We performed a comparison between Auvik Network Management (ANM) and Nagios Network Analyzer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"I like the quick mapping. I can put a customer in, and I can put the Auvik monitor in, and then probably within about half an hour to an hour, I can see most of the map."
"Credential management is the most valuable feature. It's helpful to have everything in one essential place."
"The solution automatically updates network topology. The network topology has been great, not only just for troubleshooting things, but also for training. I can show newer or not-so-experienced guys what a network looks like from the top down. Also, we have used the network diagrams for our audits, where we just kind of print it out and hand it to them. It satisfies all of those requirements."
"The network management piece has been the most advantageous. First, it alerts us about network devices that are under duress or having issues. Second, it has historical data. That allows us to go back, if, for instance, a switch is having problems, and see if it is something that trends at a certain time of the day, or a certain day of the week."
"Auvik has decreased our mean time to resolution. It's easier to find the devices on the network and pull out the information. Of course, the SNMP is also good to get the logs. It helps in the network debugging or if we have to find any problems."
"The monitoring and alerting are the most valuable features."
"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."
"Auvik is easy to use. It took some time to set it up, and they were pretty good to us. They offered us around six sessions with a technician to help us set up the monitors we wanted. After we were trained properly, I had no issues using it."
"The network monitoring feature, especially, stands out to me."
"The solution is useful for monitoring network devices."
"Its initial setup process is straightforward."
"The tool's UI is user-friendly, and pricing is affordable. It is very easy to deploy and learn."
"I have found that it has a good GUI and user-friendly administration."
"It is highly customizable and can be integrated well with third-party software."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Network tracking is the most valuable feature of Network Analyzer."
"The tutorial could be a little bit more comprehensive."
"The Auvik network map and dashboard are not reliable enough to provide a real-time view of our network."
"We have a few other networking tools. Some of them are specifically for managing Wi-Fi. They have some great features where they give specific recommendations based on the network traffic they're seeing and based on other customers that have had similar issues, or even just by looking at your own data that they're gathering. They give AI-based recommendations on how to improve the network. Auvik could have something like that. It gives us excellent visibility into the network, but if there is a way to include some remediation tips that are digestible by level-one and level-two techs, that would be great."
"I want to be able to customize the layout more in terms of showing the alert timeframes. For example, I would like to customize it to show all the alerts in the last three hours, six hours, etc. You should be able to customize it so that it shows you the most critical information. We don't need to see CPU usage. We only want to see the up and down time. It would be nice to filter out many of those metrics we don't use."
"I'd probably like a little bit more mapping functionality. It gives me a visual overlay of the way that one network segment links to another, but I can't adjust it. Everything is at an equal distance, which makes sense, but I'd probably group some of the things closer and further as it reflects in reality, but I can't do that right now on their system."
"Auvik doesn't communicate very well with Ubiquiti devices and will incorrectly flag facets as down. Compatibility with Ubiquiti is my biggest pain point with Auvik."
"One main feature I would like to see in Auvik is the ability to generate alerts based on specific events appearing in syslog messages."
"There's room for improvement in the interface."
"There is room for improvement on the setup side."
"I think the reports can be improved. They're adopted."
"The bandwidth for its front-end version needs enhancement."
"There are some loopholes you need to be aware of from a security perspective."
"It's very hard to install materials. You need a lot of documentation. They should make it easier to install and configure the solution."
"It has an old-fashioned interface."
"Nagios Network Analyzer should integrate an application monitoring solution to monitor application bandwidth usage."
"The graphics and reports can be a little bit better."
