Auvik: when it makes sense.
Auvik suits enterprises with substantial network infrastructure; for small networks, lighter solutions suffice.
Keep if
You manage complex network infrastructure.. You need 24/7 monitoring of critical equipment.
- You use it at least once a week
- The monthly cost (€10) is small next to the time it saves you
Challenge if
You have a small network with few devices.. You're looking for free tools.
- You use it less than once a month
- A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
