Intermapper delivers solid network monitoring and notifications
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 did a fairly good job of automatically identifying our routers and switches when creating maps.
- The interface is intuitive.
- The visual mapping displaying the links and traffic flow are very good.
- If it doesn't auto-detect a device, it can be cumbersome to create and connect.
- Navigating between maps could be easier.
- We have had issues at times with notifications.
- Monitoring network traffic and infrastructure connections.
- Notifications when connections are disrupted.
- Visual mapping of our locations and connections.

- Intermapper has allowed us to respond quickly to outages rather than being notified by end users.
- We have cut outage time by 25% by being able to respond quickly.
- Staff trust the uptime reliability of our network because we can respond much quicker to issues.

Intermapper: A great Monitoring Tool
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 easy to install and get working quickly.
- It gives us a real time look at our network across the board.
- We can be alerted immediately if a site is having issues.
- I don't have many complaints with Intermapper. It's a pretty simple tool for what we use it for, and it has worked well for us.

- Downtime costs money. Every minute we can get ahead of an outage is time that a plant is not sitting there waiting. We don't need to wait for a call from a plant, we know they are down immediately and we can begin troubleshooting.
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.

Intermapper works, and works well, but isn't for everyone
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.

- Provides some out of the box Apple centric probes.
- Provides a relatively user friendly GUI
- Missing the ability, still, after years of asking, for dynamic probe names in a map. I should be able to look at a map, and see "system is down for X minutes" without clicking on the device to get it's status.
- Free option for an offsite monitor to let you know if your main monitoring system is down. There used to be a 5-for-free license, but that doesn't seem to exist anymore.

- Unsure. I've never bothered to really do an ROI on something like Intermapper. It's a must to have device/service monitoring, so regardless of its ROI, it would still be something I'd need to have.
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 probe than any of the alternates I've tried.

Best live map systems monitor software on the market
Intermapper is my main systems monitor software. 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.
- Another great feature is that it shows you, visually, the bandwidth utilization of your network by using "ants" and color codes. Incredibly useful.
- Alarms are very easy to setup, again much easier than the packages mentioned above.
- Room for improvement would be better "shortcuts", they have some great setup shortcuts in some sections, but none at all in others, for some reason.
- Intermapper does not print out very well. What would be awesome is if you could export the map in Visio format.
- Cleaning up after map discovery can be tedious. For example when it finds a switch, it maps out every individual switch port. It can be time consuming to getting the map just as you want it. Good news, you only have to do this once.

- I have a great big monitor sitting outside my office. Anybody can walk by and at a glance, see that everything is running. Sometimes it's hard to get visibility to the IT department, this is a great way to do it.
- When the Boss walks by and sees all the green systems and the complexity of it all, you get less heat from being "overhead" and a mystery as to what IT does.
- At a glance I can see what network segments are getting stress, how all the UPS systems are performing and if any servers are getting over utilized.
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 really want, a dashboard view of what's up and what's down. Another place Intermapper shines is data collection. I don't know how it does it, but it can store years of data on the SMTP items you may be monitoring. I've never had disk space issues.

Intermapper is a must have for Network Monitoring
As the network administrator for Anchorage Water & 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.
- Monitors devices via SNMP.
- Allows logging into devices via helper apps, making management very easy.
- You can monitor Microsoft Windows Services with Intermapper.
- You can set up alerting for when devices are down. The alerting can be an e-mail or text, or an audible alarm.
- Does trending or charting of network links so you can see network utilization over time.
- Sometimes when you set up connectivity between devices, the links will disappear or change.
- Sometimes the display gets wonky.
- Sometimes charts seem to disappear.

- We've experienced much better network visibility.
- We've experienced quicker problem resolution.
- We've used the trending feature to justify more bandwidth to various sites.
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 currently use SolarWinds Orion for additional monitoring and configuration backup as well as netflow monitoring.
