Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds IP Address Manager

Not in just a single role but in a few that blend integrated DHCP, DNS, and IP address management all in one. It's such a core tool that all teams have read access, even the helpdesk which answers and reduces simple but repetitive questions.
  • IP Address management which is the core yet it does it very well.
  • Integrated DHCP scanning.
  • DNS monitoring and scanning hence reading and writing to AD integrated DNS.
  • So many details and choices that it's hard to come up with an idea to improve it.
  • ROI can quickly be seen in time savings.
The integration of IP management, DHCP and AD DNS in one package makes IPAM so much more than just a DNS or just an IP tool.
The bigger and more diverse the environment the more IPAM will show it's abilities and how useful it truly it is as a tool. The only scenario where I can see that it may not be needed is if the environment is made up of only one VLAN and just one person/team taking care of all IP needs.
