ServiceNow IT Operations Management and Auvik Network Management both compete in the IT management category. ServiceNow appears to have the upper hand due to its broad IT process management capabilities, despite challenges in pricing and deployment efficiency.
Features: ServiceNow IT Operations Management offers automation and integration capabilities with features like service mapping, discovery, and orchestration, allowing comprehensive IT process management from a single platform. Auvik Network Management provides network discovery and monitoring with real-time visibility into network topology and strong alerting mechanisms, focusing on network-specific management tools.
Room for Improvement: ServiceNow users seek better pricing models, more pre-built integrations, and improved discovery features, along with simplified deployment and enhanced AI capabilities. Auvik users request better reporting features, enhanced device discovery, and improved integration with other IT tools, along with more customizable alerts and enhanced network map functionality.
Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: ServiceNow is deployable across hybrid, public, and private clouds, with mixed reviews on customer support efficiency, varying by region and issue. Auvik supports cloud deployment, notably in public clouds, with positive feedback on fast and efficient customer support, although its pricing based on device count can complicate planning.
Pricing and ROI: ServiceNow, potentially costing up to $250,000 monthly for extensive use, is seen as expensive but offers a good ROI due to its comprehensive services. Auvik charges per network device, which can be costlier in larger networks, but its pricing is generally deemed fair, with users noting good value in its features. Both solutions are considered investments that improve efficiencies in IT environment management.
Auvik Network Management saves me 40% to 50% of our time.
It reduced staffing needs from four full-time staff to fewer due to automation.
They were knowledgeable and responded quickly with accurate and useful information.
They introduced the product to us and explained how to deal with it.
I would give Auvik Network Management support a ten out of ten.
They respond promptly when we call to open a ticket.
The response time of technical support could be improved.
The platform scales well and supports our organizational needs.
It was capable of handling all those clients perfectly.
ServiceNow ITOM scales very well to small and medium businesses.
It integrates with every single tool, even external tools.
A lot of platforms, especially when it comes to CRMs, CMSs, and ERPs, are still built on PHP and MySQL, which I feel is archaic now and slow to query.
In terms of stability, I would rate Auvik Network Management as a ten out of ten, as it does not experience jitter or other major issues.
Since it is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) or Software as a Service (SaaS) solution, I consider the stability to be very high, rating it ten out of ten.
We were unable to integrate Auvik with a geographical map, which limited our ability to track issues to specific buildings on campus.
Enhancements in API functionality and wider tool support for integration with PSA or RMM tools.
Auvik does a good job of nesting those devices. For example, a bunch of different servers will all be nested in one icon on the map, and when opened up, all those multiple servers can be seen.
A more streamlined configuration process tailored to use cases and industry would be beneficial.
We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors.
There is room for improvement in service mapping within ServiceNow ITOM.
Auvik is pricey, and we were paying a lot for it, especially when compared to SolarWinds.
The pricing was a little bit higher.
I would categorize its pricing as good.
The pricing model offers scaling where not everything consumes a license equally, providing more value across different business areas.
ServiceNow's pricing is expensive.
Auvik Core's ease of use also enhanced troubleshooting speed and efficiency.
Its proactive monitoring and simplified troubleshooting have significantly impacted our efficiency in handling network management tasks.
We can go to different places and monitor, check, configure, and analyze traffic.
The performance analytics of ServiceNow was especially beneficial for setting thresholds, aggregating, and correlating infrastructure data.
