What is your primary use case for Auvik?

I use Auvik in a couple of ways. It is very good at keeping configuration files organized for us. We can review the changes to configuration files in our networking infrastructure equipment. It is also very good at creating maps and helping me visualize the troubleshooting of any infrastructure problems we have. By implementing Auvik Network Management, we were trying to get better visuals on our network and more transparency in our equipment because Auvik could talk to all of it. It was sort of agnostic. It did not require using a certain brand or anything. As long as you can SSH to it or terminal to it somehow, Auvik can read it.

We primarily use it to monitor our clients' networks. We are also using it as a monitoring tool for some of the clients for whom we manage VMware clusters. We are utilizing Auvik log gathering and alerting. It is like a poor man's VMware monitoring tool.

We use it for network management. We use SNMP to get notifications about various issues on our network.

We use the solution for networking. If a router or a switch is down, we can look that up very quickly in Auvik Network Management, and then diagnose the problem.

I'm a systems engineer, so I use it for troubleshooting and for doing research, like baseline functions like figuring out network layouts and things of that nature.

We set Auvik up on several of our sites to monitor different devices, including computers, printers, and the network. We used it to collect data to see what's going on in our network.

I have used Auvik on our local network and our remote network over VPN, and I used it to look for physical devices automatically on our networks.

I work for an MSP and manage networks for a couple of clients. We use Auvik to monitor their network devices and make configuration changes as needed. When a network device goes offline, we get an alert and we can respond to it accordingly.

As the IT manager for our two-building campus, I collaborate closely with our Managed Service Provider to leverage Auvik Network Management for comprehensive monitoring of our network infrastructure, including switches, firewalls, access points, and other typical small business network devices. We chose Auvik Network Management to gain better visibility into our network, with real-time alerts for any device going offline, while also providing a centralized location for backing up all our device configurations.

We rely on Auvik Network Management for a comprehensive network solution, utilizing it to monitor the health of all our devices and maintain up-to-date backups of their configurations. We implemented Auvik Network Management to streamline onboarding new network devices across our global network. It also provides proactive alerts for outages, allowing us to address them before they impact users. Additionally, Auvik facilitates swift restoration from backups if an issue proves unsolvable.

Primarily, I'm using Auvik for alerting within client infrastructure and then using it for investigation into issues. We're trying to make sure we are accurately and professionally monitoring IT environments. It helps with tracking issues as soon as they happen immediately and not having to wait to act until users report issues.

We're an MSP. We're pretty much monitoring our client's network.

We mainly use the product to analyze the remote networks. We are a managed service provider, so we have a lot of networks that are not really close, physically. We still have to keep control of them. This allows us to do so remotely. We put monitors on firewalls, routers, et cetera, so that we can see, for example, if something has gone down, and where.

The main purpose was to gain better visibility over our network. We were having frequent short internet outages, and we were trying to gain better visibility as to what could be going on in our network.

The solution monitors my equipment. I can see everything that's online. It alerts me when things are offline, which is great. It also tells me if there's some firmware aspect to it, which I think is cool. That way, I know if my monitored equipment needs an update.

We're using Auvik right now for switch backups and general network monitoring.

I work for an MSP, and what we do is work with different companies. We monitor all the networks. We have an integration with ConnectWise. We get to receive alerts directly to our ticketing system, and that is awesome. It saves us a lot of work. We don't have to have someone monitoring the networks 24/7. We receive the alerts in our queue and that expedites a lot of work.

We are using Auvik Network Management to monitor switch configuration and usage. I'm looking to improve my network visibility by implementing effective alerts and enabling remote CLI access for switch management.

As an MSP, we install Auvik on our managed service clients' networks to gain a comprehensive view of their network layout. This allows us to monitor overall network health, receive performance metrics, and identify outages across all SNMP-manageable devices like firewalls and switches. While Auvik excels in network device monitoring, we rely on other tools for managing aspects like Windows systems. In larger environments, we typically deploy a dedicated agent directly on the network for comprehensive scanning and monitoring. For smaller environments, a cloud-based agent provides a more efficient solution.

