Overall Satisfaction with Auvik

We deploy Auvik virtual appliances at many of our clients, which we support with IT services. If there are any network issues at any time of the day, we use Auvik to monitor that and send us alerts so we're aware right away. We can find device information and network information efficiently to quickly diagnose what can be causing network disruptions to remediate interruptions in service.
  • Excellent visual topology.
  • Real-time monitoring.
  • Device Information/categorization.
  • Can be slow to use. With larger environments, it can take a while to move around.
  • Not always the correct topology. Devices can show up in a completely different location than where they actually are on the network.
  • Visual topology. At a glance, I want to be quickly able to see how a network is laid out.
  • Alerting/monitoring. We can automatically know if there's an issue with a network.
  • Remoting into devices. It saves time to be able to get into any device that's online.
  • Within 5 minutes of looking at a network in Auvik, I can figure out what devices are having issues on a network.

Do you think Auvik delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Auvik's feature set?

Yes

Did Auvik live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Auvik go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Auvik again?

Yes

Let's say we get a report from users in an office that their internet stops working, and multiple users report this. I will use Auvik to see which devices are down. I can work my way through a network to see which devices are down, how long they've been down, and if it's a power issue or a network issue. I can see which interfaces on network equipment are up, and even remote into devices through Auvik if necessary.
