We performed a comparison between Auvik Network Management (ANM) and SCOM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Network Monitoring Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The topography and historical data are excellent; the latter essentially allows us to see back in time, which is helpful as users don't always report issues promptly. The ability to go back and look at historical data is a good feature."
"The solution allows us to spend less time on setup and maintenance and less time on issue resolution."
"Auvik has alerts that help you be proactive by telling you when something is behaving abnormally."
"It shows all my devices and it shows everything that is possibly connected to the network... It gives me how many devices or switches are connected, and what is connected to each switch, including how many printers are on it."
"Monitoring is probably the most active thing Auvik does for us. If a particular device on the network goes down, we have that granularity to see which network element is causing the problem."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to see usage alerts on all of our devices."
"Its network discovery capabilities are very impressive. The discovery piece is amazing. I don't know if they have an AI or some type of advanced intelligence inside of their program that helps with the discovery piece. I haven't seen anything that discovers products that well and is able to label them, tag them, and pull as much information about them. I don't know what drives that engine, but I'm just absolutely blown away by it. It is cool."
"Automated configuration backups and automated network diagrams are the most valuable."
"This solution allows us to standardize all of the reports for monitoring the network, so it helps a lot for auditing purposes."
"SCOM has helped us to monitor all the VMs in our environment, especially the Windows servers."
"The monitoring features are the most valuable. We have seen a major benefit from that so far."
"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."
"SCOM's most valuable features are the network path feature, reporting, and integration with business intelligence."
"This is a product that does more generally than any of the competing solutions."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"The most valuable feature is the extensibility, as there are really no limits as to what you can do with it."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The solution can improve by increasing the tech file management capability."
"The map itself is a little clunky in terms of zooming in, zooming out, and moving around because you have to use the manual on-screen buttons as opposed to being able to click and drag."
"I would like to see some recommendations in terms of steps that could be taken to assess the alerts. A platform that I have used is Darktrace, which does security testing, and it let us know what was going on, what may have caused it, and what could be done... if Auvik could recommend common ways to go about doing what needs to be done to resolve an alert, that would be helpful."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect."
"It requires a lot of hands-on maintenance when it comes to cleanup. That's probably the biggest problem I've had, because I don't have a dedicated resource to manually clean up stale records. I have a customer where it shows 4,000 devices because of the duplication of devices that I have to clean up."
"I would like a Power BI-style dashboard that you could show to a non-technical person with metrics like the number of devices accessing wireless, the amount of internet, total issues resolved each month, etc."
"I'd like to see some enhancements to Auvik's network map, including the ability to focus on specific areas without viewing the entire map."
"A feature I'd like to see is a stat breakdown of our networks at the end of every month, showing package drop rates for each network and so on. For example, this data delivered in an email would be a good feature."
"It'll help if they can provide real-time or closer to real-time monitoring."
"Direct integration with third-party tools, like ticketing systems, is lacking but would be beneficial."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"The console feature is very poor, and it would be very good for us if this were improved."
"The dashboard features are not user-friendly for our management team, only for the technical department."
"On-prem network monitoring is something that could be improved drastically."
"In terms of features that could be improved, I would say the agent integration into the operating system. We are having difficulties integrating Linux into some of the networking devices."
"It would be a much better product if Microsoft provided management packs with the product."
