Real-time alerting enhances network monitoring, but interface and network mapping need improvement

The interface is good yet could be improved. There are many elements that could be changed in the interface itself. There should be some sort of chart or alerting within the dashboard. In the overview section, these features are currently absent. When you get an alert, you must go to notifications, then within the device to identify the issue. It would be beneficial if everything was visible immediately upon logging in to the overview, such as machine performance and other metrics. Regarding the network map and visibility, there are some issues. Many people have mentioned that the network map needs improvement, especially when handling numerous items. Currently, I have everything in place: printers, monitors, laptops, switches, and access points. However, I have three switches showing outside of the loop without explanation. This issue is persistent, not occasional. These switches appear disconnected in the corner, even though they are connected and online according to other platforms. The presentation aspect needs significant improvement. We have government-related clients, and taking a screenshot of the current network mapping to send to them appears unprofessional. Although Auvik Network Management (ANM) provides network mapping, I still need to create my own network diagram to make it presentable for clients.

With the help of the solution, we can predict and prevent failures

Currently, the most valuable thing for an individual is a mobile device. Since that is where people are currently tracking everything, we have multiple applications or apps that are for various products. I would like ITRS Geneos to develop an app, where instead of going to specific login terminals or logging into laptops or desktops to check alerts, we can have visibility in the app itself. Using the ITRS Geneos app, we could see the error message during our travels or wherever we are. I would like to see the capacity of messages for forecasting increased. Since the NSE is the number one derivative stock exchange in the work for three consecutive years, the number of messages is important. We use the capacity planner in ITRS to forecast our data needs for the next two months. The planner is important because the volume of data we produce is becoming more and more volatile compared to when we first started using ITRS Geneos in 2014.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It has significantly decreased our mean time to resolution."

"The SNMP discovery features are impressive; few products are as robust in their abilities, and it discovered objects I didn't think it would."

"I like how Auvik gives us a quick overview of the overall situation."

"We deploy it on all our new customers and it is of tremendous value."

"They allow for integrations into their platform via API with PSA tools like ConnectWise Manage and ConnectWise Automate. They have a lot of add-on integration and plug-ins for a lot of the big names and IT RMM stacks commonly used in my industry space. These integrations are absolutely valuable. With the integrations into ConnectWise, we are able to automatically create and close tickets across systems."

"Auvik is a fantastic network monitoring tool that does everything PRTG does, plus all the things that SolarWinds and CM did."

"Auvik Network Management (ANM) serves as a backbone for monitoring and proactive and reactive responses, which is faster than before."

"The most valuable feature is that it will back up the configuration and that it will keep multiple copies of it. If a change is made to the configuration by someone else in my company, for example, and something goes wrong, I can bring up the previous configuration and the current configuration, and it will show me exactly what's different. It greatly reduces the time it would take to troubleshoot because I can pinpoint exactly what was done. I can then either change whatever it may have been or roll back the change."

More Auvik Network Management (ANM) pros

"ITRS Geneos provides peace of mind by mentoring our processes and applications."

"The Netprobe is so lightweight compared to the agents that most monitoring tools use. It's really superior to the competition. The agent that is used by almost every competitive tool takes a lot more system resources. It's slower and it requires a greater effort and more compromises in terms of security to install on the monitored servers. With Geneos, because it lives outside the code, it is far easier and far less taxing on the monitored systems."

"As a company looking to onboard, its capacity to monitor just about anything from Unix log files and processes to database memory, and even run queries and provide results, means it can be used as a one stop shop for all your monitoring needs if you understand how to utilise it to its fullest extent."

"One of the best aspects of Geneos is that it has a broad scope and can cover a lot of use cases. You can write your own scripts to monitor really specific things. And the rules that you can put in place can be quite complex for the alerts."

"In my experience, being able to monitor our databases is a valuable feature as we can create our own queries and aren't reliant on the in-built ones."

"The solution's log monitoring and alerting mechanisms are very user-friendly and easy to plug and play."

"Real-time log monitoring with desktop alerts is valuable as it tells us immediately when there is an issue."

