Auvik Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As an MSP, Auvik helps us monitor, manage, and maintain our clients environments for issues that can be difficult to report on or have visibility into without custom configuration. We have many different vendors we use for network and servers so it gives us the ability to standardize our alerting and monitoring of these devices.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for large environments spread across many locations that do not already have a network with a single pane of glass(Meraki, etc). Automated alerting and backups to proactively monitor for issues in real time.

Not as well suited for environments that have Meraki or cloud managed network gear.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

So basically, Auvik is different from traditional RMM tools. Auvik focuses only on the network later in a customer network. But the information it provides is rich and insightful. Auvik is a fully cloud-based product and customers need not to worry about on-premise dependencies when using Auvik. Also, it is fully automated. Auvik helps the burden of IT admins by automating repetitive tasks. So you skilled IT persons can be assigned more productive tasks. This way Auvik increases the return on investment of IT teams. Also, Auvik has a fully automated network discovery process which will discover your network in a matter of minutes with all the inventories. Furthermore with its dynamic and navigational map helps to pinpoint and identify root cause of a particular issue quickly using its rich alerting mechanisms. So your overall ticket volume and ticket resolution time can be reduced. Auvik provides complete visibility on the network on a real-time basis and you can know in and out of your network. Auvik helps increasing confidence on IT systems by providing distaster recovery capabilities with configuration backup options so that you can recover device configurations at any time. Additionally, Auvik provides all the device life cycle information of each network components so that you can plan for network refreshes.

Likelihood to Recommend

Auvik is well suited for managed service customers and small-scale SMB customers who do not have enough technical resource to manage and monitor their network. Also for customer who has distributed networks spreaded across worldwide or nation wide, Auvik is well suited since it does not need any on-premise setup at each site except for a collector. For customer who has already adopted and used cloud network and hosting services, Auvik is better as Auvik is also fully cloud based offering

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Auvik to monitor our ISP WAN link availability, network traffic utilization, virtual host, and storage health.

Likelihood to Recommend

Auvik is well suited to any computer network environment.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Auvik is a remote monitoring and management tool for networks, with extensive support for products and platforms commonly found in mid-sized to enterprise organizations. It provides real-time insight into network conditions and devices, largely replacing static documentation. Its Remote Browser support for nearly anything with a web-based management console is a huge time-saver.

Likelihood to Recommend

Auvik would be a useful product in medium to large organizations with multiple sites, with certain network hardware: Cisco, HP, Juniper, and Meraki. Auvik is less useful in smaller or more heterogeneous organizations.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Monitoring and investigation. Network loops and monitoring

Likelihood to Recommend

Auvik has assisted us in figuring out network loops, offline statuses, and easy network infrastructure mapping. This is best for MSP's or any IT companies to use. Other than the downtime Auvik has, it has been well used in its times for emergencies and regular investigations. Auvik should have a WAN network monitor as well however.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Auvik in multiple ways across most of our clients - discovery, management, mitigation, configuration management, network trends, flow monitoring, alerting, and others. Deployment is quick and lightweight, which makes buy-in that much easier.

Auvik has been used to address many business cases and situations, including malware/crypto mitigation, emergency outage responses, validation of the network, and trending of network flows to create a baseline of the environment.

Likelihood to Recommend

Auvik is fantastic for managing multi-site, multi-company networks - very well suited for MSP or consultative technology companies. Navigation is simple and easy between clients and their sites.

Auvik is less well suited for managing single sites or single companies - it is really meant to be used at a larger scale.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Used for remote monitoring, alerting, and management. I have quite a different use case than the rest of my colleagues. I primarily help our co-managed clients deploy and configure Auvik. For example, a new System Admin was hired at a large organization and was asking if there was any sort of topology to better understand his environment. He was trying to put together one in Visio on his own, we implemented Auvik, and he was blown away that he could have his own alerting/monitoring platform that was also the topology he was looking for!

Likelihood to Recommend

Great tool for any/all size networks.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Auvik allows us to easily reveal critical layer 2 and 3 network details that are needed to create missing/update outdated network diagrams for our customers. Especially for complex networks, this drastically helps our engineers work more efficiently in doing discovery. We also use it for a variety of alerts that help us know when an ISP goes down, or a firewall has been trending with too high utilization, and plenty more. The automatic device configuration backups are a huge help. There's even more potential that doesn't get used as often by us but is still a great feature that comes in handy at times, such as the remote tunnel capabilities.

Likelihood to Recommend

Auvik is great when you have clients that have multiple locations connected with VPN tunnels—helps you get a better visual on topology for layer 2. VLAN segmentation/layer 3 topology is harder to visually see. Auvik is a big asset for the majority of our customers with average/complex networks. For small clients with a more flat/simple topology, Auvik is a bit overkill, however.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Great network monitoring tool, love the in-browser tunneling feature. Can be slow at times but the functionality is robust and useful. A good overview of any network topology and is very simple to switch between tenants. The search functionality could be a little more refined and allow custom field queries, but overall pretty good.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for MSPs, or companies with many hubs that have a large amount of network equipment that needs to be accessed for maintenance or configuration changes. Probably not needed for smaller companies or companies with only a few sites/minimal gear or those who do not make frequent configurations to their equipment

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Auvik to generate alerts for network events, offline devices, and other issues. Auvik quickly lets you see what devices are online and offline which is crucial for determining the point of failure. You can view ling statuses, switchports, and VLANS. We use it to monitor the statuses of lots of switches, point-to-point APs, cameras, and SIP phones at our biggest clients, and diagnose issues when they come up.

Likelihood to Recommend

In a point to point environment, we can determine which side of the network the issues are on and which device link is down.
