A cloud solution for warehousing with a troubleshooting feature

The initial setup is straightforward. It's based on user requirements. We also conduct heat mapping using a couple of tools. The only requirement is to understand the technical or configuration aspects from the user's end and then configure it. Mist takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes for a particular deployment. You need to understand the end user's environment and have a concrete plan on whether it's a greenfield installation or an existing one, considering the density and height. Based on that, we need to develop a passive heat map. Then, you need to discuss with the user to understand exactly what needs to be configured and what they require in their environment. Based on that, you can proceed with the installation. Additionally, you can perform post-installation heat mapping to ensure it matches the earlier heat map. I rate the initial setup an eight out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Good dashboard and visibility but there was a bug that affected the installation process

The reporting that they have available was good. The options to customize the reporting and the depths to which the system worked were helpful. The interconnectivity and ease of use were good. It's not very confusing. It's pretty well laid out and easy to understand. The network map in the dashboard gives you a real-time picture of your network. It did a really good job of showing you an overview of everything. Our networks weren't weren't very large, so we had no issues with the network map. Overall, it gave you a pretty deep in-depth view of what was going on. We did see the benefits of Auvik immediately. It started pulling data within minutes of implementation. It actually did empower us to be able to solve problems more quickly and to stay on top of them and be more proactive rather than reactive. It helped with our mean time to resolution. We noted a 50% decrease. The solution allows us to spend less time on setup, maintenance, and issue resolution. With the time savings, I've been able to work on other projects and have been busy with other issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."

"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."

"Remote accessibility of the network devices is the most valuable feature. I often have to log into switches and routers to make changes, and I can do so from any computer as long as I have an Internet connection. I don't need to have my laptop or a VPN. Auvik is faster."

"The other element that it's helped us with is in predicting the future. And another thing that it allows us to do very easily is to track our bandwidth usage that's going in and out of each of the data centers. We've been able to use that information to trend and predict when we need to get upgrades in place. Funny enough, we have an order now where we're increasing our connectivity at one of our data centers tenfold and that's being driven because Auvik's enabled us to understand that we're rapidly approaching our threshold."

"The ability to trace cables is the most valuable feature. The solution provides link detection and port detection features with the switches. It's invaluable to have the ability to see where one device is connected and identify the exact port without having to trace any cables."

"Its network discovery capabilities are very impressive. The discovery piece is amazing. I don't know if they have an AI or some type of advanced intelligence inside of their program that helps with the discovery piece. I haven't seen anything that discovers products that well and is able to label them, tag them, and pull as much information about them. I don't know what drives that engine, but I'm just absolutely blown away by it. It is cool."

"The instant email alerts Auvik sends are valuable because every second counts when a device is down."

"The way Auvik allows us to manage our infrastructure provides a top-level view of everything, solving several past issues."

"The cloud monitoring portion of Auvik that provides visibility into each piece of my infrastructure is the most valuable feature."

"The network flow piece is the most useful. We can identify the busiest parts of the network based on the reporting from the switches about what is utilizing the most bandwidth on specific switch ports. I can narrow down which segments of the network might be having issues."

More Auvik Network Management (ANM) pros

"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."

"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."

"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."

"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."

"The policies are probably the most valuable features. They're similar in function to Microsoft group policies where we can have it monitor certain things or push out software on a schedule. I would rate the policies eight out of 10. They're robust, I could monitor most of the things that Windows Performance Monitoring keeps tabs on."

"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."

"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."

"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."

More NinjaOne pros

Cons

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"The technical support needs improvement."

"It uses SNMP in its discovery process and how it pulls in data. But today it doesn't have an SNMP trap facility so you can't have your infrastructure devices push alerts into Auvik. And that for us would be a big feature that we would like to see."

"It needs flexibility for the pooling of information. Because it is fully automated, it is pooling everything from the device from a given category. There is no way to exclude things that are not important or if you want to temporarily remove them to see statistics of other things. For example, we get about 100 MB from Auvik. We are unable to limit this. We would rather stop monitoring something, since some features will always give you alerts, because they shouldn't be monitored. However, it is impossible to exclude them, e.g., the internal interface. If somebody disconnects the device from the internal interface, we get an alert. So, this is something that is really painful for us. More flexibility would solve most of our issues."