I work for an IT-managed service provider specializing in the medical field. We offer IT support to various healthcare organizations, including hospitals, urgent care centers, doctor's offices, and specialty clinics, with client sizes ranging from 50 to 500 computers. Auvik Network Management is a critical tool for us. It helps us discover network devices, stay on top of alerts, ensure proper backups, and locate specific devices when needed, allowing us to proactively manage our clients' IT infrastructure.

Auvik is a tool that discovers all the networking assets within our clients' sites. Many other tools do this, but we like how Auvik integrates into our existing infrastructure. The primary use case is discovering all our networking devices, managing them, and setting up alerts. We use Auvik with a combination of other tools. It's integrated with our ticket management system where most tickets are escalated.

I work at a university, and we use Auvik to check the school's network and ensure it works properly. Auvik covers all of our network devices, such as firewalls and servers. It doesn't generate many tickets daily—about three to five. Our schools have about 12,000 students and 10 members on our IT team spread through Melbourne and Sydney.

We use Auvik to monitor our entire network infrastructure from wireless to our firewalls, servers, and switches.

I originally purchased Auvik to assist in troubleshooting network issues on the local area network and wide area network. We were having some slowness issues, but they were only in certain segments of the network. I had no tools on-site to help me find where the problem was.

I am a network specialist. I use Auvik for troubleshooting where something may have gone offline. We utilize it for learning. We utilize it to do various levels of monitoring in terms of whether things are up, if a port is flapping, or if there is a configuration error. We also utilize it to gather data about things on various networks that we administer. As we have thousands of endpoints, it helps greatly with quick insights and with things that otherwise would take a lot of manual digging.

We use Auvik Network Management to monitor client sites for various network issues. Auvik provides us with a view of the entire network, including all connected devices. This allows us to visualize how these devices are interconnected and how data flows throughout the network.

We are an MSP and use Auvik Network Management to monitor network sites for our clients, including firewall switches, and other network devices. We install an Auvik collector on a probe at each client site.

We use Auvik Network Management to monitor the networks of our clients who subscribe to our network monitoring service. This includes everything from backing up and restoring configurations to maintaining a complete network map.

We use Auvik for monitoring and alerting on customer environments. We lacked visibility into specific aspects of our Local Area Network. Therefore, we required a solution capable of monitoring and alerting us about port activity and other relevant information at the switch level.

We use it for managing our inventory of assets and for receiving timely alerts from our servers.

It provides comprehensive visibility into your network infrastructure, automates network mapping, sends timely alerts for potential issues, and facilitates configuration management. With Auvik, you can receive notifications directly, ensuring you stay informed about the health and performance of your network. When I integrated Auvik, the primary goal was to uncover issues that might be occurring without my awareness. Essentially, I wanted to identify potential problems before they escalated to a point where I became aware of them, often when it was already too late. I sought early warnings for network issues to proactively address and mitigate them.

Our initial purpose was to look at network data from our endpoint protection units. We wanted more visibility into the traffic coming into and out of the organization.

We're using it just to monitor customer equipment and make backups for network device configuration changes. We're using maybe one percent of what it's capable of doing. We're trying to get some of our stuff straightened out since whoever set up our Auvik did not do a great job of organizing it.

I use it as a first line of information gathering. When properly configured, I am able to quickly diagnose and troubleshoot issues from the network's infrastructure level and go up to servers and other devices.

I use Auvik to create a network topology map for my business, which also serves as a monitoring tool for any downtime or issues within our company's network infrastructure. As a production company, we require continuous operation, so a tool like Auvik provides valuable visual insight even when I'm not physically present. We previously had a basic alerting system in place, but it was not sufficient when we experienced networking issues within one of our two buildings. Often, it was unclear which cables were connected to which devices and where the connections led. Auvik, unlike other tools I've used, excels at visualizing these connections, making it easier for me to identify the source of the problem.

We manually use Auvik for network monitoring, configuration backups, and syslogs. We implemented Auvik because we wanted to have a redundant monitoring solution that has a cloud component. Auvik utilizes a cloud component that centralizes all data collection and aggregation. Additionally, we employ multiple on-premises collectors to gather data from individual devices. Therefore, our deployment will have a collector at each site, supplemented by a secondary collector at our main site. This configuration ensures redundancy and seamless data transmission to the Auvik cloud.

