FAQ

Questions

Is Awernica a replacement for IPVM?

No. IPVM is research and news for deciding what to buy. Awernica keeps track of what you have already installed: lifecycle, firmware, site review and replacement.

Is Awernica affiliated with IPVM?

No. Awernica is independent and has no affiliation with IPVM. This page describes IPVM only as its own public pages do.

Can I use both?

Yes. Many teams research products in one place and maintain their installed base in another. Awernica covers the second part, across manufacturers.

Does Awernica test products?

No. Awernica collects lifecycle status, firmware and specifications from manufacturers' published information and keeps it per product. It does not run its own product tests.