"The Geneos monitoring solution is a mature industry standard monitoring solution, and is present in over 90% of the invest banks in the city."

Cons

"I'd like better integration with Meraki and a history feature for network diagrams. If a device fails on Saturday, we can't find it by Monday. A history or PDF export of diagrams would be great to see how devices should be connected."

"The deployment of the probe onto a particular device could be improved."

"The logging features could be a little bit better polished, although that aspect is relatively new. It comes in as raw data, with different formats for different vendors. It's not immediately clear to people what's going on with some of that and you have to read through the codes. Some of the higher-end logging solutions, like Splunk, which is very expensive, can parse through it and correlate items better. Improvement to the logging features would be a value-add, but I'm still very happy that it exists."

"The visualization of network mapping is good, but VLANs don't necessarily show up as a regular LAN does and there is some manual tuning you have to do to make that look perfect."

"Something else I would like to see would be additional vendors for the hardware life cycle. Right now, they mainly focus on Cisco stuff, which is fine, but not every customer we have uses Cisco."

"The user interface could be a little bit faster, and there should be a legend in the map."

"To improve customer onboarding, Auvik could consider offering a free tier of the product."

"The Auvik network map and dashboard are not reliable enough to provide a real-time view of our network."

More Auvik Network Management (ANM) cons

"I had issues scaling it and ended up having to distribute the load over seven gateways."

"The ITA, the post-incident analytics, could be improved."

"I would rate technical support 7/10. It's self-explaining and the support is limited."

"The main feature that needs work is the Dashboard designer. Currently we have to export metrics data in real-time into some other visualization tools in order to get better picture and have a bit more functional dashboard."

"Not a ten because when the Gateway was very overloaded it was very hard to monitor the alerts, especially for the product services."

"The dashboard feature is full of bugs. Grouping items results in a distorted dashboard."

"We sometimes experienced disconnects of the gateways which was a hard one to resolve."

"Technically, I believe the dashboard functionality can be more configurable as some shapes are very limited with what they can do."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Auvik is okay. It is appropriate for the market."

"The pricing is favorable."

"Auvik charges based on the number of network devices being used."

"While Auvik's pricing was attractive, we ultimately had to make budget cuts."

"Auvik offers two publicly available pricing tiers, but there are also additional options that require contacting a sales representative."

"Auvik is not cheap. They've done a great job, it's a developed product, but you pay for it. When you compare, it's definitely in the upper-tier of pricing."

"The pricing is fair for the value and time saved that you get out of it. The larger you go, the more sense it makes per device, because as you hit different pricing tiers, it becomes much more affordable per device."

"I would love to be able to get into the tier with the sys logging and the NetFlow/sFlow. That tier is a little bit expensive for us. If that could come down a little bit in price, we would be using that everywhere."

More Auvik Network Management (ANM) pricing and cost advice

"The market tools are on par with this solution, but if the solution included more features, then it would be well within the range for the cost."

"The pricing is fairly market-related. They have been very lenient because we have been working with them for so long. An example is that we're currently migrating some of our services to AWS, and they've given us a grace period for some of the things to help with the migration and not to grow additional costs while we are migrating, but it's still on par with the market."

"Its price is reasonable. It isn't too expensive, and it isn't too cheap, but it also depends on a company's volume and negotiation."

"Pricing and licensing is based on the requirements."

"Pricing is the touchy subject, even here. Upper management always wants us to find a cheaper solution. But we have so much integrated with ITRS... It's expensive, but it does its job very well. And you set it and go."

"The licensing cost may seem expensive upfront. However, the service is outstanding, the tool does things that no other tools can do, and the customizability more than makes up for the cost of licensing."

"When I first came in, their pricing was very high. ITRS had a high expectation of what their price should be based on perceived value. I think they have been realizing, more recently, that there are other competitors, so their pricing is a lot better. Licensing for on-premise is okay, however I feel there is quite some work to be done for cloud and containers. We're still working with them to try and work out what that pricing should look like."

"I can say it's not that cheap because the licensing is a little bit costly"
