Sentiment score
7.8
ServiceNow IT Operations Management is reliable and efficient, praised for stability but minor performance issues occur with complex setups.
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.
 

Room For Improvement

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.

Jeremy Campbell - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables us to get on top of issues before they become an outage
When I change IP addresses on a device or on a server, I have to wait for Auvik to figure out that change. It will tell me the device is offline until Auvik scans the whole subnet again and finds it. If I change 25 devices, I'll get 50 emails in a short time because they've gone offline. I'd love the ability to change that where I can update that device with the IP address without it going offline. That goes against the idea of a system that dynamically scans. It's information overload sometimes when you need to change a bunch of factors. You get inundated with emails. I would almost love a button whenever you first log in that says maintenance window, and then it would maybe take some of those alerts away. It's fairly intuitive but sometimes you have to search for things because it's hidden in the user interface, so I think that could be improved a little bit. The search could be better because they have these strange search terms. Instead of being able to look for what you want, you have to lay out the query in a specific way to get results. We've also been dealing with some weird bugs lately. We get alerts on miscellaneous items that go offline and online all the time. I've reached out to support, and they said that they've got a fix that they rolled out. However, we're still experiencing the issue, so I've got to work with them to fix that. They seem to be on top of the support.