We primarily use Auvik for managing and monitoring devices, including network devices, access points, and printers. We utilize Auvik's alerts to notify us of offline devices or any unusual behavior it detects, such as high interface utilization or low disk space. Additionally, we employ Auvik to automate the backup of our network switches. We implemented Auvik because we lacked visibility into potential network issues, such as switch or access point utilization. While I have a wireless controller that provides some insights, Auvik unifies this information into a single, comprehensive view. This centralized visibility enables us to proactively identify and address network problems. Auvik is deployed in a hybrid model because we have an on-prem collector that sends the information to the cloud.

We install the product on all of our customer's endpoints. As an IT services consultant and provider, we depend on it to help us monitor the SaaS applications in use in customer environments. This includes monitoring for shadow IT, but equally important is being able to monitor license usage of approved apps and report that usage back to our customers. Our customers' environments range from a handful of users to hundreds. Most of them are heavy SaaS users, and most work in at least hybrid environments, if not completely remote. Many of our customers are highly regulated or work with highly regulated customers themselves. All of them have intellectual property they're concerned about safeguarding, as well as customer information. This solution is one of a set of tools we use to control and protect these environments. It's one of the most important. Knowing about and stopping data from being stored or otherwise transmitted to unapproved SaaS applications is a primary concern for our customers, as it can cause regulatory violations or data loss and exposure - of both their customers' data and their own IP. It works quickly and proactively, allowing us to prevent these problems.

We use it for network monitoring. We don't do a lot of systems monitoring with it. We predominantly use it for core switches, external network adapters, and other similar things but not for the endpoints or server hardware. We are currently not using any of the automation functions.

We use this solution to monitor our network devices and servers, get alerts if devices go down, and get alerts when they come back up, which is important. Auvik alerts us about abnormal network traffic and certain ports on certain network devices or high utilization and high bandwidth. We're going to use it to monitor our virtual servers and virtual systems that of which our servers run. It gives us good visibility into our network. We're a resort and have about 800 employees. It is a single network with multiple VLANs. It is relatively straightforward, but we have a lot of remote buildings connected by fiber lengths. Therefore, it's spread out over about 1600 acres of property.

We use Auvik to monitor our customers' networks for performance and availability.

We use Auvik to discover devices on the network, to get a good layout of the network, and to have the solution back up the configuration of certain network devices.

I'm a technical team lead managing other engineers and specialists for several clients. I utilize Auvik for strategic discussions, escalations, and support tickets. I'm on the backend trying to coordinate responses to outages, feature requests, etc. We use multiple applications to manage our network. Auvik is our network mapping and discovery tool that creates alerts in our ticketing system. We use ConnectWise Automate and that suite of products for ticketing. It's not like Auvik is a ticketing help desk system with remote control, but it can do just about everything from a monitoring standpoint. We still use AppNeta for board mirroring or finding latency in network traffic.

We use Auvik for monitoring networks across all of our sites for alerts, reporting, configuration backups, and troubleshooting. Auvik does a little bit of everything when it comes to networking. I'm not the only person that utilizes Auvik, but I'm the only network engineer. The infrastructure team uses it for server monitoring. Security guys can also access it, but I'm the primary caretaker. I monitor 34 sites with 200 managed devices, and about another hundred are unmanaged. Altogether, I have over 2,600 devices that are not networked. If you subtract the network from that, it's about 2,300 devices that aren't network devices, including printers, servers, and computers. Auvik crawls and finds those kinds of things on the network. That's what I mean by total picture.

We're a managed services provider that caters primarily to movie theater clients. Most of our Auvik collectors are deployed at active movie theaters and point-of-sale environments. We use Auvik to get alerts on network activity and server resource utilization. We monitor firewalls, interfaces, traffic bandwidth utilization, and VPN usage. Auvik alerts us when a VPN or other device goes down. We monitor aspects like port utilization and which switches are being used for what or how much traffic goes across ports. We don't automate anything through Auvik. We have other tools we use for automating tasks on our systems. We're utilizing Auvik specifically for visibility into the networks and SNMP-assisted log alerts and functions like that. When those are triggered, other tools outside Auvik run the daily automation routines. It provides a single integrated platform for monitoring, but we use some other RMM tools to log into our servers and things like that. Those have some monitoring built into them, so we get duplicate alerts along with those. If a hard drive on a server fills up, I'll get an alert from Auvik and our RMM solution. But there's no other platform offering more monitoring or alerts that Auvik's not giving us. Auvik gives us more than what all of our other platforms give us, and it's all in one spot.

