Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Auvik as a single place to monitor network performance and backup network device configurations.

Pros and Cons

Single interface for network monitoring
Discovery of devices
Ease of use and navigation

Having a more clear navigation banner showing where you are
Single sign on integration walk through
Providing automated suggestions based on what hardware is found

Return on Investment

Identifying the actual load of a device helps us understand what we need to scale for
Pricing model is very fair where only network gear is counted rather than end clients

Alternatives Considered

PRTG Network Monitor and SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor (npm)

The out of the box features and alerting with Auvik have been incredibly helpful. The navigation is slightly behind the clarity within the SolarWinds portals, but the alerting is significantly better out of the box.
