bottlenecks and find the sources to increase efficiency on the networks. Documentation and training via Auvik are exceptional. The shared collector is not the best for our networks where we have locked down firewall rules. In these instances, I've found it easier to deploy a collector to the site and create rules to allow it access.

I have found that using Auvik to get details of what is in the network environment was the best and most useful part of starting the service. It is handy to have alerts for outages and SNMP devices as well.

Auvik is well suited for any type of network monitoring or inventory collection, where it gives you all of the information that you need, and you get alerted on time to further troubleshoot. This is a perfect solution for managed service providers, where you can add more than one company and manage all of your customers in a single pane of glass.

Auvik is quick to set up and easy to operate so fits very well with small teams that need to be efficient.

we use Auvik to easily manage network equipment for our client's remote sites across the country. Network monitoring and notifications are very handy for knowing when the client is having problems before they impact the client. Automatic configuration backup for network equipment is also saved for our clients when things go wrong.

Auvik provides streamlined alerting out of the box that is clear and easy to read without providing too much information that needs to be parsed down. This tool also helps to consolidate all configuration backs up in one place while providing administrators direct access to terminals to make changes on the fly.

We find Auvik is well suited for smaller networks. Larger networks tend to get cluttered in the dashboard. You can zoom in but the 64,000 foot view can look overwhelming. The ability to filer network segments was eyeopening in the presentation and will be something we will likely start following up on.

Auvik is a great network discovery tool (and long-term network management and auditing tool) for MSPs to use with their customer networks. Auvik allows for a fast and accurate assessment of how many devices are on a network and with a little effort a greater understanding of how their network operates.

We have had the best success using Auvik to map out new customer environments. Oftentimes, we are the first true IT company to service our nonprofit clients, so there is no documentation or proper network configurations. Using Auvik collectors has significantly cut down on manual network discovery processes. The collectors discover subnets, devices, and configurations - often times discovering connected devices the customer wasn't even aware of.

Good at integrating with ticketing systems. Good at initial scans and shooting using NETFLOW

I like that I have access to all of my clients together. I would recommend another MSP. I would not to a small shop with only Meraki.

Great for Monitoring, planning and maintaining an environment. It does take a fair bit of time to set up and can be very daunting for less experienced Engineers to implement or even challenging for a small internal IT to implement. But if you have an experienced L2 this tool can be modified based on what you want to achieve.

Auvik is well suited for larger sites with complicated networks, it makes it easy to see VLANs and separate networks while also highlighting VPNs to other sites and interlinks between networks. It's also useful for SMB networks however on smaller networks (especially with ISP routers) you may not be able to get much or any detail from a network.

The program can be a bit unwieldy at times, however the majority of information is displayed in a readable and friendly way. The maps and popup information box from the bottom can be harder to use on a smaller screen but on a 1080p+ display tends to work fine.

Auvik has worked on sites with 15+ offices connected with VPN's and we have not encountered any issues with the monitoring.

On larger sites the map can be a bit cumbersome to read however it can be cleaned up easily with device filters.

Adding new switches into the network, working out the path from the firewall to switch so I know that the uplinks have the correct VLANs throughout the network. It makes it easy to diagnose network faults as I can pinpoint issues on the map.

We were notified drives were failing on a host and this let us act quickly before potential catastrophic issues. The noise level from alerts can be a little much, but these can be adjusted to your liking.

Auvik is a great tool to use when you need to get a fast and accurate picture of how a network is configured.

it is well suited when an environment has both a higher-end firewall as well as an onsite server. all other items like a managed switch, AP's, etc. are just gravy on top when you can automatically backup said devices. it is less appropriate on simple networks that have no SNMP monitoring or just a basic router and only workstations - no added benefits really.

One of the scenarios we find very helpful is downtime monitoring on our network. If we are to have a power outage, Auvik notifies us right away. Without Auvik we would have to wait for users to let us know that they are having issues. This definitely puts us behind the eight ball to fix the issues we are having. Or in this case to monitor equipment coming back online.

MSP for customer network monitoring large enterprises.

Auvik has done great as an NMS for our company, it has filled a huge gap in Alerting for our overall network at multiple offices.

Auvik does a fantastic job at providing a cloud-based, always-on NMS system. With the ability to break out a variety of sites, the automated network mapping, scanning of subnets, and credential mappings, setup is a breeze and requires very little 'care and feeding'.

Network switch issues. We had a switch that went offline and we needed some visibility on the network. Auvik provided this and we were able to resolve the issue at hand in a timely manner.

Auvik is great to pull in additional information to pack into IT Glue. Getting all of that connectivity information with MAC addresses, workstations, IoT devices, and other things that don't always show up in Active Directory is great. Want to see rogue access points? They will show up as well as when first connected.

It works very well for managing mid to large networks.

MSPs will find value in monitoring and discovering their clients. A single customer would find the same value if they cared to monitor themselves. The product is very scalable based on your level of management. I do imagine a monstrous environment, at some point, would be too gaudy to make sense for this application, but I've not yet reached that limit.