We manage IT infrastructure for 400 companies, and Auvik allows us to monitor it remotely. We have a portal to monitor these companies' servers, devices, routers, and APs constantly so we know when something is down and needs to be repaired in real-time. It's nice. We have it implemented in our Autotask and service desk portal, so it can automatically open and close tickets.

My company is a managed services provider managing network infrastructure for multiple clients. We use Auvik to monitor firewalls, routers, or switches. When network devices go offline, get instant email notifications so we can investigate the issue. We also use it to manage devices directly through a web browser remotely.

We're a managed services provider using Auvik to monitor our clients' infrastructure. It is part of a set of tools that keeps us informed when something goes wrong, and we use it to build network maps. You can get an idea of what's happening on-site even if you're unfamiliar with the client's setup. Sometimes it's the only thing on the network. It's competing with Ubiquiti if we have a Ubiquiti network. Not all the time, but sometimes.

We use Auvik as a network scanning tool so that we can detect devices that are connected to our office network. We can get information from those devices and track them down. It's a network monitoring and scanning tool, so we can detect rogue devices and network traffic as well. It's essential to see what's on our network. Auvik provides a single integrated platform from a network monitoring perspective. Having a single integrated platform is important for our organization because we obviously don't want to check multiple systems. It's deployed in a single location with multiple networks for different departments. There are 200 endpoints in our organization.

We use Auvik to monitor our client's infrastructure. It gives us real-time visibility into the devices, their status, and their availability at the device and interface level. Auvik monitors bandwidth utilization, TPU utilization, RAM, memory utilization, etc. Auvik is deployed in a mesh environment consisting of five locations and the data center. We'll be moving toward Azure, but I'm not sure how well Auvik could cover us in that space.

We are using it for more visibility on our network devices.

We're an MSP, and we support small to medium businesses from end to end, including printers, servers, and networks. We use Auvik to manage our clients' infrastructure. Our customers include companies running factories and hotels.

We have several different physical sites and we run our own network. Auvik has some exciting capabilities for aggregating Syslog from switches and having remote console administration across geographic locations. The solution puts a common off-wall in front of switch management but also makes it easy for us to go in and make changes. We use the solution across multiple locations and departments. We use Auvik where we have the most pain points because it's a charge per device brought online model. We use Auvik in a smaller proportion of our infrastructure, around 30% of our architecture.

We mostly use it for network monitoring. We also use it for configuration backup.

I use Auvik to monitor, check, and access all network licenses for different companies, including firewalls, servers, and other devices. The Auvik collector is deployed on the servers and in the management station. The agent collects all the information in the network and sends it to Auvik. Auvik's network map will display all of the devices. If a device is offline, it won't show, but the collector will automatically add it to the Auvik platform when it comes online.

We're an MSP, and we have deployed it to monitor the customer network and environment and make sure that the configurations are backed up and know when things were done.

We use it for our clients that have managed network services. We monitor their networks to see if there are any anomalies or unknown devices, and we use it for troubleshooting as needed.

We use it for insight into an entire network, all the devices on it, and for monitoring their health. We also have it hooked into our ticketing system for automated ticket generation from any of the devices that we need to manage.

We are on MSP with multiple clients. We set up a site for each client, and that way we can review and verify all their network equipment: firewalls, switches, routers, even servers, and VMware ESXi. We also get alerts and notifications when everything is disconnected so that we can quickly find the reason and make sure clients are not affected.

We use it for our small and medium businesses, specifically for data collection. We also use it for network mapping.

