AppNeta vs. Auvik

AppNeta is well suited any place where there are customer facing applications where speed/efficiency determines the customer perception of business service.

Auvik is fantastic for managing multi-site, multi-company networks - very well suited for MSP or consultative technology companies. Navigation is simple and easy between clients and their sites. Auvik is less well suited for managing single sites or single companies - it is really meant to be used at a larger scale.

• AppNeta provides detailed application availability & uptime.
• AppNeta provides great longitudinal data regarding how the applications perform including an overall grade or "AppDex."
• AppNeta sends notifications of service downtime that aids in technical dispatch.

• Maps out devices to switch ports.
• Monitors, alerts, and reports on network device and port utilization.
• Quickly created complete network diagrams.
• Works well in a co-manage environment enabling teams full but restricted access to specific sites. Integrates well with site specific access in ConnectWise Automate.

Incentivized

• Hardware has a lot of bugs.
• Auto-updates cannot be turned off on the hardware, causing blips in monitoring.

• The map is not easy to quickly zoom in and out of or pan around. Usually requires a lot of filter toggling. Keyboard shortcuts for this would be nice.
• Better global settings that can be pushed to multiple client organizations
• Security groups/RBAC for user permissions across multiple clients
• Ability to change the URL

Because it's an amazing product.

The program can be a bit unwieldy at times, however the majority of information is displayed in a readable and friendly way. The maps and popup information box from the bottom can be harder to use on a smaller screen but on a 1080p+ display tends to work fine.

We have never had a major outage or impact that was noticeable.

Pages can be slow to load on larger sites but tends to be fine for most clients.

Timely support is one of AppNeta's strong suits. But the ability to develop permeant fixes for issues within there product is where they lack.

Fast response and knowledgeable. If the technician does not know, they will look for the information and get back to you.

AppNeta, when it is functioning, works wonders for discovering problem areas of the network - quite a bit more than other products in my opinion. But the amount of times we have a network blip and I got to check AppNeta to find out the hardware had hit a bug 2 weeks before and they have not been functioning since makes it hard to compete with other products at this time.

Auvik's license structure is simple and affordable. Auvik's license is based on total network devices in your network. They charge only for total number of Switches, Routers, firewalls and Wireless controllers in your network. All other devices license would be free of charge

Auvik has worked on sites with 15+ offices connected with VPN's and we have not encountered any issues with the monitoring. On larger sites the map can be a bit cumbersome to read however it can be cleaned up easily with device filters.

Incentivized

• A reduction in network outages and length of network outages.
• More detailed post outage investigation available.

Incentivized

• We are at an initial stage of device onboarding and Auvik already provides quick network documentation without having to worry about updating; this is done dynamically.
• Helpful for MSP in that it uses role-based access control to present customer-focused device management, and simplifying administration for monitoring and alerting, dashboards and reports, and billing.
