Easy mapping easy to configure in few step

Maping with iperconvergent sistem with hypervisor VMWare

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The speed and accuracy of the agent scanning is great.

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.

Whether you are overseeing a traditional wheel and spoke infrastructure or managing a distributed environment in the cloud and with virtual machines, you need to know how the network is performing. And you always want to be the first one to know if a problem arises. Network monitoring is the only way to attain and maintain that situational awareness and no solution is more flexible or easier to use than UVexplorer.

I’ve relied on UVexplorer for years because it enables me to see exactly what I need to monitor to ensure that critical systems are always up and running.

We had some performance issues at the start. But worked them mostly out

Again, the hierarchical networks look great in the software! And the support has consistently been outstanding and very patient.

We have customers that have an idea of what their fiber network looks like but seeing it mapped out by UVexplorer has added a huge benefit.

The software is great for hierarchical networks but the mapping of a mesh network is a little more confusing. My customers print out the map of their network and reference them. The hierarchical maps are clean and easy to follow but the mesh networks have fiber link lines that lay on top of other lines which makes it hard to determine at a glance how things interconnect. Also, where line cross can be a little confusing. It would be great if the junction between lines crossing looked more like a line 'bridge' instead of an X.

Has been very good.

Ease of discovery and topology mapping and easy integration with PRTG with completee flexibility og getting only the required details intoPRTG

Asset classification needs slight improvement

Discovery and mapping are easy and accurate.

Link aggregation will show as either a redundant connection or give a false reading.

Dashboard like the most and it is very easy of use .

Configuration is little difficult and need to understand full configuration.

If you need to go to the correct port on a switch armed only with an IP address or machine names this is the tool to have.

Since it really use layer 2 in detection and mapping... it is the only tool I reviewed that not only actually show IP to Port mapping but also provide various useful filtering (by vlan, port, gateway...etc), straight forward.

The price, the less integrated interface (it go with multiple windows way) and a bit simplistic help/manual.

Easy to use easy to deploy. Lots of features. Supports monitoring of a vast array of protocols and services.

Features are great. Licensing model is not.

IP Asset management has become an easy task and identifying security breaches and network connections has improved security at a quick glance. Changes to the network are easy to identify and manage.

UVExplorer has allowed us to get a view of the network and connected items in large environments with almost no effort. The built in tools are functional and relevant to a Managed Service Provider

The fact that I did not find this product 4 years ago when I chose our Managed Service strategy partners

Provides much needed features that were missing from PRTG we needed. Device config backups and mapping.

The dynamic mapping and ability to create a Visio. This has hands down been the most useful feature.

More options for dynamic devices and manually updating device information

The experience has been very good. The product has some very good features for mapping and backup. The support has been outstanding. It is a true partnership with our companies and we are thrilled with the support that we receive. We also feel that we have a voice in updates and are contributing to future features in the product.

The integration with PRTG and the ability to provide better maps and also device backups.

The all or nothing port monitoring license counts. It would be good to not count end user ports, printer ports, and devices that are not critical. The device backup process should be independent of the device discovery.

UVExplorer has helped our business gain a quick insight into what our network looks like but it lacks the robustness and customization that other more expensive software provides. If UVExplorer could provide more robust features and stay at the same price point. I could see it gaining many more customers.

UVExplorer quickly gathered information about my network. It crawled through the treasure trove of SNMP data that my switches and routers gave up. UVExplorer is able to gather all the necessary information fast and reliably. That is the best thing about it. It doesn't take much to configure it before letting it loose.

The network map that UVExplorer provides is fairly static in way that won't allow you to dynamically / manually update the map from within the map itself. Since some machines could be behind a hub, it would be nice to quickly attach those machines to the proper ports on a an unmanaged switch from the map but you cannot do that.

Easy to use for access to remote instances.

Easy access to remote instances, friendly usability.

Greatly expands the capabilities of PRTG, and is useful on its own for network mapping.

This natively integrates with Paessler PRTG and greatly expands the capabilities of both products, specifically in regards to network mapping and autodiscovery. Setup is fairly simple, and once configured, it is a mature enterprise-grade product with the expected performance and reliability to match.

This is not a catch-all feature expansion of PRTG, you must make sure your environment is able to take advantage of the tools UVexplorer offers. In addition, the UI is slightly dated, but in this case it is a sign of product maturity.

Overall, I'm very well pleased with UV explorer, it's an awesome product for the price.

I love the fact that I can see exactly where an endpoint is on my network, where it's located, on what switchport just by searching by the name or IP address.

It doesn't have real time switch monitoring. For example, to show live on a map when there are any issues with any of the switch links, whether it goes down (L1,L2 or L3), or if there are any routing issues, or any possible problems on the network.

Discovering network devices and insert them into PRTG monitoring Solution .

Very useful and fast in scanning network Useful organization of data gathered in different type of view Very useful the link/connector with PRTG monitor to insert devices to monitor and manage

The design of the network diagram can be improved sometimes it stretch too much the draw but in 4 5 clicks is possible to adjust.

We use UVexplorer for inventory of computer assets and network diagramming

We liked UVexplorer for its simplicity in implementation and for the easy handling of the tool, the mapping of the network and the integration with PRTG Network Monitor gives it a plus for us.

It is not web-based and cannot be configured in spanish

Quick overview to which Ports assets are accessed.

Not all assets are accessed correctly on the switches.

Ease to use and operate, Understanding the network topology

maps can be more intuitful with more icons

to create a Network Map easily, whenever we need to update Network Documentation, or to help to troubleshoot network topology issues.

Haven't found any cons yet. We use UVexplorer to generate Network Map. It does its job. I have no complains.

Map generation and integration with PRTG

Lack of functionality and basic funtions
