Domotz: For a comparable SaaS network monitoring tool with an actually published per-device or per-collector price
Auvik
Cloud-based network monitoring and management priced by managed device count, quote-only
As of 1 September 2026, Auvik's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. A SaaS network monitoring and management platform aimed heavily at managed service providers, covering discovery, mapping, configuration backup and traffic analysis. Softwr lists it under Networking. Auvik is made by Auvik Networks, available on Web.
Overview
What Auvik does
Auvik automatically discovers network devices and builds a live topology map, monitors performance, backs up switch and router configurations, and provides traffic insight, delivered entirely as SaaS with no on-premises server to maintain beyond a lightweight local collector. It is built with MSPs specifically in mind, with multi-tenant management across client networks and packaging aimed at that buyer. The billing mechanism, confirmed directly by Auvik, is per managed device, with categories like access points, printers, UPS units and network storage monitored at no additional charge so the countable device total is narrower than a full device inventory would suggest. Unlike Domotz's pricing, which is explicitly per collector or per device with a stated public rate, Auvik discloses no public price at all; every quote comes through a sales conversation, so a buyer cannot compare Auvik's real cost against Domotz or PRTG without engaging sales for each. Buyers are MSPs monitoring multiple client networks from one pane of glass, and internal IT teams at mid-size organisations wanting automated network mapping and config backup without operating their own monitoring server. The trade-off against a self-hosted open source tool is convenience and MSP-specific multi-tenant features in exchange for both a recurring SaaS cost and total pricing opacity until a quote is obtained.
What people use it for
- An MSP wanting a single SaaS platform to monitor and map multiple client networks with per-client segregation
- An internal IT team wanting automatic, versioned configuration backup for switches and routers without managing that infrastructure themselves
- A network team wanting continuous, automatically updated network topology mapping rather than maintaining diagrams manually
- An organisation wanting traffic visibility by application without deploying a separate flow collector

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Auvik.
- No pricing is published anywhere on the site; every number requires submitting a lead form and speaking to sales, which slows down basic vendor comparison
- Billing by managed device count means the total cost is not knowable in advance without first running an accurate device count against Auvik's specific inclusion and exclusion rules
- As a SaaS-only product with no on-premises option, an organisation loses monitoring visibility if its own internet connection to Auvik's cloud goes down at the same time as the incident it needs to diagnose
- MSP-focused multi-tenant packaging may include features an internal IT team monitoring only its own network does not need, while still pricing against that broader feature set
- Configuration backup and restore depend on Auvik correctly supporting the specific hardware models on a given network; less common vendors may have thinner support
- Volume discounts exist but are also not published, so an MSP scaling client count has no way to model margin impact before negotiating each contract renewal
