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."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The best features are the alerting and monitoring."
"The most valuable feature is device discovery through SNMP."
"They have this live chat feature that's available most of the time, and they respond quickly. The support team can access what you're asking them to look at immediately and typically resolve issues quickly. Most of my problems are addressed during the chat session and don't require a follow-up email or phone call."
"I like how Auvik gives us a quick overview of the overall situation."
"I don't worry about the scalability of the solution because it is quite a broad, scalable, modern platform."
"The most valuable feature of Auvik is its ability to drill down and identify unusual activity on the network, such as unauthorized devices connecting to our Wi-Fi."
"Auvik's email alerts are convenient because we're always monitoring email, and it's easier to receive the alerts in your inbox."
"I like Auvik's SNMP capabilities. Seeing all the metrics and analytics in one dashboard is a game-changer. The topology is excellent."
"Being able to make and customize management packs and send out notifications is very valuable."
"The stability has been great."
"I like the historical reporting of observer metrics."
"Availability monitoring is the feature I have found most valuable, as well as the capacity and ability to send notifications."
"The ease of deployment, especially on Windows platforms, is valuable."
"The solution is used for monitoring the hardware inventory. For instance, it helps with the whole operational monitoring view for the company's infrastructure."
"It's easy to use."
"The advantages of SCOM are that it is definitely user friendly and a more appropriate solution for what we need."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"The dashboard needs to be more intuitive."
"Auvik has issues with collecting information from some devices. I don't know if this is an issue on Auvik's end or if the device isn't compatible. We have noticed with some clients have been unable to add their devices to Auvik due to compatibility, but devices are fickle. I think it's a device issue and not an Auvik issue."
"I don't know if it has integrations with ticketing systems so that alerts would get to the ticketing system right away. That would be a good feature to add."
"Auvik could include more customization options and the ability to efficiently manage additional features like printer monitoring."
"I would like more customizable alerts."
"The search could be slightly more intelligent. If I type in "Dell" and put an extra "L," Auvik doesn't give a suggestion, "Did you mean 'Dell?'" I have to fix that."
"Auvik could be better integrated with our ticketing system ConnectWise Manage. We tried integrating Auvik to create tickets, but working to implement a more granular classification system based on priority. The important thing is that we get the alerts, regardless of priority, but that's something that can be improved."
"To improve customer onboarding, Auvik could consider offering a free tier of the product."
"The configurations could be better. There are multiple tests where you can do something, but they can be a trigger as well. The overriding methodologies are not that easy. The configurations are difficult. The configuration and thorough day-to-day operations to get them to the level you want takes some time. It's very difficult."
"Third-party tools have had to be created to make SCOM management pack creation more efficient and effective. However, this weighs down the application as it just adds a resource requirement, which is ballooning the size of the necessary storage and all that for essentially substandard components."
"The solution should have more tools for monitoring the cloud engine versus on-premise."
"I would like to see more standard libraries for the market solutions, out of the box, that you don't need to do a lot of work on."
"Then there is also an issue with capacity and limited space. That is something that needs to be improved."
"The solution can be improved by expanding to cloud usage."
"Application monitoring must be improved."
"Non Windows monitoring is fairly weak. Network device monitoring is not reliable."
