Auvik

Auvik gives your IT team real-time visibility across every device and connection on your network so you can fix problems before they cause downtime.

SMB score 7/10/10

Overview

If network outages or mystery IT issues eat up time at your business, Auvik addresses that directly. The software automatically discovers every device on your network, builds a live visual map of how everything connects, and sends alerts the moment something goes wrong. You get 64 pre-configured alerts that work from day one, automated device inventory that replaces spreadsheets and wire tracing, and automatic configuration backups so you can recover fast if something breaks. One IT manager at Seyer Industries reported that Auvik speeds up network issue remediation by 25 to 50 percent. The tool supports over 700 device vendors out of the box, runs in the cloud, and most networks reach full visibility in under an hour. A 14-day free trial requires no credit card and includes all features.

Features

  • Real-time network monitoring with live device and connection visibility
  • Automated network mapping that updates as your network changes
  • 64 pre-configured alerts with no complex setup required
  • Automated device inventory and documentation that replaces manual tracking
  • Automatic configuration backups with version history and change tracking

Best for

Auvik fits small businesses that rely on a dedicated IT person or small IT team to keep their network running. It works especially well if your team wastes time manually tracking devices, troubleshooting blind, or recovering from network issues without proper documentation.

Why this SMB score

Auvik delivers real IT time savings and strong independent reviews at 4.7 out of 5 on G2, but the lack of transparent pricing and the requirement for at least basic IT knowledge limit its accessibility for the smallest or least technical small businesses.
