Intermapper Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Intermapper to monitor our network connections between data closets and locations and to track network traffic and throughput. We needed something to help us respond to network issues before end users were adversely impacted. Intermapper has helped us react much quicker to outages to limit the amount of downtime for our end users.

Intermapper is a good solution for monitoring network connections and traffic flow, so if you are looking for a solution to give you a good visual of your connections and traffic status, and provide notifications when there are issues, Intermapper is a solid solution.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Intermapper in the Information Systems department to monitor our infrastructure for our entire organization. It is a relatively inexpensive and easy to use tool for the monitoring and notification of critical infrastructures status and availability. We keep it running on all our desktops and on a TV in the office to assess the availability of all our switches, virtual servers, and other critical infrastructure devices. It uses visible, audible, and email alerts to notify of problems.

Intermapper is a light weight, quick and easy to use monitoring application. It will get you up and monitoring key infrastructure devices with a simple management interface and effective alert system that doesn't generate a lot of noise. It provides mobile device access through a web interface and is relatively inexpensive.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Intermapper within our department to monitor all of our network connectivity devices and their backup batteries.

Likelihood to Recommend

Even with Intermapper's quirks, it is still a great solution for monitoring a network. It is so customizable that it would work in any environment big or small.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Intermapper to monitor all of our servers and our network infrastructure. We use this specifically in the IT department and it allows us to be proactive instead of reactive.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think overall it's a great product that does what it's designed to do, which is allow you to be proactive with your environment. It's perfect for us where we're trying to monitor server activity with WMI probes and SNMP probes. If you want to do a of data flow analysis, I think Intermapper is a little clunk y for that.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Intermapper in our IT department to monitor our connections to our plants. We display them on TVs and they let us know that our plants are up, down, or running slow. It helps us get ahead of any issues before our plants call us. We can be proactive vs. reactive.

Intermapper is great for getting us ahead of an issue. I can see when a plant is up, down, running slow, etc. We get a nice look at the main connection to our sites, as well as backup circuits all displayed at our NOC. Very easy to use and easy to work with.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Monitoring systems managed by SOJC IT Operations. Websites, file servers, various printers and network hardware.

It primarily acts as a notification system if a service or system goes down. As a largely 24/7 operation, without an actual Ops desk, this needs to be automated notifications when things go down, so I, or my backup, can get things back up.

Likelihood to Recommend

For those more comfortable with a GUI, or need Apple specific probes, it's great. For those that are on a limited budget, or are more familiar with a command line, I'd probably recommend a free option like nagios, etc.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Intermapper is my main systems monitor software. <i>I use different software to monitor SIEM, AD and that sort of thing. But Intermapper is what lets me know what's up and what's down with a wonderful live network map. When we get a helpdesk ticket for a network related problem, a simple glance at the Intermapper map lets me know if the issue is isolated or company wide.</i>

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As the network administrator for Anchorage Water &amp; Wastewater utility, I use Intermapper on a daily basis. Several other techs in our IT department use it as well. I monitor 150 routers and switches as well as servers, access points,UPSs, SCADA PLCs and just about anything else you can think of with an IP address. I look at it when I first come in in the morning, as a quick and dirty view of the network, to see if anything is down. I have about 18 maps that I've built and I can use the double-click action to log into any of the devices on any map. This makes managing everything very easy and convenient.

It's great for monitoring SNMP devices; if you can just set up ping/echo to devices.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We currently use InterMapper to monitor Layer 2 and Layer 3 devices. We also InterMapper to grab SFlows and NetFlows to put together graphs and statistics. We are able to monitor the devices and flows in real-time. The Help desk, server team and network team use the monitoring, alerting and statistics to quickly address and resolve any issues across the WAN.

Excellent for verifying a device status at a remote location at a glance. Excellent monitoring of interface utilization. A great way to find a device in the chart that may be using up a lot of bandwidth.
