Overall Satisfaction with Auvik

We currently use Auvik to monitor all fully-managed client networks; presently 125 networks and 740 devices. Auvik allows us to review all network traffic, throughput, and performance issues. Instead of responding to client issues, we are proactively preventing them, or alerting them, to provide a greater level of service.

Auvik far surpasses competition on price, licensing, reporting, and the overall interface. While Auvik can be loop-heavy (circling back to where you started), its interface is SIMPLE and its results detailed. Whoever created the user interface needs to have a beer, because they deserve it.

Auvik is well suited in the MSP sector for all network monitoring needs. It provides exceptional visibility into network traffic, device/hardware status, and any other reporting through SNMP, WMI, or APIs. Auvik is not well-suited on multi-site over a slow link (e.g. 10Mbps) when the collector is at the remote end of the site. Traffic is too encumbering and can often slow downlinks.
