Decreases user onboarding and offboarding time, and invaluable for discussing shadow IT and security
One of the most valuable features of Auvik SaaS Management is the insights into user applications and the security around that. We can understand and get full visibility into what end-users are using. Most organizations can list off the top five apps that they use but, lo and behold, we're able to discover that there are 30 or 40 apps in use within the organization that nobody knew about. From a security standpoint, helping to track those down is very critical and Auvik SaaS Management allows us to do that. The single sign-on detection feature is also very important. If we have single sign-on, we can see what they're leveraging that sign-on to gain access to. And an extremely important component of Auvik SaaS Management is the reporting engine. It allows us to perform assessments and sit down with organizations to review what they're actually doing with their SaaS apps. Typically, when we come in, they have no idea how many SaaS apps they have out there. They might not know that someone in accounting or someone in marketing just purchased something to accomplish a task. The reporting gives us visibility into that and is done in a fashion in which it's very easy to understand, with some of the executive summaries. We don't have to spend time having technical discussions about what the information means. We're able to have the discussion of what it means to the business and for solving problems there. The reporting is absolutely critical and they do a good job of it.

A stable solution with good duplication capabilities and fair pricing
The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement.  I've been using the solution for five years. The solution is quite stable. We haven't had any problems over the past five years of use. Scalability is fine. We keep adding different…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are application monitoring and reporting. I like putting all the filters on the report to get the desired results. Reporting is one of the essential features we use, depending on what is required. I run it monthly or quarterly. We have some reports scheduled to run monthly to track new applications coming in. We're good at going through them and classifying them."
"We can understand and get full visibility into what end-users are using. Most organizations can list off the top five apps that they use but, lo and behold, we're able to discover that there are 30 or 40 apps in use within the organization that nobody knew about."
"We use the solution to track unauthorized apps our employees use so we can talk to them or block the apps at the firewall if needed. More importantly, we track shared credentials and services employees access on company devices, especially when someone's leaving. If someone had access to a shared account, which we try to avoid, but if there was one with a logged-in password, we can change it when we off-board the employee or shut down their account."
"Auvik SaaS Management gives us the tools to classify the applications from a management standpoint. It also provides an overview of when various software might be up for renewal on an agreement."
"The ability to see what accounts and services are being accessed at any given time is valuable, and that's also true for most of my clients. Another good use is time management. If one of my clients asks me, "Hey, how long is John accessing Dropbox throughout the day?" I can do that with Auvik SaaS Management. Auvik SaaS Management can give me a report on the usage of a single user."
"The most valuable feature is the identification of the various user names used to log into apps that are critical in terms of data security."
"When we offboard an employee, we know which applications that employee used. For example, let's say Bob left the company, but we don't know all the applications he used. We can run a report showing everything Bob accessed, giving us some leverage to go back to the client and say, "Hey, these are all the applications he used. We manage these, and you still need to take care of these." It gives us expectations to provide to our clients."
"The license monitoring and management capabilities probably top the list of most valuable features in terms of everyday day utility. You can go to customers and say, "You have 100 licenses of Office 365 E3, but you only use 95, so we can adjust your licensing and save you some money.""
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"The solution's hardware appliance is very scalable and very useful."
"The solution is stable; I haven't experienced any bugs or glitches on it."
"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."
"The duplication is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
 

Cons

"The web portal isn't very intuitive, especially for me. I struggle while creating permissions to allow clients to do the portal. It was a little tricky, but I was able to contact people from Auvik SaaS Management, and they helped me."
"The reporting is excellent, but it could always be better. Sometimes we'd like the reports to be in different formats. Auvik SaaS Management could also be better integrated with some of our other tools. It's like an island unto itself, but we're an Autotask shop. We use Datto RMM and Autotask PSA. It'd be great to see Auvik SaaS Management alerts in our Autotask tools."
"They're working on Auvik's ability to detect when people are using multifactor authentication, but some more automation in that area would be nice."
"Before Auvik bought Saaslio, we struggled with the single sign-on because it would sign you off quickly. I would be presenting to my clients on the software or categorizing, like, "Hey, what is this app used for?" When I was inside Saaslio, it would kick me out, so I would have to log back in."
"The user interface and some of the application classification features could be improved. I'd love the ability to bulk-edit some of the applications."
"One area for improvement in the tool , which they said might be on the roadmap, is better integration of features like tagging product owners, leaving notes, and setting statuses such as pending review, approved, deployed, etc. I want to use the product to write notes under an application, like when people start using the Brave Browser, and tag Billy Bob, who manages it. I want a report showing all the products Billy Bob owns, along with associated notes, so I can discuss everything with him in one meeting. Currently, I have to click on each application individually and copy and paste notes elsewhere, which isn't efficient."
"Integration with macOS and Apple devices could be better. I believe this is something they're working on, but it needs a little more work."
"They've started working on integrations with other platforms for sharing data across other tools that are commonly used in the industry. I'd like to see that continue to improve. They do have to make the integrations deeper."
"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."
"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."
"An area for improvement is the product's performance, especially how long it takes to do a job."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"The usability of the solution isn't the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is great. It doesn't get any better. I told their CEO, "I feel like I'm stealing it from you." I'm serious because the price is amazing."
"I think Auvik SaaS Management's pricing is great. We're a managed services company, and one site license covers all our clients."
"Auvik SaaS Management is priced well. It's a no-brainer for us to implement it."
"There is definitely value from Auvik SaaS Management, so I don't think it's outrageously priced. There's always room for evolution of the model, depending on how the platform is being leveraged."
"The solution's pricing and licensing model are fair and based on users rather than devices, which helps consolidate tracking and licensing costs."
"The program is quite expensive."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
