Overall Satisfaction with Auvik

We use Auvik to support other ISPs and networks. Auvik really allows us to look at traffic usage and patterns with their traffic insights. We currently have our own internal network on Auvik as well as individual supported networks. Our affiliates really appreciate the ability to "see" the traffic patterns in their networks.
  • traffic insights
  • network discovery
  • network security
  • Install and launch instructions, especially regarding shared collectors can be difficult to follow.
  • The branded colors of gray and black lines can be hard to understand and things with a higher contrast like green for good connections might be beneficial.
  • Persistent filters on the traffic insights dashboard would be useful.
  • Definitely helps with DDoS identification
  • Is very tedious to start the setup but once in place it is very reliable.
  • It gives our operators the ability to troubleshoot on a much deeper level for end users and network issues.
  • Auvik
Since we have only evaluated Auvik and have solely rested on this as a solution, we have no ability to compare and contrast other vendor offerings such as SolarWinds or HP's network discovery tools.

Do you think Auvik delivers good value for the price?

Yes

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?

Yes

Would you buy Auvik again?

Yes

We find Auvik is well suited for smaller networks. Larger networks tend to get cluttered in the dashboard. You can zoom in but the 64,000 foot view can look overwhelming. The ability to filer network segments was eyeopening in the presentation and will be something we will likely start following up on.
