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.

Helps to work on issues proactively and its pricing is good for what it does

There was an issue where I did not have the ability to turn off certain notifications or noise that I did not care about. I worked with the support guys. They showed me how to do it, and I was able to silence notifications on a specific device, which is something that I was having trouble with. I had one device that was getting non-stop notifications about one issue that could not be fixed. It just had to be that way. It was a legacy machine. After working with support, I was able to turn those notifications off specifically for that one device and that specific problem, which I could not find on my own. After they showed me how to do it, I have not had anything to complain about this product. If anything, the spacing on the network map can be better. In the network map, we have one switch crammed in there. Some improvements in the spacing on the network map would be good. Their documentation and knowledge base can also be improved.

Very user friendly, but needs more documentation to help understand how to use the product

There are not too much documentation or manuals. We found the tutorials very easy to understand but do not go deep enough in the use of Zabbix. We need more manuals, proper use, documentation, etc. We would like to see some applications or plugins as bricks that we can use to construct applications to use with Zabbix. For example, we are starting using Zabbix with Grafana for presentations and apparently they match very easily but you need to put in a lot of work to get the final results. If you have some applications that you can add one to one, you can construct the project more quickly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."

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

"The traffic insights and the configuration management are the most valuable features."

"I like Auvik's SNMP capabilities. Seeing all the metrics and analytics in one dashboard is a game-changer. The topology is excellent."

"The primary reason I wanted Auvik was SNMP. It discovers all the MIBs and pulls them. That's how it can monitor the things that other platforms don't."

"Auvik makes it super simple to have sub-tenants and you can then view high-level details from the "parent" tenant, which is our MSP interface, while also diving deep into the client-side and having full access there for assigning client-level permissions."

"It does provide very useful metrics, and it has improved a large portion of our day-to-day operations."

"I love that Auvik manages all of the credentials for me."

"It's easy to get the information I need. I don't need to hunt for it or run queries to get it."

"That network visualization is really cool. I've been working here for a year now, and the first time I saw it I said, "Whoa, this is so cool"... With Auvik, the map is accurate. It is great and always updating. That's definitely one of the best features of Auvik."

More Auvik Network Management (ANM) pros

"It's a very reliable platform and we've never had any issues regarding the scalability or the stability of Zabbix."

"It meets my organizational needs. It's pretty easy to use."

"The template system in Zabbix is very beneficial as it saves time in configuration."

"Zabbix has a roadmap and they are continuously and frequently adding new features."

"I have found that the reporting feature in Zabbix is most valuable. Additionally, the solution has given us bandwidth options, we are able to see where problems are. For example, we noticed a problem that occurred because of a bad interface going in the wireless VLAN."

"The most valuable feature is the alert and alarm monitoring."

"It provides high scalability, alerting, notification, templating, and end-to-end security."

"The integration with third-party tools and the alerts are most valuable."

More Zabbix pros

Cons

"The technical support needs improvement."

"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."

"I want to see improvement around backups; we had a case where we created a ticket for online support, and they were able to set up backups for one of our devices, but they were unwilling to do the same backup script with a different device. The script uses the same code, just a different model number, and the engineers weren't willing to add it to the other model."

"If I could make a wish list of things that I would like to see from Auvik, I would definitely love to see more vendor integration with specific manufacturers. They've got that integration with Cisco, but it would be awesome to also have that with other major brands, such as HP, Dell, and Lenovo. It should have integration with more vendors, and in general, being able to quickly and easily access vendor-specific tools from the portal would be amazing."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect."

"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."

"Auvik's UI, while informative, can be a hurdle for new users due to its complexity."

"The one thing that I need more help with is the networking of virtualization hosts. I need more information on those hosts and which virtual networks are attached to what, the virtual switches that are in there, and how they function. None of that exists currently."

"I would like Auvik to offer an alternative method for backing up devices that don't support or have SNMP disabled, since currently, SNMP seems to be a prerequisite for any functionality in Auvik."

"The map itself is a little clunky in terms of zooming in, zooming out, and moving around because you have to use the manual on-screen buttons as opposed to being able to click and drag."

More Auvik Network Management (ANM) cons

"I would like for this solution to be more cloud-friendly."

"The user interface could be better."

"It could be more stable."

"Even though it’s such a powerful monitoring system, it would be more helpful if it had a flexible UI."

"Zabbix is not easy to configure, and upgrading is also an issue."

"Look and feel."

"Zabbix is powerful, but it is difficult to understand initially. There are many things that can be improved, but we might not be using Zabbix to its fullest extent. The software has more features than we need."

"It would be helpful if they translated the documentation to Cyrillic languages."

More Zabbix cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"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."

"The pricing is reasonable, neither exceptionally cheap nor excessively expensive—it aligns well with what I anticipated."

"I understand Auvik's value proposition, but the retail price might seem high at first glance."

"I appreciated the way Auvik's pricing scaled with the size of my network. We're a non-profit, and they gave us a non-profit discount. I didn't do an exhaustive comparison, but I felt their pricing was pretty reasonable. I'm a cheap guy when it comes to spending in a non-profit, but I did feel that what I was getting out of them was a good value for my dollar."

"I love the pricing. It makes a lot of sense. It allows you to use your own metal, which is great because it enables us to go higher-end for some clients and lower-end for others... Even having the flexibility to switch clients between the Performance (expert) and the Essentials (simple) version of Auvik, on the fly, is really unheard of."

"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."

"I can't speak to the cost; I'm an engineer. Auvik has a subscription-based pricing option, and the other solution we evaluated had high upfront costs."

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

More Auvik Network Management (ANM) pricing and cost advice

"The solution is open source so is free."

"This solution is open-source and free to use."

"Zabbix is an open-source tool, and it's free to use."

"We use the open-source version of Zabbix."

"We pay the subscription for support by year."

"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually for our license."

"Zabbix is a free solution but the support contact costs money."

"It is reasonable."
