Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds IP Address Manager

SolarWinds IP Address Manager was implemented few years ago as we needed a good solution to manage our subnets and IP adresses, as our network is spreaded between many subsidiaries accros North America. It starts as a network tool but now it's used by all IT depts as it's very easy to use and we added all our knowdledge inside. Our automated server deployment system is also using IPAM for choosing right subnet and mange IP adresses lifecycle.
  • Very flexible organization in folders/sites
  • Good integration with Microsoft DNS/DHCP
  • ICMP scans and ARP tables imports
  • Easy setup
  • DNS/DHCP integration a little complicated and not bi-directional
  • IP request form not customizable
  • Some scan issues
  • Real view of IP allocation
  • One console to manage IP allocation for servers and end-users (with DHCP integration)
  • Reporting and alerts for subnet usages
  • Duplicate IP alerts
We had some integrations problems with Microsoft DNS/DHCP servers, SolarWinds support helped us to resolve them, even when problem was Microsoft's side. Only negative point is their response time can be significant.

SolarWinds IP Address Manager is a must for mid to large-sized businesses, with any network configurations. If you have multiple teams involved in IP management/assignment you cannot avoid it, especially if you want to automate IP management. SolarWinds IP Address Manager is not designed only for network teams so every IT people can use it. If you want to allow end-users asking IPs so you'll need to use SolarWinds APIs and make your own form/system.
