Overall Satisfaction with Auvik

We currently deploy Auvik throughout our entire organization. Auvik is a complete network monitoring tool that focuses on network needs and issues primarily with a secondary function of discovery. We deploy it to every client for the purpose of being able to monitor their network infrastructure and quickly pinpoint issues with the network.
  • Network discovery
  • Network mapping
  • Network troubleshooting
  • SNMP monitoring
  • SNMP traps (not an advertised feature)
  • Endpoint monitoring (not an advertised feature)
  • Better customer experiences
  • Simplicity addressing network concerns
  • Automated network discovery and documentation
The Network Discovery (probe) portion of Automate doesn't work as well as advertised and expected. PRTG and Domotz are fledgling products compared to Auvik.

Auvik is a great tool for discovering the details and eccentricities of your or your customer's networks. It truly is a tool I didn't know I needed and now I can't live without. Immediately after deploying it I was able to proactively identify some network pain points that allowed me to correct multiple network deficiencies and create happier customers without even realizing they were having problems (slow network speeds, congested ports). Onboarding and ongoing support are top notch. They really don't just "throw you to the wolves," though that being said, the complexity of the product does merit taking the onboarding and initial setup seriously and not just going with a "deploy and go" type of scenario, but that's strictly because of the scope and feature set that the product offers.
