The interface to manage and review IP addresses is easy to use and has low complexity. Any user can navigate the tool without issues. I highly recommend this product for a simple interface.
BT Diamond IP required the company remote to make changes we constantly had to message
support which in my opinion was not worth it. All research said SolarWinds IP Address Manager was the best by a wide margin. We had no issues with SolarWinds IP Address Manager, and we got a …
Solarwinds is an extension of those tools which allows us to benefit from a single management tool. It compliments other tools in the Solarwinds suite of tools. We are quite happy with the integration Solarwinds provides with these tools.
SolarWinds IP Address Manager was cheaper than both alternatives and far easier to manage. Device42 interface is years behind what Solarwinds offers. It is very outdated; BT Diamond required remote management and we constantly had to message support, it reached a point where …
My company used SolarWinds and WhatsUp. SolarWinds was always considered our defacto leader for monitoring and alerting. I have yet to come across another product that is as robust, consistent, or competent as Solarwinds. As they say, you get what you pay for. If you're willing …
We tested Infoblox and Microsoft free IPAM. Infoblox was too expensive for our budget and Microsoft didn't provide the features we needed. SolarWinds IPAM was a good fit for our budget.
Given we already used APM, Netflow, and other SolarWinds products; the addition of IPAM was logical for our company. Other solutions may provide more in depth functionality, but we didn't require a standalone system for IPAM, DNS, etc.
This I found much easier to implement and the interface was easy to use out of the box. The sales team was more diligent in getting me the information needed to help prove the usefulness of this tool to my upper management. They quickly got the right person to answer my …
The biggest factor that made my organization choose SolarWinds IP Address Manager over the others was cost. SolarWinds has very competitive pricing while providing similar functionality to its competitors. During the trial, it was difficult to justify paying nearly triple the …
SolarWinds IPAM is easy to use and has a lot more features than most options. The pricing is better suited to small to mid-size companies. Notifications are easy to setup and provide enough information to track down any issues. We also do not see a lot of false positives in …
We are much comfortable in using SolarWinds over other IP Management tools such as Evolve IP or Efficient IP, since SolarWinds IPAM is not just good in IP Management, Dashboard, DNS and DHCP management as Automation, but the fact is we use other SolarWinds modules such as npm, …
We actually tested the other one after the fact near the end of support license for SolarWinds. SolarWinds won because the other product could not match the things SolarWinds IP address Manager could do.
Bringing in IPAM rather than WhatsUp let[s] us keep all of our monitoring in one tool, rather than have 2 or 3 additional tools that we need to switch between.
SolarWinds IP Address Manager is very useful the bigger and more complex the environment. Smaller organizations will have to consider the cost as it provides little benefit over monitoring maybe 2-3 servers. But I have over 24 DHCP servers with on average 15 subnets each so tracking and monitoring all that was very time-consuming. As a result, it was generally ignored until there was an issue. With SolarWinds IP Address Manager, I was able to set alerts to monitor scope utilization and duplicate IP addresses.
With IPAM automated address scanning, we can be confident that we are looking at an up-to-date, accurate snapshot of our network.
The built-in alerts are a great safety net. We know that even if we aren't paying close attention to our IP address space, IPAM is. If a range is nearly full, IPAM lets us know before it becomes a real problem.
IPAM's event logging gives us insight into any and all changes made by our network engineers.
The user experience is not as intuitive as other products. We have to be more restrictive around level 1 help desk access compared to NCM or NPM in SolarWinds.
Making and enforcing changes, not just monitoring, has been hit or miss in some instances.
We are heavily invested in SolarWinds. We currently own Network Performance Monitor, Netflow Traffic Analyzer, User Device Tracker, Server Application Monitor and Network Configuration Manager. We have NOC mode setup for deskside support for monitoring any down devices that may effect our network across the globe. This application gives us the information we need when we need it.
SolarWinds IPAM is like what SolarWinds itself says, i.e. easy to use and simple. SolarWinds has really made their orion and non-orion platform products so simple that any newbie can give a try and make the best use out of it. I learned SolarWinds IPAM by myself in a POC environment, and not just IPAM but other modules and now I own 6 certifications. You see how easy to use this product is.
We do not integrate IPAM into other systems other than the standard Orion integration. The performance is reasonable, however, we are running all the SolarWinds applications on a very large server.
I have not contacted customer support and therefore have no experience in this area. I know we have some issues with our VAR support at this time for Orion, but I don't know if the IPAM falls into the same support structure. Perhaps others in the organization may know more regarding the support area.
SolarWinds IP Address Manager was cheaper than both alternatives and far easier to manage. Device42 interface is years behind what Solarwinds offers. It is very outdated; BT Diamond required remote management and we constantly had to message support, it reached a point where it was better not to have the product at all.
We have not experienced any scalability issues with this product. However, SolarWinds needs to allow users to scale horizontally without any license restrictions. For example, we would like to separate Netflow and Orion onto different platforms but are unable to due to license restrictions.
IPAM has saved countless hours of running scripts and gathering data to compile reports to plan re-subnetting globally.
IPAM has reduced helpdesk incidents by immediately spotting bad DNSR and IP conflicts.
IPAM has helped eliminate blocks on projects whereas there is not currently enough address space requiring major changes to accommodate more IP'ed servers, gear, etc.
