Veeam Data Platform provides scalable, efficient, and adaptable solutions with ease of use and versatile integration, despite license cost concerns.
The platform scales well and supports our organizational needs.
Integration with other vendors is also seamless.
In order to scale Veeam Data Platform, we have to pay a lot more money.
 

Stability Issues

Auvik Network Management is highly reliable with minimal downtime, swift issue resolution, and is favorably rated for stability.
Sentiment score
7.9
Veeam Data Platform is stable and efficient, with issues mostly due to configuration errors, resolved by updates.

Room For Improvement

Auvik Network Management needs improved reporting, alerts, integration, usability, map accuracy, vendor compatibility, and streamlined onboarding processes.
Veeam Data Platform faces integration and support challenges, high costs, and complex setup, impacting functionality and user satisfaction.
Enhancements in API functionality and wider tool support for integration with PSA or RMM tools.
We were unable to integrate Auvik with a geographical map, which limited our ability to track issues to specific buildings on campus.
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.
 

Setup Cost

Auvik charges per-network device, focusing on core devices for competitive pricing, offering cost advantages and flexibility in management.
Veeam Data Platform offers competitive pricing with predictable CPU socket-based licensing, though additional features can increase costs.
Auvik is pricey, and we were paying a lot for it, especially when compared to SolarWinds.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
From what I know, it is expensive to add modules, with a scale rating of eight out of ten.
 

Valuable Features

Auvik offers user-friendly network management with configuration auditing, real-time alerts, remote access, and tool integration for efficiency.
Veeam Data Platform is praised for ease of use, scalability, cloud integration, and effective backup and recovery solutions.
Its proactive monitoring and simplified troubleshooting have significantly impacted our efficiency in handling network management tasks.
Auvik Core's ease of use also enhanced troubleshooting speed and efficiency.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with.

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.
