Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds IP Address Manager

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In the Technology building we give access to all techs to access IPAM. This allows easy access to verify if an IP address is currently used, what machine is using it, and if there are any free IPs in a given subnet. This is an amazing tool when looking for a static IP to give a new Printer and such.

Pros and Cons

Search for a given IP address
Look in a subnet of IPs
Find free addresses in a range

Cons

An easy way to update the range, in case there were recent additions
Better polling of device names
Easy way to ping an address

Return on Investment

Made it much easier for a technician to look up information on their own
Free up the specialists to do hight job functions

Support Rating

It is a solid product, and works well, but there are times when you are looking for just a little extra.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great to do quick lookups in a range or subnet. Holds old names so if a system is powered off, you can still see it. On the same note, sometimes it take a while for a device to fall off the list. Would like IPAM to match with DHCP to refresh scopes and clear out old systems that have been powered off or removed.
