Considered Both Products	SolarWinds ipMonitor Umair Mehboob Senior Devops Engineer Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We were trying to evaluate different providers and ipMonitor suited us because we had on-prem and cloud instances and management decided to check the paid tool. The ipMonitor is a very responsive tool and it served the purpose well but as IT is evolving and needs are changing, … Incentivized Helpful? Emma Jones Smith Senior Software Engineering Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor LogicMonitor is software with a fast-loading interface, with integrated alerts, so establishing them is simple due to its pre-configurations. However, SolarWinds ipMonitor [has] more complete characteristics because its interface is modern and easy to use. It offers fast and … Incentivized Helpful? Rekha Yadav Development Team Lead Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor The way SolarWinds has clubbed the features and capabilities in SolarWinds ipMonitor is not available in other 3rd party or native tools. Even if they are available then they are very costly. I think SolarWinds is positioning ipMonitor so as to test their footprint on SaaS … Incentivized Helpful? Dylan Eikelenboom Security Officer Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor Both alternatives were great offerings, but were too extensive for our business needs. We needed something that had very low set-up costs, was easily usable, and did all the basics we need; performance metrics analysis, rogue IP detection, network mapping. In the end, along … Incentivized Helpful? Arnab Mukherjee ITSM and Project Management Consultant Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor SolarWinds NPM provides more functionalities than ipMonitor. It is for medium - large enterprise and provides lots of monitoring options. Incentivized Helpful? Nikhil Kumar Sharma Associate Consultant Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor Although there are very less SaaS based tools available in the market, SolarWinds is somewhere in middle as compared to other tools such as LogicMonitor and ScienceLogic. Reason being the timing of the product launch and features enhancement. However current capabilities in … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Analyst Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We have run Zabbix in the past and while it is a great and very flexible tool (much more than SolarWinds), it is also an Open Source tool that depends heavily on the community. When it comes to more complex environments and global implementations with business critical … Incentivized Helpful? Mike Mozola Senior Systems Engineer Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor I had some limited exposure to Zabbix that was provided by the client for monitoring the existing network. I found it not as informative as I previously experienced using ipMonitor and we were preparing for a network migration. I ended up setting up remote monitoring using … Helpful? PC Paul Cheng IT Manager Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor ipMonitor is easier to set up and is straightforward. The other products seem to require getting a bit more into the weeds to get everything to work correctly. It was more work than I was willing to do and opted to just go with an off-the-shelf solution that could get my … Incentivized Helpful? BM Brian Maull Network admin Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We have been using IPMonitor for over a decade. We have looked at other products in the past, but none of them have provided enough reason to even consider switching. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We have not evaluated other products recently. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrator Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor I feel that ipMonitor does not provide the granularity or level of configuration we require for our teams. We actually are looking at other means of customizing our monitors using the products listed, which I think will provide my teams with the ability to create better alerts … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor These are only a few of what we looked at, and at the end of the day it came down to cost, low footprint, and ease of use. I have suggested SolarWinds to anyone who asks what we use. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor IpMonitor is easy to set up and has a clear and easy reading interface. It's user-friendly for entry-level technicians. The price is good. However, for big enterprises, PRTG Network Monitor might be a better solution. Incentivized Helpful? Rob Bates Public & Private Cloud 4th Line Senior Engineer Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor There are some great free or low-cost tools out there. It all depends on your budget and size. We have used a wide variety of products over the years but we recently switched our entire monitoring backbone to SolarWinds products only. They cover just about everything and … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Manager Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor SolarWinds ipMonitor is well thought out and includes many more advanced capabilities. Spiceworks functions in a more basic manner where the tools feel more entry level rather than for professional use. Incentivized Helpful? Jason Martin Managed Services Network Engineer Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor I've used simple scripted monitoring tools before, used IP monitor until we upgraded the enterprise to one scalable tool that can replace and upgrade per SLA SOX compliance standards. I moved to a larger company (much larger) and we don't use SolarWinds here. We use WUG which … Incentivized Helpful? GN Glen Nason Systems Engineer, Windows Server Support Group, Enterprise Technology Services Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor Used ipMonitor for 7 years. Switched recently to Idera because of larger feature set and monitoring capabilities not available on IPmonitor. For tasks that both products can do, I still prefer IPmonitor. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor SolarWinds ipMonitor is an easier solution and allows for a rapid configuration change without all the extra bells and whistles that you can find in SolarWinds Orion. Incentivized Helpful? Mike Maner Network Systems Engineer Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We have used Pasessler PRTG and ManageEngine OpsManager. Both are good products, but aren't really monitoring products, they are more management products with monitoring built in. The smaller footprint of ipMonitor, as well as the historical data storage options, were a better … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Executive Chose SolarWinds ipMonitor We used numerous free solutions that provide minimal and focused response. Solar Winds has a much larger scope in the resolutions it provides to us.

User Testimonials
	SolarWinds ipMonitor
Likelihood to Recommend	SolarWinds SolarWinds ipMonitor is well suited in situation where customer do not wants to hold the responsibility of underlying monitoring infrastructure management such as Servers, Database, website and their high availability. And of course when you need Network, Servers, Services fault and performance monitoring. When you have specialized network monitoring requirement such as Configuration backup, netflow traffic analysis then this is not the right tool. Incentivized Rekha Yadav Development Team Lead Read full review
Pros	SolarWinds Both network devices and servers may be easily located on the network. It notifies the user whenever any network device undergoes a change in status. Powerful reporting capabilities that provide vital data about your network's devices (uptime, space, utilization of resources on your devices) Incentivized Anil Singh Director Read full review
Cons	SolarWinds It is a very complete and versatile software, but its price can be somewhat high for small companies. During the analysis of the collected data the process can be somewhat slow, so it takes more time than expected. Its configuration process can be somewhat complex since it requires several configurations so having prior knowledge is helpful. Incentivized Emma Jones Smith Senior Software Engineering Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	SolarWinds I have very few pieces of software, that are specific to IT and IT services, that just work. Honestly, I don't need the support as it never breaks, but I believe in rewarding vendors that make valuable products Incentivized Mike Maner Network Systems Engineer Read full review
Usability	SolarWinds SolarWinds ipMonitor is a perfectly decent network mapper and performance metric gatherer, but it is held back by the UI, which can be hard to navigate once you have more than a couple dozen assets in there. It is fairly priced, but it also sometimes takes a really long time before results come in. Incentivized Dylan Eikelenboom Security Officer Read full review
Support Rating	SolarWinds Although I had not much support ticket with ipMonitor support team but I can share my overall experience with SolarWinds products and support team. I am working with SolarWinds support team since last 7 years and in last 2-3 years I have seen a significant improvement in knowledge documentation which is helping end users to troubleshoot problems by themselves. Apart from this SolarWinds phone call based support is very nice as tickets and emails might take some time but a direct phone call can get your job done quickly comparatively.

Alternatives Considered	SolarWinds We were trying to evaluate different providers and ipMonitor suited us because we had on-prem and cloud instances and management decided to check the paid tool. The ipMonitor is a very responsive tool and it served the purpose well but as IT is evolving and needs are changing, we discontinued the ipMonitor and shifted to Zabbix due to the customization which was the need at the time. Incentivized Umair Mehboob Senior Devops Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	SolarWinds We currently use an outside service to monitor critical network nodes. We will do away with that service shortly. We no longer have to wait to hear from our users if there is a network device down. We will be proactively alerted and we can begin to remediate immediately helping to limit downtime. After initial setup and some tweaking, it requires little to no time to maintain. Incentivized PC Paul Cheng IT Manager Read full review
