Auvik is a great network discovery tool (and long-term network management and auditing tool) for MSPs to use with their customer networks. Auvik allows for a fast and accurate assessment of how many devices are on a network and with a little effort a greater understanding of how their network operates.

Auvik - A great fit for MSPs
