Why IT pros are switching from ManageEngine to Auvik
| Reason | Why Auvik wins | 💬 What customers who made the switch are saying |
|---|---|---|
| Fast deployment | ✅ Under an hour | “We had a demo of ManageEngine, but setting it up was like pulling teeth. I was in the middle of the demo with the people, and nothing was working right. With Auvik, we were up in 15 minutes after downloading the collector and getting it on the network. It started populating data without the need to provide a lot of information. It went so smoothly. That sold me on it.” Jeremy C. (Source: PeerSpot) |
| User-friendly interface | ✅ Simple & intuitive | “ManageEngine was particularly challenging due to its lack of user-friendliness. New hires consistently struggled to navigate the platform, requiring extensive training. Thankfully, this isn’t the case with Auvik… The deployment is straightforward and takes 30 minutes to set up, create the site, and deploy Auvik. One person is enough to deploy Auvik.” Technical Project Manager (Source: PeerSpot) |
| Real-time mapping | ✅ Instant visualization | “I’ve tested Pulseway, ManageEngine, SolarWinds, PRTG, and Domotz. Auvik blasts the other ones out of the water. In addition to the topology and the user interfaces, there is nothing like Auvik from a display or user experience perspective. Auvik’s dashboard is clean and not too busy. It’s easy to use, interpret and drill down into a device if necessary. It rapidly detects changes in the network environment and responds quickly with alerts.” Oda K. (Source: PeerSpot) |
| Alerting | ✅ Pre-configured, intelligent alerts | “[Auvik] has also reduced our mean time to resolution because it’s better at alerting us… It’s quicker than other platforms. We see things before they happen, such as a hard drive failing inside of a RAID set, or a problem inside a VMware system before there is a bigger problem. We can be more proactive than we could be with the other tools that we have. I’ve seen some minor issue alerts from other tools, but a lot of time they can’t see anything in a RAID set, but Auvik does.” Jason J. (Source: PeerSpot) |
| Automated configuration backups | ✅ Included | “The backup of configs is also valuable. It does SSH into each network device and retains a copy of the configs on the machines as well as the change logs. So, when something suddenly stops, you can compare the configs to see what happened. You can do a side-by-side comparison of the configs to see exactly what changed. That’s fantastic.” Senior Engineer (Source: PeerSpot) |
| Scalability | ✅ Unlimited (cloud) | “I’ve used [Auvik] for everything from companies that are in a single building up to a company that had offices in 20 time zones with almost 100 offices, some of them with 1,000 users, and it was able to scale up to that. I’ve never had worries about how big this can go.” Sr. Network Engineer (Source: PeerSpot) |
| Multi-tenancy | ✅ True multi-site management | “I couldn’t find anything else that met the needs of a multi-tenant environment the way Auvik does.” Jesse C. (Source: PeerSpot) |
| Minimal upkeep | ✅ Cloud-hosted | “Auvik is a cloud-based solution, and it definitely has advantages over on-prem network monitoring solutions. We don’t have to manage anything on-prem, and we don’t have to patch the backend. We don’t have to allocate resources for the management console to work, and it’s accessible from anywhere. We don’t have to back up the virtual machine or the appliance because everything is managed by Auvik. We really like that part.” Director of IT (Source: PeerSpot) |
| Integrations | ✅ Pre-built PSA & ITSM integrations | “Auvik allowed me to seamlessly integrate into my new workplace and gain immediate visibility into the entire environment. Implementing the other tools would have been a much more time-consuming process.” Dan S. (Source: PeerSpot) |
| Predictable pricing | ✅ Pay only for routers, switches, firewalls, controllers — the rest are free! | “Auvik is extremely fair in how they break down a billable device versus something that isn’t… 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.” Anthony L. (Source: PeerSpot) |
In other words:
“We did look into ManageEngine… Auvik was easier to get configured and it was easier to understand the data. Overall, it was more than just user-friendly and had a good price scheme.”
