Overall Satisfaction with SolarWinds IP Address Manager (IPAM)
We have been centralising our IP allocation after years of neglect and Solarwind's IPAM turned out to be a great product making the whole experience much easier. Furthermore it gives us live monitoring of utilisation of particular subnets - which then allowed us to be proactive to problems, rather than wait for reports from users about devices not working.
I quite like the hierarchical structure we can put the subnets in, as this makes the whole management easier. We're still on a journey to leverage it's full potential but in our environment we tend to implement tools as far as needed to solve a problem (which it did) and refine it only when there's time to spare. I'm sure in coming months we'll have a chance to explore it's functionality further.

Pros
- IP address management.
- Subnet utilisation reporting.
- Network structuring.
Cons
- User interface is a bit complex.
- Ability to mute/tailor alert icons for transport subnets.
- Facilitates network management.
- Removes reliance on spreadsheets.
- Saves engineer's time.
We checked Windows IPAM which seems well suited for smaller networks. Other products didn't cut it based on cost - this also integrates with the rest of our SolarWinds estate.
