Multi-Vendor Network Intelligence with SuzieQ

Empowering enterprises to radically streamline their network operations

Named a “Cool Vendor” in network automation by Gartner, SuzieQ uses an innovative approach to collecting and building a datastore of the network over time, including data thats otherwise available only by logging into devices.

This data coupled with the analysis SuzieQ provides becomes the foundation for automated workflows for day-to-day activities as well as project-specific initiatives, enabling network teams to become hyper-efficient and productive.

Every day, network engineers struggle with networks that are harder to operate than ever. Today’s network observability tools struggle to answer some basic questions such as:

  • What did the network look like an hour ago? A day ago? A week ago?

  • What VLANs in my network have no MAC addresses?

  • Can I track an IP address as it moves across the wired and wireless networks?

  • Is anyone connected to the secure network segments that shouldn’t be?

  • Is my BGP configured correctly?

  • Is the expected path MTU between 172.16.1.101 and 172.17.1.101 a jumbo MTU?

  • How do I ensure my network documentation is up to date?

The Enterprise Edition

Based on the SuzieQ open source project, SuzieQ Enterprise provides a new level of insight into any network. With a comprehensive GUI, CLI and API, teams of any skill level can change how they audit, investigate, validate and troubleshoot their networks.

You don’t have to know any programming or learn arcane query languages to feel the power of network automation. However, if you’re a DevOps ninja, SuzieQ allows you to perform complex tasks easily, without having to worry about complex parsing or platform specifics.

SuzieQ is deployed in production at sites ranging from less than a 100 devices to ones with thousands. They range across campus networks, data center networks, industrial warehouses and more.