We are an MSP. We've got about 500 clients. So, multitenancy is pretty important to us. We're only interested in monitoring and managing network devices, and we define that as switches, routers, access points, and ESX hosts. Even though some of the things that we traditionally consider to be a computer—such as a laptop, a workstation, or a server—appear in Auvik, we do not do any management of them there. The RMM platform that we're currently using is wonderful when it comes to servers, laptops, desktops, and all that, but it is absolutely horrible for properly detecting or identifying a network device. In other words, SNMP to properly identify a device flat out did not work and does not work in our other solution. Auvik fills that gap and does a pretty good job when it comes to that. We have always used multiple applications, and it comes down to finding out what the strengths are of a particular application. Auvik does a great job when it comes to networking devices, but we couldn't do nearly as much as what we do for servers and workstations. So, we use it according to its strengths and our other tools according to theirs. Auvik is a SaaS-only product. There is no on-prem version. There are some definite pros and cons to it. Having to rely on someone else to handle all of the security aspects of something that's SaaS, especially in today's world, can be a little bit nerve-racking. When it is on-prem, you've got full control of ingress and egress. You can lock down the firewall and do all of that good stuff, but at the same time, not having to mess with all of the infrastructure and the things that are required to make a product function is pretty valuable. So, we don't have to worry about storage space, server speed, etc.

Our primary use case is to have a monitoring solution for our managed service clients. That was something we were offering, but we weren't really doing well on that front, in terms of having a proactive monitoring solution. That was the primary pain point we were trying to fix.

We initially got Auvik to monitor our network devices and equipment mainly for outages and that sort of issue. We have integrated its alert system and email-to-text solution from a local New Zealand telecommunications provider so that our IT staff can get text alerts to their phones. It's quite handy because you're not constantly monitoring your email. So for our different alerts, we get texts now as well as part of that. It might be on the weekend or something like that, and you're not sitting there monitoring your emails, so texts are a bit easier for our on-call IT person to get a text, and then they can check out what's going on. One of Auvik's services we use is TrafficInsights. It's reasonably new and wasn't around when we first got it. We can feed all the logs into there to see what connections are going and where things are connecting to the environment. It's pretty useful from a security perspective. For example, you can search and see when a specific IP address might have come into your environment if you need it to do an audit or a review. We generally use it for audits or checking where certain things are connecting from around the world. It's a good security feature we can use when we're worried about a device talking to a particular IP address. We can see how long it may have been talking to that. We haven't actually used it for network bandwidth as such. Auvik also acts as a config register, connecting and pulling the configurations of switches. It's good to have that stored there. If we need to restore or roll back to a particular config, those are saved somewhere else in addition to saving it manually before we make changes.

I use Auvik every day for everything. I can remote-terminal in, meaning I can be anywhere and jump in from my phone and make any changes I need to on switches.

I use it on a daily basis to monitor the portion of my network that is backbone. I have cloud access, but the collectors are on-prem.

I used to work at a managed service provider, and we needed a network topology mapping solution and discovered Auvik. So, we tried it out, and then we used Auvik until that MSP was bought out. I left the MSP world and became a network engineer at Greater Nevada Credit Union, where I'm now. We pretty much use it for topology mapping. We use it for mapping out the network and then monitoring the availability of the network infrastructure devices. There is also alerting whenever there are problems. So, we basically use it for monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting. We also use it for configuration management and automated backup. It is a managed solution, so they handle all of the platform upgrades and all that stuff. We have got whichever version they have got.

It gives me an overall idea of our network. It shows me where things are at. It tells me about devices being down, e.g., printers. I also use it to see web usage, e.g., what sites people are going to. It has a lot of uses. I check to see the overall network topology, when things go down, or whenever I get alerts from Auvik. I use the reporting part of it. Every day, I take a look at the reports every day. We are using the latest version.

Our primary use cases are for monitoring the network and backup for the switches and firewalls.

I have access to Auvik as the system administrator to use it to view my network and manage the various pieces of it. I needed a solution like Auvik because I wanted real-time network mapping. At the time, we were using Visio diagrams, which are obviously very hard to keep updated. And so to have something that is running the cloud in real-time on what our network looks like was something I really was interested in.

It is our primary monitoring tool for devices. We have virtual machines running the Auvik application. The collectors are also installed on the virtual machines.

I do internal IT for a company and I use Auvik for most of my daily tasks as they relate to firewalls, switches, and routing.

We are a multinational company in almost 55 countries. One of the reasons why we selected Auvik was we wanted to have insights into our networks. Ultimately, we can control them at a central level. Auvik was the best fit because it has: * A cloud-based solution using a SaaS model. * Visibility into end users using tools. * Terminal auto-connect, where we can connect devices from Auvik. * Some sort of an audit. * Backup consultations in the tool, which it maintains. It has really eased our life in terms of network operations.
