We were in need of a robust network monitoring solution and found Auvik. Auvik monitors all of our routings and switching, which gives us notice of problems before our users even know and allows us to deploy a technician to resolve the issue much faster than in the past. We also use Auvik for traffic monitoring. We can see what our users are doing and adjust policies as needed. We also monitor all our wireless access points. We can see when an access point goes down in real-time, as well as if one is overloaded. Personally, I really like the real-time mapping. It gives link speeds and what interface each device is on. This is very helpful when troubleshooting a device with an issue. Lastly, we use Auvik to back up all our switch and router configs, which is done automatically. Overall, Auvik saves me hours of time each week, which is huge.
- Real-time network mapping
- Switch and router config backup
- Integration with Slack for immediate notification of issues
- Bandwidth monitoring
Cons
- Need some updated knowledge-based articles to keep up with the new versions of device software, i.e. Cisco switches
