Simple and cost effective solution

UV explorer is simple and cost effective solution that helps IT administrator identify, track and troubleshoot IT infrastructure . UV explorer provides fast, accurate discovery of network devices and the connections between them.

PROS

It was very easy to deploy and get used to each feature of the software. It hardly took me time to identify and track network issues using UV explorer. Great deal for somebody who is not willing to spend lot of time in just understanding features of the software rather wants simple yet useful tool .

CONS

I couldn't get much use of self updating maps features in UV-explorer . Hoping to make use of it in better way in future. Also felt that mesh network mapping is little confusing.

Reasons for switching to UVexplorer

Wanted to try a simple yet powerful network monitoring tool

Quick and easy overview

We looked for a quick and easy solution for helping our teams on the field. The software was quickly deployed, offered more then enough solutions. It is a good solution for low-level monitoring without to many shiny tools.

PROS

I liked the software as it is simple in lay-out. It just shows what we expect to see without to many distractions.

CONS

I did not like the way you have to configure reporting. It does ask some training and understanding. Luckily your manual is understandable. I do think that to create 'threshold reporting' a better layout can be developed. Just click the interface, tell what you like to monitor, add a threshold and run.

UV Explorer - better asset management and view of overall infrastructure architecture

overall we are happy with UV Explorer with the price we invested on it as it discovers maps our architecture easily and we can easily take over and access the systems there and then if any issue comes up. Network assets management, Integration with 3rd party. ofcourse it has its own limitations like all the tools does have hope they overcome those things like access through web server instead login into UV Explorer applications. in short it satisfy with the best features with what we have invested.

PROS

Yes, first it met the basic requirement of auto-discovery of all the assets and management easy. second, it is easy to integrate with PRTG network Monitoring. easy in monitoring each and every interface.

CONS

It seems to be complicated if your not aware of networking knowledge and also not so user-friendly GUI. there is no web application access as we need to login to UV Server all the time. we cannot provide access to the server to everyone user. web application HTTPS access needed.

Reason for choosing UVexplorer

cost-effective, features, support, and most importantly easy integration and configuration management and administration.

Reasons for switching to UVexplorer

financial it is not affordable, recent attacks and very complicated GUI a high knowledge is required.

Agent is great - server side is convoluted

Again, the agent side is great. I was able to figure out how to configure my scans in little time and without reading the manuals. The server side was a hair pulling mess. The support seems to be email only and I never got a response. I had to read and reread the set up manual just to get the web front end to work and be able to log in. I still can't figure out many steps on the server side.

PROS

The speed and accuracy of the agent scanning is great.

CONS

My god, the server side of this product is pretty convoluted. While there's an amazing depth of ability, the UI and the way you interact with the server side of the product to work with the agents seems like it was developed with no end user testing. It is a mess that only seems workable if you either wrote the product yourself, or have the exact mindset of the developer. There seems to be complexity where there is no need - it is amazing frustrating to use this product on the server side.

Reason for choosing UVexplorer

I had used the trial of the agent and that was great. I really regret not trying the server side before purchasing. I absolutely would've chosen a different product based on my experience with the server side.
