## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-23 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## My picks, in the order I'd actually recommend them
> 
> **1. Domotz** - My default for a small-to-midsize remote team. Fully cloud-hosted (no on-prem server to VPN into), auto-discovers devices, maps topology, and crucially gives you secure remote access and remote power control so you can fix things at a site you'll never visit. Published flat pricing around $1.50/device/month, month-to-month. That predictability matters when you're adding and dropping sites. ([domotz.com/compare](https://www.domotz.com/compare/domotz-vs-auvik), [blog.domotz.com](https://blog.domotz.com/all/domotz-vs-prtg-network-monitor/))
> 
> **2. Auvik** - The one I'd name if you're an MSP or an IT team managing many client networks with real switching/routing complexity. Vendor-agnostic, no on-site hardware, excellent automated layer-2/3 topology discovery and config backup. Reviewers run it across 15+ VPN-connected offices without trouble. Downside: quote-based pricing, billed per "managed" network device, so budget it carefully. ([trustradius.com](https://www.trustradius.com/compare-products/auvik-vs-domotz))
> 
> **3. Obkio** - Pick this one if your actual pain is "the VPN/Zoom/Teams is slow for remote people" rath