"The deployment of the probe onto a particular device could be improved. That usually requires one of our level-two people to step in from the help desk team. It would be much better if it were a click-and-go deployment. What I would like to see in particular is the ability to download an MSI builder for a probe for a particular building. We would simply double-click and install it onto the machine and have it work. Having to roll through with the entire API key is a little time-consuming."

"Scheduling maintenance would be much easier if there was a dedicated section readily visible on each client's main page."

"Sometimes it's a little bit slow to load, but I can't think of anything else that could be improved."

"If I am an administrator, then I have to maintain, clean, and label that environment. Auvik's utility in that regard is cumbersome. It is hard to find where certain things are configured. Also, it is sometimes hard to figure out why Auvik is doing what it is doing."

"For the most part, it's great for visualizing the network mapping/topology for our organization. However, when complex VLAN networks are involved, sometimes, the picture can get a little cloudy. It would definitely be nice if there was some way of choosing a VLAN to view or something like that. They should definitely improve the handling of multiple networks and VLANs."

"The pricing model could also be improved, as the unlimited selection isn't unlimited. The billing work on the build devices and components, and I've tried to set up the solution in a few different configurations, resulting in multiple build devices each time. Therefore, I question the cost-effectiveness for a business of our size."

More Auvik Network Management (ANM) cons

"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."

"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."

"I wish that they integrated it with more antivirus solutions. Currently, they only push Defender, but it doesn't really have integration with SentinelOne. It also didn't integrate with Trend Micro, which we were using previously. I would also like to have more control from the mobile app. As of now, I am able to see some performance values, but I can't see, for example, disk activity or disk performance values. If they can improve their app a little bit, it would help greatly. They can also improve the tech interface. If I assign certain techs to a bunch of specific machines, they only get those alerts that they're assigned to."

"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."

"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."

"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."

"There was a lot of delay with NinjaOne's ticketing system. For example, when a user creates a ticket and raises an issue, it would take 30 to 40 minutes to appear on the IT side. So the time delay issue is the main point."

"It can have more integrations with third-party providers, such as Deep Instinct. They do partner with certain antivirus or remote access tool partners, but they can increase their portfolio to have more choices."

More NinjaOne cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"The cost for all the devices that we were billed at in my last job was about $2500 annually. It wasn't much. It has the most reasonable pricing as compared to any product out there. I can't complain. It is amazing. It allows me to bundle inside the package what I charge customers per user per month. I don't charge them per device anymore. That's not how we do things in the industry. It is per user per month. The way Auvik is charging us allows me to do it. For example, if they charge $250 for a certain number of seats, I'm just going to write the costs onto per user per month. I have a few leftover licenses to use, which allows me to go out and make some more sales and give some freebies at some shows. So, it makes me very flexible. I am very happy with it. It is billed by network devices. You could choose which billable device you want. What is really nice is that if you don't want one switch to be billable and the other one to be billable, you can do that. You just won't have the features that the billable switch has, which isn't horrible. Sometimes, you don't need that. What I'm really happy about is that Auvik doesn't force things on you and doesn't say, "You have to have all of this," and that's a great business model."

"It's always been very affordable."

"The pricing could be tiered so that you get a discount for more devices. We're fairly early on in the billing process, but it could be slightly cheaper."

"Auvik's pretty good in terms of pricing. It can get pricey if you have multiple managed devices, but if it's just a simple network with only one or two firewall walls and smart switches, it's reasonable."

"I believe we have a special arrangement with them because we, as an MSP, take care of some of their technical services."

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

"Auvik is a cost-efficient solution for the applications we use it for."

"The pricing is by device. We have 75 devices, which is a little more than we really need. With school and volume discounts, it is still a little over $16,000 annually. Our WiFi access points are not being billed, but all our switches and routers are."

More Auvik Network Management (ANM) pricing and cost advice

"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."

"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."

"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."

"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."

"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."

"Its pricing is great."

"It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."
