Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why.
I have utilized IP monitor for smaller network projects for over the past 10 years and it has assisted with giving some visibility into the network and reporting that we were able to produce for burn-in monitoring to successfully complete projects. I have also used ipMonitor in addition to the Orion Network Performance Monitor for local monitoring on a safety system in case access to the centralized management system is unavailable.
- Visibility
- Reporting
- Alerting
- Historical data
- Configuration management
We use ipMonitor to help oversee the status of dozens of network devices across our organization by keeping track of things like performance, space and uptime. It saves the need to have to have to log in to every device to determine the status of a particular device. It's like having your own automated NOC.
- Easily discovers devices on your network.
- Preset network monitors for common areas of interests such as uptime, space and utilization.
- Straightforward setup.
- The interface could be more intuitive.
- Alerts could be less dry.
- Rebooting the ipMonitor host seems to trigger every monitor you've selected to send an email.

We use IPMonitor to monitor all of our servers, both production, and test for various things such as response to ping, resource usage, service availability, and to alert the proper staff when needed.
- Monitoring servers and services.
- Alerting on change of state.
- Reporting historical data on availability.
- Sometimes it is difficult to stop IPMon from alerting on regular usage that spikes resources.

We use ipMonitor in our platform and infrastructure teams almost exclusively, though other users are able to view the data when needed. We use the application to alert for unresponsive services, the F5 pool status, if a server can ping, and the various other ways that a system or server can fail and that make sense to monitor.
- A good place to look for an overall feel of how all systems are performing or if the alerts are configured correctly.
- Integrations with API services such as Pager Duty as well as SMS messaging.
- Somewhat clunky and painful to set up.
- Not very intuitive in terms of how to configure new alerts.
- Limitations on what can be monitored based on an agent-less configuration.
We are using it within the IT office to monitor uptime of equipment and services. This has significantly helped to improve uptime and response time as needed. We are very happy with the product and would recommend it. I am sure there are other products that have more bells and whistles but SolarWinds ipMonitor does more than people think.
- Ping monitor.
- Service monitor.
- Reporting. It makes it so much easier for board reports on uptime.
- More complex monitoring.
- Could be a touch easier to manage.
It is used to manage the IP addresses in the infrastructure. It helps manage the DNS zones and monitors for errors. Its allows us the ability to monitor each VLAN zone to better understand how well we are managing sprawl and rogue devices. We have found it to be very useful.
- easy to use
- good data
- affordable
- seems limited with integration to Orion
- would like it to have better canned reports
- better alerts

We were looking for a little more out of our server monitoring and out wanted something off the shelf, and ipMonitor was a perfect fit. Easy server configuration, light weight, not overly demanding on resources and the support staff Solarwinds are great to deal with should you have an issue.
- Server monitoring.
- Notifications.
- Custom service monitoring.
- GUI is a little dated.
- Mapper is a little limited.
- Lack of dashboard customization compared to others.

ipmonitor is geared towards smaller environments. It's a great alternative product if you need additional monitoring on certain environments, which might fall outside your core monitoring platforms. We already use a lot of the SolarWinds products across the organization. We needed to monitor some DEV environments that we didn't place under our main monitoring umbrella.
- Really easy to setup and configure
- No learning curve
- Simple alerting system with no complex rules
- It's basic at best in terms of advanced features, but it's geared towards this so that is no surprise.
- Its also free so you can't really complain much.

We use ipMonitor to manage our monitoring of software and hardware resources network-wide.
- ipMonitor is well suited to use SNMP sources to monitor up states and usage such as network interfaces
- ipMonitor does a great job of measuring bandwidth usage and delivering a long term 'picture' of usage
- ipMonitor has an exceptional interface that is easy to use and simple to navigate
- ipMonitor network maps could be simpler to manage and have more options for device representation

The entire organization is using IPmonitor for the monitoring of servers and some services, via SNMP and Ping.
- The default dashboard is well designed and simple to use. It shows what is needed at-a-glance.
- The setup of new servers is simple and I like the process explorer functionality
- "Top 10" lists are useful
- I find some of the reporting visualizations confusing when drilling down to devices and seeing availability and response times.

SolarWinds was brought into our PROD/DEV environments. The infrastructure was growing and we needed a solid product with back end support. A plus is the ability to rescale with a shopping cart full of free tools and further products you can add to the overall package. The NetFlow analyzer was awesome when it came out, we could see everything all shown as traffic flows. The ability to monitor Network, Hardware, and Databases for an infrastructure spanning 4 DC's and 3 different office's spread over hundreds of miles. They are constantly adding tools and features with a community forum that is always growing in depth, with solutions and support.
- SIngle platform.
- Expandability.
- Support.
- Configuration can be a bear in large environments.
- Tuning your hardware monitors can be tricky; it's different for each one.
- There is a learning curve, but worth the effort.

Department level. Monitoring about 80 servers. Configured to monitor ping, selected services start/stop, CPU and RAM levels, notify engineers of trouble or impending trouble.
- Monitoring of server basic status items like ping, memory and CPU levels. Configuring alerts based on event log event IDs. If you don't need the advanced features of some other monitoring systems, ipMonitor is much simpler to configure and use.
- Configuration is simple and easy, menus are clear and simple to follow. Alerting is straightforward to configure also.
- Switched to Idera because of a need in the department for more advanced features such as triggering scripts for certain events. The downside is it is much more complex to configure and use.

We have been using SolarWinds IpMonitor for about three years to monitor our infrastructure, mostly for network devices and servers. It is very easy to set up and configure, and I strongly believe is an affordable tool for small and medium businesses price wise.
IpMonitor is a tool we use to display vital system sensors on a wall TV screen in our IT department. It has a pretty informative interface with only the details we need for our operations.

- Easy to set up and manage.
- Easily readable interface.
- Low cost.
- The map view could be a little bit simpler.
Our IT department uses SolarWinds ipMonitor for full network visibility. It allows us to keep tabs on the performance of our network devices and applications. We can configure alerts through various types of notifications to determine when issues arise.
- Automatic discovery of devices.
- There is no need to install agents.
- Good visibility of issues through maps and metrics on a dashboard.
- Revamped UI.

We leverage SolarWinds ipMonitor in one of our data centers to ensure critical services and servers are operational in both our DMZ and internal network. The system proves accurate and immediate alerts, so our technicians can mitigate any downtime we are experiencing.
- SolarWinds ipMonitor leverages SNMP to monitor up/down states of all components.
- SolarWinds ipMonitor has a simple and easy to use interface.
- SolarWinds ipMonitor could benefit from a feature-rich reporting tool.

SolarWinds is used in the Technology department to analyze network traffic flow for all switches throughout the district.
- Network monitoring. Can monitor network flow with great detail and accuracy.
- Vendor agnostic monitor and log analysis. It works with all of our vendors and I can use a single application to monitor my network instead of three separate pieces.
- Log file capture and analysis is quick and accurate.
- Auto capture of devices across the network is time consuming
- Setting up rules and permissions
- Distributed roles and responsibilities can be a little too confined to a determined box
