Considered Both Products	Elecard Boro No answer on this topic	Intermapper Verified User Anonymous Chose Intermapper We have been using Intermapper for years and have been satisfied with it to the point that we haven't looked at competitors. The maintenance cost is very low and the product does exactly what we expect and need it to do. The product has gone through a couple owner transitions … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Intermapper Intermapper is a cross between WhatsUp Gold and Nagios. Whatsup gold being for a less technical end-user and Nagios doing more than just SNMP scans and up down monitoring. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Intermapper We felt, with both pricing and level of complexity, that Intermapper was the right solution. We looked at WhatsUpGold, but the price was too high for us at the time. We looked at Nagios, which is free, but we didn't find it intuitive. Incentivized Helpful? Dan Pelton Network Engineer Chose Intermapper I selected Intermapper because it was so easy to customize the display to exactly what we wanted. I wanted something that changed colors based on availability and something that we could display on TV's for our NOC. This fit all the criteria perfectly. Incentivized Helpful? Ryan Stasel IT Operations Manager Chose Intermapper I have 15 years invested in Intermapper, so my inertia to keep from changing is relatively high, and the cost to do so would be higher than just renewing the license each year. Traditionally though, Intermapper requires less work to get going, and less work to implement a given … Incentivized Helpful? Jim Cobb Director of IT Chose Intermapper Some of these other packages have some very sophisticated capabilities that Intermapper lacks. The problem is, not too many IT departments have the bandwidth to set them up properly and us the sophisticated features and maintain them. So why not get something that does what you … Incentivized Helpful? Geoff Benedetti Network Analyst Chose Intermapper We used to use What's up Gold for our network monitoring but Intermapper seems to have better mapping capabilities. We used to use Ciscoworks for monitoring our routers and switches but it was limited to just those network devices and was a pain to set up and manage. We … Incentivized Helpful? Nick Erwin Network Administrator Chose Intermapper InterMapper offers a cheaper and easier network map over SolarWinds Orion Network Atlas. It lacks SolarWinds graphs, reports and statistics.

User Testimonials
	Elecard Boro	Intermapper
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	If you've never mapped your network out before, download a demo of Intermapper and let it run. Your jaw will drop as your network grows before your eyes. If you have your network already mapped, you still would like InterMapper because it will find stuff you did not even know you have. If I were a network consultant, the first thing I would do when I hit a client's site is to start a scan with Intermapper. You will very quickly learn what the topography is.
