ipMonitor is perfect for large scale monitoring tool
We have deployed all our EC2 instances on Amazon and ipMonitor was used to monitor all the instances. ipMonitor is a very responsive tool in terms of monitoring your resources. We had in-house and cloud-based resources which were monitored through ipMonitor and the best part was the responsiveness. We were monitoring the server health checks with storage and resources usage through ipMonitor.
- Server Health Checks
- Website responses
- Applications monitoring
- Costing
- Scope of monitoring must be customised
- SNMP configuration needs to be more simple
SolarWinds ipMonitor is used at the level of the entire infrastructure of our business network. It helps us to carry out the monitoring of each of our network devices, servers, and applications, which facilitates us to observe their performance and to be able to find where, how and when critical problems occur in our network. Its interface is simple and very easy to use and gives the advantage of being able to view, from a single console, the status of the entire infrastructure that is monitored 24/7. We not only observe performance but also we are aware of any device that wishes to harm the network.
- Monitors the entire infrastructure 24/7, which facilitates the vision of any unknown device that wishes to enter the network
- Send alerts immediately upon detection of a status change in network devices.
- It allows to visualize the performance from a single console of each device, server and applications
- It is very easy to use and implement
- 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.

SolarWinds ipMonitor Review
SolarWinds ipMonitor is being used as simple fault and availability monitoring of our remote network devices IP and some of the critical application services and URLs. This tool has a wider visibility in terms of operations as there is a quick response team aligned and monitoring objects very closely and 24*7 of business critical components.
- network Monitroing
- Servers and Services Monitoring
- Alerting and reports
- Modern Dashboard
- More custom capabilities of monitoring
- Detailed network monitoring such as for netflow
- Integration with 3rd party tools
- integration with native SolarWinds on-premises products
SolarWinds ipMonitor is a monitoring tool for all devices in your internal network. We use it for checking the performance of the devices, as well as monitoring for unknown/rogue devices in the internal network. Any new device in the network will be added to our ipMonitor tool.
- Gives quite some in-depth information about computer performance (CPU, disk, memory)
- Shows known issues with critical processes on desktops
- Easy to use and set up
- The user interface is quite outdated
- Scans sometimes take a very long time
- It has a bit too many configuration options

Simple and Easy to Use Monitoring Tool
SolarWinds ipMonitor provides basic Network and System Monitoring for small to medium n/w's. We have used it for monitoring equipment only for some of the departments (IT). It is used for troubleshooting network and system problems. It does not provide all the functionalities what SolarWinds NPM provides.
- It is simple to implement and work with
- Provides decent analytics
- Needs minimum System requirements
- Does not provide detailed information which you can expect from another tool like npm
- Does not integrate well with other SolarWinds modules like SAM etc

Nice product to start SaaS journey with SolarWinds
ipMonitor is being used to monitor the availability of network devices, servers and services remotely. Although, SolarWinds ipMonitor is not being used much our customers there are very few which are using still this is not a bad feedback since SolarWinds has other monitoring products are are quite effective and hence ipMonitor is very less used.
- Simple monitoring configuration wizard
- Out of the box alerts
- SaaS Service
- Built in reports and dashboard
- Lack of integrated visibility with other infrastructure since they are being monitored separately
- Product uniqueness is missing
- in-built integration with major services are required
- cloud infra monitoring integration is missing

Good monitoring solution
We're using SolarWinds ipMonitor, in addition to other SolarWinds modules such as Application monitor and Network Performance monitor, since 2017 as our global solution for monitoring.
It's been used to monitor connectivity status (response to ping, usage, availability) of thousands of network equipment and servers from all our sites in more than 40 countries. It's also configured to alert the proper technicians/analysts/teams responsible for each equipment.

- Monitoring/alerting.
- Reporting/dashboards.
- Ping and service monitor.
- Equipment discovery.
- Could have a more friendly user interface (SLW platform is very complex in general speaking).
- Alerts could be more flexible and easy to configure.

Vetted Review
Verified User
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

ipMonitor Gets the Job Done.
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.

IPMonitor Does What It Needs To Do
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.

ipMonitor Review
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.

ipMonitor -- A lackluster experience
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.

Stop looking at the others and use SolarWinds
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.

SolarWinds ipMonitor
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

IpMonitor --a reliable tool for IT Engineers
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.

ipMonitor: Easy and Cheap Solution for the Small Environment
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.

ipMonitor
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.
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.

Solid product for simpler monitoring tasks
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 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.

Why use ipMonitor? Here is actual use data to tell you why.
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

A first class product at a price you can afford
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

IpMonitor offers enterprise ready monitoring with easy setup. I believe this brings a better value for an organization.
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.
