Discover why IT pros are switching from PRTG Network Monitor to Auvik Network Management.
“Auvik is extremely fair in how they break down a billable device versus something that isn’t, especially compared to PRTG, which charges for a number of sensors. Auvik makes it really easy to understand that you aren’t going to get billed for certain things. They’re cutting themselves short, in my opinion, but I’ve never had to worry about pricing from Auvik. It’s always been very affordable.”

“You can use PRTG, but it’s a pain to configure and resource-heavy. Auvik never causes issues on the networks because it’s lightweight…You should go with Auvik if you can squeeze it into your budget because the time savings and ease of use are worth it. In the long run, you’ll end up paying for the other solutions in labor costs and other expenses.”

“I’ve used PRTG. Auvik is simpler to deploy and the licensing model is more straightforward.”

“That’s one thing I have liked compared to PRTG. Auvik’s out-of-the-box alerting is very straightforward and handles the alerts you are likely to see.”

“Auvik was really the only fit for our business model, since we are an MSP. I couldn’t find anything else that met the needs of a multi-tenant environment the way Auvik does.”

“With PRTG, we had to manually select and choose what we wanted to be monitored, which required a significant amount of setup time. In contrast, I found Auvik to be much easier to set up and get running quickly.”
