What it does
Auvik Network Management is a cloud-based network monitoring product for IT teams and managed service providers. A lightweight collector discovers network devices and gathers signals through SNMP, syslog, flow protocols, and vendor protocols. The resulting topology and device-level information help operators detect performance changes and narrow down where network traffic or connectivity is affected.
Auvik's first step is to deploy its collector on the network to be monitored. The product page says discovery begins from that collector and supports SNMP, syslog, flow protocols, and vendor protocols; it also lists support for devices from more than 700 vendors. Once data arrives, operators can use the network map and device views to inspect bandwidth, packet loss, jitter, VPN capacity, syslog, and interface behavior.
The monitoring page describes more than 50 preconfigured alerts, with thresholds and notifications that teams can customize. A practical example is checking whether a slowdown is tied to packet loss on a particular link or to an upstream internet connection. These signals help an operator locate and assess a problem; they do not automatically repair a router or ISP outage.
Auvik offers a 14-day trial without a credit card. Its public pricing route asks for company and contact information to provide pricing, so the paid cost remains quote-based rather than a published rate.
Strengths
- A collector can automatically discover network devices and build a topology map.
- The documented monitoring views cover packet loss, bandwidth, jitter, VPN sessions, and centralized syslog.
- More than 50 preconfigured alerts are available, and alert thresholds and notifications can be customized.
Watch out for
- The monitoring workflow depends on deploying a collector and connecting it to the network's supported monitoring protocols.
Best for
- IT teams that need live inventory and topology visibility across switches, routers, and firewalls
- Managed service providers monitoring network performance across multiple sites
- Investigating bandwidth, packet-loss, jitter, or VPN-capacity changes
