  • Saves lots of time with reporting with audits
  • Easy view of our current information at a glance for technicians
I think for the price this product offers much more. Maybe not as pretty but certainly is feature rich with the ability to add and manage multiple device brands (Cisco, Cisco Meraki, Fortinet, Palo) in an easy to use and very customizable interface. You can get as deep as you want in terms of integration from the ability to make changes to your devices through the interface to just reporting, viewing, or alerting on devices. The IPAM interface has the ability to customize tons of fields to make sure what is going on a static port is noted to perfection, or just have a dns entry pull what it can. Port history and port views are incredibly helpful in our environment. Has the ability to build your server racks and build network diagrams which works well and let me give my Visio license to someone else. This product has pretty much anything you could need, the support is good, they update the software regularly, has MFA which shouldn't need to be said but some of the products we looked at don't. Other than the minor annoyances of this product, its overall a very good value and works well.

This software is well suited for a small to mid-size businesses that need a good all in one network solution. Being able to have a good network overview that is customizable in almost any aspect is very nice. The IPAM system is great, can report on all network devices and has many built in, with others having templates readily available on their site. It's easy to manage and setup and user administration is easy and you can give your employees only the access they need.

No, we have the normal support offered for this application.
We had issues with our reporting history for the IPAM module retaining the history. Opened a chat request and as they were unable to help escalated the ticket. A day later we had a remote session going and they worked for an hour to get this component working again correctly.
